A jury found Noor Salman, the widow of Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, not guilty of providing support to a terrorist organization and obstructing justice Friday morning.
She was facing life in prison if convicted of the crimes.
Salman was arrested in January 2017, six months after her husband murdered 49 individuals and injured dozens more at the Orlando nightclub. Mateen’s attack was the deadliest terror attack carried out on United States soil since 9/11.
After being taken into custody, Salman reportedly said in a signed statement that she was aware of Mateen’s plans prior to the attack.
