Closing Arguments In Noor Salman's Case Begin Today

Shortly after convening Thursday, the jury asked about the meaning of "willful" and for an example of aiding and abetting. The judge refused to give the panel an example but did explain the meaning of "willful" for them. They only asked that one question all day.
Prosecutors said Salman and Mateen scouted out potential targets together — including Disney World's shopping and entertainment complex — and she knew he was buying ammunition for his AR-15 in preparation for a jihadi attack.
In the hours after the shooting, she lied to the FBI about the number of guns her husband had and his internet use, which included watching beheadings and visiting Islamic State group websites.
Defense attorneys described Salman, who was born in California to Palestinian parents, as a simple woman with a low IQ. She was abused by her husband, who cheated on her with other women and concealed much of his life from her, they said.
Jurors will resume deliberations Friday.
