AI Summary:
Jury selection was set to begin for the trial of Hadi Matar. Matar repeatedly stabbed the 77-year-old novelist in the face, neck and abdomen. The attack resulted in the loss of his right eye and damage to his liver. The author was forced into a decade of hiding in 1989 when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini called for him to be killed. That provoked a storm of protest across the Western world in support of free speech. Prosecutors in the trial have said jurors likely will not hear about the fatwa, saying presenting a motive is unnecessary.
