Pulse nightclub shooter's wife found not guilty
ABC News ^ | 03/30/2018 | MEGHAN KENEALLY and KELLEY ROBINSON

Noor Salman, the wife of Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, was declared not guilty on all counts Friday morning.

She faced charges of obstruction and providing material support to a terrorist organization.

A guilty verdict could have lead to life in prison.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys painted radically different pictures of Salman over the course of the trial -- on the one hand helping her husband prepare for the attack and on the other, an abused woman who "married a monster."

Prove the guilt. They couldn’t. That is how the justice system works. It may not be perfect, but it is the best justice system in the world. SUCK IT UP!

“Oh yeah. It’s always the woman’s fault.”

Not in this case. The jury of her peers found her NOT GUILTY. Move on. The prosecutors should be fined and/or disciplined for wasting tax payers’ money. They always overcharge hoping to get lesser charges stick. They need to be jailed for wasting our money.

“indeed, and yet she walks free after playing I am a muslim victim woman card.”

Don’t act like a snowflake. She could not be proven guilty. If she was guilty, she would have been proven guilty. Simple concept.

Lots of people on juries are stupid and cowardly and will not return a guilty verdict unless they have 100% proof that someone is guilty.

Last time I checked, that's more or less how it's supposed to work.

The judge directed and polled the jury pool prior to selection that each potential juror was to decide guilt or innocence based upon the law as it currently was, not how they want it to be.

A jury sits in judgement of the defendant and the law. A jury may find that the defendant absolutely beyond a reasonable doubt broke the law as written, yet nevertheless find the defendant Not Guilty, because they find the law unjust or unfair.

And, the best part is, there is no appeal!

She admitted her involvement. That confession was invalidated by lawyers who cried that she didn’t have proper representation at the time.

Suck yourself.

Not surprising at all. Sounds like the typical far-left activist judge which seems to be the norm these days.

Some people do sneak through the cracks and get away with murder though.

Proof beyond a doubt is the purpose of a trial.

Jury ‘convinced’ Noor Salman knew of Pulse nightclub attack, but had ‘no option’ but to acquit, foreman says!:

The Comey Charade of watching and protecting Muslim terrorists and abettors continues without Comey.

The FBI knew where this Muslim Jihadist was after her gay husband slaughtered gays in the night club.

She was in the San Francisco Bay area with her family after the slaughter. She was probably flown there by the FBI. If they were interested in arresting her, they would have ordered TSA not to allow her to take any flight in America or out of the country.

Besides protecting an abettor of Jihadist terrorism, this was another shot at our 2nd amendment by the FBI!

This reply earns you an A+ for your posting name!

I believe the the government purposely lost the case.

As soon as she brought out the fact that the father was a paid FBI informant and that the FBI was working directly to recruit her husband the shooter the government deliberately lost the case.

She was going to make public more information on the corrupt and politicized Obama FBI.

The corrupt FIB and DOJ do not want to arrest or imprison any Muslim terrorists period. It is as simple as that.

They will always help them avoid prosecution.

Funny, isn’t it, how the FBI seems to always be at the nexus of these mass shootings. I’m sure its all just a big coincidence. Repeated over and over.

This is a combo of Leroy Gibbs on NCIS of his rule 39, 39A and Rule 40!

Rule 39: "There is no such thing as coincidence." - revealed in Obsession (episode) although DiNozzo states that Rule 39A is "There is no such thing as a small world" during Canary (episode). Rule 40: "If it seems like someone is out to get you, they are." - revealed in Borderland!

Well, "Laws" (manipulated by Jews, the White Man, and the Corporate Fat Cats) are overrated and have contributed vastly to the suffering of minorities, womyn, and the oppressed - especially citizens of other nations struggling to get free stuff as part of their fair share of the so-called "American Dream" which as we know is a big lie designed to benefit smelly white men who wear Old Spice and drive pickup trucks to "work." The important thing is not the White Man's backward "Justice," with juries and all that nonsense, but Social Justice, to be distributed by Social Justice Leaders, Community Organizers, etc. Only then will REAL Americans, such as the undocumented heroes who are the pride of our national diversity, finally be FREE.

You do realize I was sardonically responding to another poster comment, right?

Proof beyond a reasonable doubt. You seldom get proof beyond the shadow of a doubt.

They’ll catch her next time, and she’ll see to it that there is a next time.
