布鲁克林陪审团正在审议一名纽约女子的命运，该女子称自己在青少年时期被父亲欺骗前往叙利亚，并从未接受过她被刑事指控的伊斯兰国组织武器训练。
A Brooklyn jury is deliberating the fate of a New York woman who says she was tricked by her father into traveling to Syria and never underwent the weapons training with the Islamic State group that she has been criminally charged with.
拉里·诺伊迈斯特 这名纽约女子的命运掌握在布鲁克林陪审团手中，她称自己在青少年时期被父亲欺骗前往叙利亚并嫁给一名伊斯兰国组织成员。周四，她的律师恳请陪审团认定她从未接受过武器训练。
LARRY NEUMEISTER The fate of a New York woman who says she was tricked as a teenager by her father into traveling to Syria and marrying a member of the Islamic State group rests in the hands of the Brooklyn jury after her lawyer implored it on Thursday to find that she never received weapons training.
“判定她无罪，”米娅·艾斯纳-格林伯格在布鲁克林联邦法院对陪审团说道，此时她的当事人哈利马·萨尔曼用衣物擦去泪水，随后站起来拥抱了她的律师，此前艾斯纳-格林伯格进行了长达两小时的结案陈词。
“Find her not guilty,” Mia Eisner-Grynberg told a jury in Brooklyn federal court as he client, Halima Salman, used her clothing to wipe away tears before standing to hug her attorney after her two-hour summation.
艾斯纳-格林伯格的结案陈词引起了检方的反对，检方认为她言过其实，称政府在本案中的某些手段“可耻”。艾斯纳-格林伯格没有退让，告诉娜塔莎·C·默尔法官，没有规定要求她在为萨尔曼辩护时必须“客气”。
Eisner-Grynberg’s closing argument drew objections from prosecutors who thought she went too far when she called some of the government’s tactics in the case “shameful.”Eisner-Grynberg didn’t back down, telling Judge Natasha C. Merle that there was no rule that she must be “polite” as she argues on Salman’s behalf.
她说，萨尔曼17岁时，父亲未告知目的地就将她塞进一辆面包车，从土耳其开往叙利亚，面包车被持枪男子包围，随后她被关在一个房间里三个月，经常能听到附近炸弹爆炸的声音。
She said Salman was 17 when her father put her in a van without saying where they were going and drove her from Turkey into Syria, where the van was surrounded by men with guns before she was locked in a room for three months in a land where the sound of bombs striking nearby targets could frequently be heard.
这位律师说，十年来，萨尔曼“经历了地狱般的折磨”。一天前，助理美国检察官阿曼达·沙米将现年27岁的萨尔曼描绘为不诚实且善于操纵的人，因为她本周早些时候作证称，她在2018年从未接受过伊斯兰国组织的训练，那是她2017年至2019年在叙利亚期间的中途。
For a decade, the lawyer said, Salman had “been through hell and back.”A day earlier, Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Shami portrayed Salman, who is 27, as dishonest and manipulative when she testified earlier this week that she never underwent training with the Islamic State group in 2018, halfway through her time in Syria from 2017 to 2019.
“被告哈利马·萨尔曼在叙利亚期间，通过伊斯兰国的一个营接受了军事训练，”沙米在结案陈词中说道。
“The defendant, Halima Salman, received military training from ISIS while she was in Syria, through one of its battalions,” she said in her closing.
她说，萨尔曼（Salman）是一名美国公民，出生于布鲁克林。她曾宣誓效忠“伊斯兰国”（Islamic State），还曾给当时的丈夫发过一张自己的照片，照片背景是该组织的旗帜；她的丈夫还拍下了她使用突击步枪的画面（她接受过使用这种武器的训练）。陪审团观看了这段简短的视频。
She said Salman, a U.S. citizen who was born in Brooklyn, had pledged loyalty to the Islamic State and had sent her then-husband a photograph of her with the group’s flag behind her and had also been filmed by her husband with an assault rifle that she had been trained to use. Jurors were shown the brief video clip.
在整个为期两周的审判过程中，萨尔曼一直以保释身份自由活动，直到2024年5月在肯尼迪国际机场返回美国时才被逮捕。
Salman, who has remained free on bail throughout the two-week trial, was arrested in May 2024 at Kennedy International Airport when she returned to the United States.
沙米（Shami）批评了萨尔曼在证人席上的陈述——她声称在离开叙利亚之前婚姻关系就很糟糕，并且已经与她的丈夫（一名为“伊斯兰国”作战的成员）离婚了。检察官还出示了萨尔曼发给丈夫的两条充满爱意的短信作为证据。“她在证人席上的陈述完全不合逻辑，”沙米说。
Shami criticized Salman’s claims on the witness stand that her marriage was bad before she left Syria and divorced her husband, a fighter for the Islamic State group. The prosecutor cited two loving text messages Salman had sent to her husband. “Her statements on the stand don’t make sense,” she said.
然而艾斯纳-格林伯格（Eisner-Grynberg）表示，她的当事人本身就是证人；在她的世界被彻底颠覆之前，她曾是一名女童子军成员，学习缝纫和手工艺制作。她的父亲在2018年叙利亚的一场爆炸中受伤后去世。
But Eisner-Grynberg said her client was herself on the witness stand, someone who was in Girl Scouts studying sewing and craft making before her world was turned upside down by her father, who died after he was injured in a bombing in Syria in 2018.
艾斯纳-格林伯格认为，政府在她离开叙利亚后对她进行调查是合理的，但在未能找到可靠证据的情况下就不应该逮捕她。她指出，检察官未能找到任何能够证明萨尔曼接受过武器训练的人，也无法证明她对“伊斯兰国”组织有过任何实质性的支持。
Eisner-Grynberg said the government was right to investigate her client after her time in Syria but should not have arrested her after failing to find reliable evidence. She said prosecutors failed to find anyone who had seen her undergoing weapons training and could not show that Salman ever took a serious interest in the organization that was designated by the United States as a terror group.
“你们可以在五分钟后宣布她无罪，”艾斯纳-格林伯格对陪审团说，“没有任何证据表明萨尔曼接受过军事训练，也没有任何证据表明她支持‘伊斯兰国’组织。”
“You can come back here in 5 minutes with a not-guilty verdict,” Eisner-Grynberg told jurors, saying there was no proof at all that Salman had attended military training or that she supported the Islamic State group.
“整个案件纯粹是基于表面现象、推理和猜测而已，”她强调。她还质疑了检察官所称在萨尔曼前夫手机上发现的文件——检察官坚称这份文件证明了她接受过军事训练，但她指出这份文件上没有“伊斯兰国”组织的官方印章，而该组织的其他所有文件都带有这一印章。“这完全是一次严重的司法失误，”她对检方的说法表示愤慨。
“The entire case is just optics, inference and speculation,” she said, discounting a document prosecutors said they found on Salman’s ex-husband’s phone that they insisted proved she had received military training. Eisner-Grynberg noted that it lacked the Islamic State group’s stamp that is found on every other document of theirs. “This is a grave miscarriage of justice,” she said of the prosecution.
