Egyptian court sentences ousted President Mohammed Morsi to death
An Egyptian court on Saturday sentenced ousted President Mohammed Morsi to death over his part in a mass prison break that took place during the 2011 uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak.
As is customary in passing capital punishment, Judge Shaaban el-Shami referred his death sentence on Morsi and others to the nation’s top Muslim theologian, or mufti, for his non-binding opinion. He set June 2 for the next hearing.
Morsi, Egypt’s first freely elected president, was ousted by the military in July 2013 following days of mass street protests by Egyptians demanding that he be removed because of his divisive policies.

From Israel Today in 2013:
But who else could the trial uncover as co-conspirators?
“Potentially the US administration, the European Union…and others,” warned Ramelah. “With the expected court examination of tape recordings and documents, Morsi’s backers and supporters will be exposed unless back room deals are brokered in advance.”
Ramelah said one of the suspicions the evidence could confirm is that the Obama Administration gave $8 billion to the Muslim Brotherhood to establish a Hamas presence in Sinai.
Another known incident the court will surely focus on is the recent delegation of US Senators who tried to pressure Egypt’s interim government into releasing Morsi and reinstalling him as president.
Egyptians initially had nothing but appreciation for America’s backing of their pro-democracy revolution that toppled former President Hosni Mubarak. But when Obama then turned around and “aided the Muslim Brotherhood rise to power,” said Ramelah, the US began to be viewed as a foreign conspirator against the interests of Egyptians.

I have a dream that one day, the people responsible for destroying the republic will have to answer in a court of law. And at that time, no “Supreme Court” will be able to circumvent the law.

he looks like the double of monkey Oboma, must be from the same tribe.
As in Egypt, so let it be with America -- that we should have a former pResident who sits on Death Row.
I have a dream that one day soon, politicians, bankers, corporate oligarchs, and union bosses will hang from lamp-posts nationwide, and that the platforms from which they are pushed will be built up with the bodies of their thugs and apparatchiks, already dispatched.
I have a dream…
…and the will to bring it into being.

I do wonder if he spills the beans about the western powers orchestrating the arab spring and overthrow Mubarek in favor of the muslim brotherhood.
While muslim jihadists love their 72 virgins -- I seriously doubt that this coward is ready to die for the cause; that is reserved for the little dumb foot soldiers.
