From the Palm Beach Post Article covering this high profile case:
Ron Herman, an attorney who represented Muhammad, described the case against her as “fundamentally flawed . . . The government cannot explain why they believe Sarah Muhammad committed a crime or how she benefited in any way,” he said in his closing statement. After the verdicts were read, Muhammad walked out of the courtroom and embraced several family members. “Ms. Muhammad was looking forward to her day in court and we’re very pleased with the outcome,” Herman said.
