Salman Rushdie's alleged assailant won't see author's private notes before trial
MAYVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — Author Salman Rushdie does not have to turn over private notes about his stabbing to the man charged with attacking him, a judge ruled Thursday, rejecting the alleged assailant’s contention that he is entitled to the material as he prepares for trial. Hadi Matar’s lawyers in February subpoenaed Rushdie and publisher Penguin Random House for all source material related to Rushdie’s recently published memoir: “Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder,” which details the 2022 attack at the Chautauqua Institution. Public Defender Nathaniel Barone said the material he sought contained information not available anywhere else. “You could obtain it from the book,” Chautauqua County Judge David Foley told Barone during arguments Thursday, before ruling the request too broad and burdensome. Additionally, the judge said, Rushdie and the publisher are covered by New York’s Shield law, which protects journalists from being forced to disclose confidential sources or material. Requiring Rushdie to hand over personal materials “would have the net effect of victimizing Mr. Rushdie a second time,” Elizabeth McNamara, an attorney for Penguin Random House, said in asking that the subpoenas be quashed.

Police Respond to Bomb Threat from Vehicle in Downtown Fredonia
A bomb threat caused a portion of East Main Street in downtown Fredonia to shut down for approximately two hours Thursday morning. Fredonia Police report that their officers received a 911 call at about 8:00 AM reporting that an occupant of a parked vehicle at Crosby's convenience store was using a shotgun to honk the vehicle's horn while sitting in the backseat. Officers approached a red SUV that had towels and blankets hung from inside the vehicle blocking their view inside. They removed an adult male and female who were occupying the backseat area; they both allegedly claimed that a bomb was inside. Several additional law enforcement agencies responded to the scene and helped evacuate the immediate area. The scene was rendered safe after a thorough search of the vehicle by bomb technicians from the Chautauqua and Cattaraugus County Sheriff's Office Hazardous Device Units and a Chautauqua County Sheriff's K-9 unit. Fredonia Police add that a pellet/BB gun was being used to honk the vehicle's horn, and that there was no shotgun located in the vehicle. Charges will follow pending an investigation involving the Chautauqua County District Attorney's Office.
