Egypt's Mubarak acquitted in final ruling on 2011 deaths
CAIRO -- Egypt's top appeals court has issued a final ruling that acquits former President Hosni Mubarak on charges of killing protesters during the 2011 uprising that ended his nearly three-decade reign.
The ruling by the Court of Cassation on Thursday upheld a previous verdict reached in 2014. Sitting in a wheelchair in the defendant's cage as the judge read out the charges against him, Mubarak responded "It did not happen."
