Kadisha Abdullah (Anna Khaja) is the main villainess from Conviction episode 1.03, "Dropping Bombs" (airdate October 17, 2016). She is the wife of a beloved imam who was killed (along with three others) in his mosque when it was bombed on September 11, 2011 (the 10th anniversary of 9/11).
Rodney Landon, a known anti-Muslim bigot, was convicted of the crime, and his xenophobic conduct didn't help his case. During her interview with Hayes Morrison, Kadisha spoke fondly of her husband, but as the investigation progressed, her demeanor as a grieving widow was revealed as a front for her role as a villainess, as it was later uncovered that Kadisha was the actual bomber.
Kadisha had found out that her husband had been cheating on her with numerous young women that he had been mentoring, and after this, Kadisha turned heel and planned to kill him in an act of revenge. In her murderous plot, the evil Kadisha discovered Landon's instructions for building a particular bomb and used them to build the bomb she would later use to blow up the mosque. After Hayes' crew found video of Kadisha carrying the bomb in a large purse on the day of the bombing, they searched Kadisha's home for the bag, which was in the closet. Kadisha was later arrested.
