Death sentence for Mubarak

In the case against Hosni Mubarak the prosecution demanded the maximun penalty for death which is death by hanging for he, his two sons, and the former interior minister. The four accused face charges ranging from corruption to involvement in the deaths of around 850 protesters during the uprising that ended Mubarak's three decades in power. The former president stepped down on Feb. 11 and the military took over. The judge adjourned the trial until Jan. 9.
