Noor Salman, wife of Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, is set to stand trial in federal court on Thursday. The judge dismissed her in part because he feared she would be sleep deprived taking care of her new baby. Once a jury is selected, the trial could last five weeks, Byron said.

The jury members will not be sequestered together.

The trial could take a month. At the end of they day, they will taken back to the undisclosed location and return home from there.

Jury selection is scheduled to begin in the trial of the widow of the gunman who police say killed dozens at a Florida nightclub.

Among those who attended the hearing was Pulse owner Barbara Pomo.

In order for Salman to be convicted of the terrorism charge, prosecutors will have to prove she knew her late husband, Omar Mateen, planned to attack the nightclub and that she helped him. She's the only other person charged in the June 2016 attack which killed 49 people and faces life in prison if she is found guilty.

Salman was present for the proceedings, as were Pulse family members and survivors. Nothing less, ' the man, Bob Kunst, told the Orlando Sentinel.

"If some of those great people that were in the club that night had guns strapped to their waist or strapped to their ankle, and if the bullets were going in the other direction, aimed at this guy who was just open target practice, you would've had a situation folks, which would have been always awful, but nothing like the carnage that we all as a people suffered this weekend".

Salman faces charges of aiding the support of a foreign terrorist organization resulting in death.

Mateen called 911 from the club to pledge his allegiance to the Islamic State and other Islamic extremist groups. She was arrested in California in 2017, where she was staying with family, and has been in jail since. She denies the claim.

According to recently released documents, Salman's attorneys may attempt to paint their client as the victim in this case. A nurse and a psychologist who evaluated Salman said she was physically abused by her husband and was afraid to question him about the attack. The defense plans to counter that with an expert on false confessions.
