The New Jersey man charged with stabbing author Salman Rushdie at the Chautauqua Institution in 2022, was found guilty of attempted murder today after an eight-day trial.
27-year-old Hadi Matar is guilty of the August 2022 stabbing that left the author blind in one eye.
Sentencing will be set at a later date and a trial on the federal terrorism-related charges has yet to be scheduled in U.S. District Court in Buffalo.
