Jury selected for Pulse Shooters Widow, Noor Salman

Orlando, Fla. — A 12 person jury along with 6 alternates were selected Monday for the federal trial of Noor Salman, who is accused of helping her husband in the June 2016 Pulse nightclub massacre.

After dozens of people were questioned individually for more than seven days during jury selection for the trial of the United States vs Noor Salman is ready to begin.

Salman is accused of obstructing justice, and aiding and abetting her husband in support of a terrorist group, the Islamic State. If convicted, she could face life in prison.

Prosecutors are asking the judge to allow jurors to hear portions of the 911 calls made from hostages from inside a bathroom at Pulse. Prosecutors said the calls provide some of the only evidence of what happened inside the club that night. They believe the calls are relevant to demonstrate the nature and scope of the attack.
