A former member of the Irish Defense Forces has been found guilty of joining ISIS.

A Dublin court found Lisa Smith guilty of being a member of ISIS but acquitted her of a second allegation of assisting in funding the organization.

Justice Tony Hunt granted Smith, age 40, bail and scheduled a sentencing hearing for July 11.

From Dundalk, County Louth, Smith wiped away tears as Mr. Justice Hunt read the judgments.

The judge stated that it could not be determined beyond a reasonable doubt what Smith's aim was when she sent €800 ($858) to an ISIS member and that it could have been for charity or humanitarian purposes.

Smith was cleared of the accusation by Mr. Justice Hunt of the Special Criminal Court in Dublin, who stated "sufficient ambiguity" regarding the reasonable doubt.

Prosecutors recounted how Smith, a member of the Defense Forces from 2001 to 2011, converted to Islam in 2015 and then traveled to ISIS-controlled territory.

In his closing statement following a nine-week trial, prosecuting attorney Sean Gillane informed the non-jury court's three-judge that the "element of buyer's remorse" stated was not a defense.

Mr. Gillane stated, "Ms. Smith is not being prosecuted for believing in or following Islam, or for believing in a caliphate or a caliph."

"It is essential to oppose any attempt to confuse the terminology; she is being punished for her membership in a terrorist organization.

"It is not a simple or innocent act of travel or near presence at a place at an unfortunate time," Mr. Gillane said, adding that "buyer's remorse" is not a valid defense.

"The evidence indicates that Ms. Smith specifically addressed, evaluated, analyzed, and ultimately responded to the call to migrate to this ISIS-controlled area; this is the 'Hijrah' referred to in the context of the case."

In 2012, she made the Hajj to Makkah and announced her wish to live under Sharia and die as a martyr on an Islamic Facebook page.

She purchased a one-way ticket from Dublin to Turkey, crossed the border into Syria, and resided in Raqqa, the capital of ISIS's self-proclaimed caliphate, the court was informed.

Smith's defense attorney, Michael O'Higgins, told the court that the evidence demonstrated that his client had fully acknowledged before traveling to Syria that there was "no possibility" of her engaging in combat.

He stated that she felt she would move to Syria, marry, have a large family, and continue to "survive and prosper in Islam," preventing her from returning to Ireland with her tail between her legs.
