Photo montage with the nasheed playing in the background
Conrad described a montage pairing a nasheed with religious imagery, a photograph of the defendant, and bombing devastation, and argued that it inflamed religious or ethnic prejudice. Chakravarty said the combination presented evidence of the defendant's state of mind and radicalization. The court found the argument not improper and permitted preservation of the montage in the record.
About
The government defended the montage as an argument about the defendant's state of mind and radicalization, while the defense alleged religious or ethnic prejudice. The court found the radicalization argument not improper, denied the mistrial motion, and allowed preservation of the montage.
