New York – An Islamist assassin has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of eight people in New York. Because the jury, according to media reports, might not agree on a death sentence for the 35-year-old on Monday, he automatically received the maximum possible prison sentence. The perpetrator, who had already been found guilty in January, would have received the death penalty, which is extremely rare in New York State, if the decision had been unanimous.
