Pulse nightclub shooter's wife to stand trial in Orlando
2017-12-07
[FoxNews] The wife of Omar Mateen,
...the America-born Afghan-American known wolf who loved every jihadi group he read about and was a regular at the gay bar he shot up. Despite having the attention of the FBI for several years, he was licensed as an armed security guard. For amusement he beat his first wife until she divorced him, then took up the hobby with the one about to stand trial...
the gunman who killed 49 people at an Orlando nightclub last year in the name of ISIS, will stand trial in the Florida city, a judge ordered Wednesday.

Noor Salman’s
...the pretty Palestinian-American who fell for the wrong man, then didn’t get out...
attorneys had filed a motion in September to have her trial moved to another city, claiming that media coverage of her husband’s attack and remarks from Orlando Police Chief John Mina wouldn’t allow her to have a fair trial, according to WESH.

Salman has been charged with providing material support to a terror organization and obstruction of justice, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Salman’s husband, Mateen, killed 49 people and wounded almost 70 others when he opened fire at Pulse nightclub on June 12, 2016 in one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history.

The gay bar on the night of the shooting was packed with more than 300 people. Mateen called 911 when he was pulling off the attack to pledge his allegiance to ISIS, and was shouting “Allahu akbar” while engaging officers, law enforcement sources told Fox News around the time of the attack.

Salman knew about her husband's plan before the shooting and how he pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terror group, prosecutors said. She shopped with her husband the night before the attack when he bought five containers of ammunition, a source close to the investigation told Fox News.

The judge’s order quoted a U.S. Supreme Court ruling which said, “prominence of media coverage does not necessarily produce prejudicing and juror impartiality does not require ignorance,” WESH reported.

Salman’s trial is scheduled for March 1.

#2  Perhaps if the Boston Marathon had been an LGBT sort of event, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev might also be facing a trial.
