The New Jersey man convicted of stabbing author Salman Rushdie on a New York lecture stage in 2022 has been sentenced to serve 25 years in prison. Hadi Matar was sentenced Friday in a western New York courtroom, where a jury found him guilty earlier this year of attempted murder and assault. The 27-year-old stabbed Rushdie multiple times, blinding him in one eye, as the author was about to speak at the Chautauqua Institution. Matar next faces a federal trial on terrorism-related charges. Although the first trial focused mostly on the details of the knife attack itself, the next one is expected to delve into the more complicated issue of motive.
