Prosecutors had accused Noor Salman of obstructing justice and helping her husband, Omar Mateen, plan the 2016 attack that left 50 people, including Mateen, dead.
A federal judge denied the defense team's motion for a mistrial Monday. Noor Salman's lawyers had that argued prosecutors withheld key details, including Seddique Mateen's past connections to the FBI.
Prosecutors say Noor Salman assisted the 2016 rampage at Pulse nightclub and misled police. Her attorneys, however, say she was a "simple woman" who was abused by him and coerced by law enforcement.
Early Monday morning, a fire broke out at the Florida mosque where Omar Mateen worshipped. Police say the fire was "set intentionally," and they say surveillance footage shows someone at the site.
Desperate calls from inside the Pulse nightclub; authorities' concerns; reports of wounded civilians: those are among the new details in records released by the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Victims called 911 as they heard and saw Omar Mateen shooting inside. The newly released records show Mateen holed up in the bathroom shortly after he started firing. Dispatchers counted the gunshots.
Amanda Alvear was killed at Pulse nightclub. A week later, on Father's Day, her dad is still grieving for the daughter he lost. But despite his sadness, Daniel Alvear says he forgives the shooter.
The shooting in Orlando cut deep through the gay and Latino communities. NPR's Rachel Martin talks to Xorje Olivares, Miriam Zoila Perez and Veronica Bayetti Flores about how the losses affected them.
