Judge says Hadi Matar, who pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charge after Rushdie was stabbed on stage in 2022, is entitled to see manuscript for trial preparation
The trial of the man charged with stabbing Salman Rushdie on stage in 2022 may be delayed because of plans to publish the writer’s memoir about the incident.
On 2 January, Chautauqua county judge David Foley said in a pretrial conference that accused attacker Hadi Matar is entitled to see the memoir manuscript and any related materials as part of trial preparation, AP reported. The jury selection is due to begin on 8 January.
