So today, Salman Rushdie testified in the trial of a man who is accused of trying to murder him.
00:07
His testimony was very even-tempered, even-keeled, very articulate.
00:12
His memories, even as he acknowledged the traumatic setting of what happened,
00:18
a couple of times he even found moments to make a joke.
00:23
His eye had been stabbed to the point where he can't see out of it anymore,
00:27
and he referred to having surgery on that eye in which they had to seal it shut,
00:32
and he talked about how painful it was,
00:34
and then he kind of smiled and turned to the jury and said,
00:37
I don't recommend it.
00:39
The cross-examination was very brief.
00:42
It was very mild.
00:44
The defense attorney even was relatively polite,
00:48
at one point even a little bit starstruck.
00:51
As much as you could challenge him,
00:53
he tried to kind of question whether he really could remember it all very well.
00:58
Was he too traumatized to remember it well?
01:01
And this is something he kind of pushed back on,
01:04
and his memories were quite clear.
01:07
If there was something he didn't remember precisely, he would say so.
01:11
It should be noted this is the first time that he was in the same room
01:16
as the man accused of trying to kill him.
01:19
There was no indication of them acknowledging the other.
