Taylor, during jury selection in a federal court in the Brooklyn borough of New York. Pugh, a U.S. Air Force veteran and former airplane mechanic charged with trying to join the Islamic State group, was convicted by the jury Wednesday, March 9, 2016. A federal appeals court has upheld a U.S. Air Force veteran's conviction on terrorism charges for trying to join the Islamic State group and die a martyr. But the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2019 said Tairod Pugh should be resentenced so a judge can explain why he gave him the maximum 35-year prison sentence.
