...Salman Rushdie?

I've missed any reports if there's already been a trail.

Or trial?

[sandyRoe]

Yes, a trial.

sandyRoe, just a reminder that serious questions should be posted in the more serious categories - leaving chatterbank free for the natter and nonsense it was designed for.  I'll ask the Ed to move this to a more appropriate section.

According to todays Telegraph the trial is later this year.

I didn't realise the incident was 2 years ago 

[sandyRoe]

That's a long time to be on remand.

I hope he gets a sentence that gives him time to reflect on his crime.

o god Sandy - booted out because of rank stinking  un-mimsiness. 

My first wonder was what his medical bill was gonna be - - chatauque  -  aint cheap (my eye was hanging down my cheek like a boiled egg). 

so rough now that he may come back to London
