"If you’re a free expression organization, if you believe in the value of free speech, then you must believe in the value of free speech that you don’t like. If you only defend free speech that conforms to your own moral framework that’s what is normally called censorship."

STORYLINE:
The New Jersey man charged with severely injuring author Salman Rushdie in a 2022 knife attack is standing trial in New York.

Lawyers are starting to pick a jury Tuesday for the trial of Hadi Matar in Chautauqua County Court.

Matar is charged with attempted murder and assault in the attack that happened as Rushdie took the stage for a discussion on writer safety.

He has pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor says jurors will hear from more than a dozen witnesses and will see video of the attack at the Chautauqua Institution.

Matar faces separate federal terrorism-related charges related to the assault.
