Egypt's Mubarak gets life in prison

Life sentence against Egypt's Mubarak caps fall from war hero to prison inmate.

Hosni Mubarak should have the pleasure of spending out the rest of his life in one of the prisons that he so often used for opponents, though he's more likely to have special conditions.

CNN:
Handing down the verdict before a packed courtroom, Refaat praised the revolution and said it offered people relief after living "in 30 years of dark without any hope."

While the judge found Mubarak guilty for his role in the killings, he cleared the deposed leader of corruption and misappropriation of funds.

Refaat also chose the lesser of two sentences. Mubarak could have received the death penalty.
