Seventeen potential jurors were questioned in Noor Salman’s trial Monday, with seven of them staying in the jury pool and eight excused.
U.S. District Judge Paul Byron held off making decisions on two more jurors, who said they have to check with their work or their family to see if they will be able to sit through the three-week trial.
Salman, 31, is charged with aiding and abetting her husband, Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, and with obstruction of justice.
Some jurors were asked what they think about Muslims and Islam, and whether their views will impact their ability to judge Salman fairly.
