Noor Salman trial: Potential jurors weigh challenge of deciding fate of Pulse gunman's widow
"The jury pool in Noor Salmans trial has at least 30 people in it after the fourth day of jury selection for Pulse gunman Omar Mateens widow.
U.S. District Judge Paul Byron has said he wants about 58 prospective jurors before attorneys narrow it down to 12 jurors and six alternates who will hear the case...
Over the trials first four days, potential jurors have faced questions on a variety of topics, from their feelings about the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, to their views on guns and knowledge of the massacre at Pulse....

Defying Evidence, Pulse Shooter Widow Claims Omar Mateen Didn't Target Gays
"Defense attorneys say theres no way to know if Omar Mateen targeted the LGBT community when he attacked the Pulse nightclub in Orlando and instigated one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history. Attorneys for the dead shooters wife have asked a judge to prohibit federal prosecutors from suggesting that motive for the massacre, and say Mateens phone records show evidence to the contrary....
Swifts motion says prosecutors should not be allowed to say Mateen targeted the gay community because he also visited Disney Springs near Walt Disney World the evening of the attack and loaded directions in his phone to EVE Orlando, a high-end lounge that does not specifically cater to LGBT attendees.
Salmans legal team says data obtained from Mateens cell phone indicates he had no firm plans to go to Pulse...."

Ten more people were added to that pool, from which the actual jury will be impaneled, Tuesday....

The judge has said he believes jury selection is on target to be completed by the end of the week, or early next week, and that testimony will begin by or before March 14..."

If I were on the jury, given the evidence presented I couldn't vote her guilty. (JMHO)
Let's see if I guess this one right? I got the Casey Anthony verdict correct. I got the George Zimmerman verdict correct. Maybe I'll get this wrong?

Two years after one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern-American history, a former police officer suffering from PTSD after being one of the first to the massacre scene at Pulse nightclub still does not have pension benefits he was told he'd receive.
Omar Delgado was let go from the Eatonville Police Department in December 2017 due to his struggles with PTSD.
Why do many Central Florida high-profile trials end in acquittals?
Casey Anthony, George Zimmerman, Noor Salman all found not guilty
