Noor Salman’s statements after the massacre at a gay nightclub — committed by her husband — indicate she knew exactly what was going to happen.

Hand-written statements, scrawled by an FBI agent but initialed at every paragraph by the Pulse shooter’s wife, show she’d seen warning signs. Noor Salman stopped letting her toddler sit with his father at the computer as Omar Mateen viewed jihadi videos of beheadings. She listened as he pondered aloud what would make people more upset, an attack on Downtown Disney or a dance club? And then there’s the time he drove around Pulse with Salman in the car for 20 minutes and stated, “How upset are people going to be when it gets attacked?”

The series of increasingly incriminating anecdotes indicate Salman knew not only that her husband might be involved in a terrorist attack but that she knew where it would take place and that he was likely on his way to committing murder when he left home the night before. Whether a jury believes these notes to be the confession of a mass murderer’s accomplice or the unreliable words of a wife in distress being coerced by law enforcement on a witch hunt could likely determine if Salman goes to prison for the rest of her life, convicted of aiding and abetting a terrorist and obstructing justice.
