Noor Salman, 31, began sobbing with joy when she was found not guilty of charges of obstruction and providing material support to a terrorist organization, WKMG reported. Salman was married to Omar Mateen when he attacked the Pulse nightclub. Attorney Charles Swift argued there was no way Salman knew that Mateen would attack the Pulse nightclub because even he didn’t know he would attack it until moments before the shooting. In the statement, Salman said over “the last two years, Omar talked to me about jihad.”She claimed her husband didn’t use the internet in their home, but he did, prosecutors said. Salman also advised Mateen to lie to his mother when she inquired about his whereabouts on the night of the shooting, prosecutors said.
