Noor Salman, the widow of Pulse nightclub gunman Omar Mateen, was acquitted on Friday of federal charges that she tried to obstruct investigators and aided her husband in the attack that killed 49 people in 2016.

The jury reached its decision in U.S. District Court after roughly 12 hours of deliberation since Wednesday.

Salman, 31, could have faced up to life in prison had she been convicted of federal charges of obstruction of justice and aiding Mateen in the attack on a nightclub in Florida.

Mateen, died in an exchange of gunfire with police at the scene of the massacre, the Pulse nightclub in Florida.
