Closing arguments were made Tuesday in the terror trial of Sayfullo Saipov.
In its three-hour closing argument, the prosecution pointed to a mountain of evidence against the 34-year-old, explaining how he turned a"bike path into his battlefield" by following the ISIS terror playbook -- using a 6,000-pound rental truck, targeting a crowded area and even carrying a confession with him to the crime.
A crash expert testified Saipov appeared to be speeding upwards of nearly 60 mph. Saipov told investigators he intended to keep going to the Brooklyn Bridge but hit some poles and a school bus.His defense attorneys argue Saipov thought he would die during the attack and therefore couldn't be trying to become a member of ISIS.
