Orlando Shooter's Widow to be Released on Bail
[AnNahar] A U.S. federal judge in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, on Wednesday agreed to release on bail the widow of the gunman who killed dozens of people at an Orlando nightclub last year.

U.S. magistrate Donna Ryu set bail at $500,000 for Noor Salman pending her trial on two charges related to the assault by her husband Omar Mateen
... the Afghan-"American" who decided he was a soldier of the Caliphate and shot fifty unarmed people to death in a Florida gay bar he used to frequent...
on the Pulse gay nightclub in Florida that killed 49 people.

Prosecutors had argued that Salman, who was tossed in the clink
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
in January in connection with the massacre, should be kept behind bars because she posed a threat to society. They have until Friday to appeal the judge's decision.
She's also a flight risk no matter how much bail she posts.
In handing down her ruling, Ryu said there was no proof Salman had any connection to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
jihadist group or had exhibited myrmidon views.

She also said there was no evidence Salman posed a risk of flight or a danger to the community.

"I agree with the pretrial service recommendation and find that Ms Salman has rebutted the presumptions of both risk of flight and danger to the community and that she can and should be released pursuant to strict conditions that will reasonably mitigate those risks," Ryu said.

She ordered the 30-year-old, who had a four-year-old son with Mateen, to wear an electronic monitor while living with her maternal uncle in northern California, where she grew up.

The ruling essentially puts Salman under house arrest, allowed to leave only for court appearances, to meet her attorneys or for medical appointments for her and her son, Ryu said.

Salman, whose case is being prosecuted in Florida, faces up to life in prison if convicted of the charge of assisting her husband in his bid to help a terrorist organization.

She also faces up to 20 years in prison on the second charge of lying to Sherlocks.

Police killed Mateen in a shootout. During the attack, he had called dispatchers to pledge allegiance to the Islamic State group.
