CAIRO — Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was sentenced Saturday to life in prison for corruption and murder nearly 16 months after his ouster - an outcome that marked a first for deposed Arab dictators but still left many unsatisfied.
State television showed Mubarak wearing sunglasses and lying on a hospital bed as he was wheeled into a criminal courtroom inside Egypt's Police Academy. He has been held at a hospital in the Sinai resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh since last year.
