"Certainly, if convicted for the crime of killing protesters, it could result in the death sentence," he said.

 

Mubarak, who is hospitalized in Sharm el-Sheikh, is questions at his sickbed. According to Cairo's justice minister, the only person capable of pardoning Mubarak would be the new president.

 

 

 

"If I were the president, I will not pardon him for killing 800 martyrs," al-Guindi said.
