The arson occurred in 2001. Very few (if any) places keep video records for 6 years. Where were you on the night of May 21, 2001? Can you prove it? This is actually a frightening case for anybody. The prosecutor's had conflicting testimony from participants who were testifying to get reduced sentences and absolutely no physical evidence, while the defense had evidence showing that their client was not near the scene of the crime. Yet they scared the jury into convicting by using the idea that she was a member of a terrorist plot.
If this can happen to a sympathetic middle class, white, American woman, imagine how hard it must be for a dark-skinned Muslim man to defend himself against charges of terrorism?
