Egypt's former president sentenced to death

from CNN
former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy was sentenced to death Saturday in a Cairo court. He had been convicted in a 2011 prison break.
Morsy's name will be passed to the Grand Mufti, along with those of more than 100 other defendants, for the confirmation of the death sentence on June 2. The Grand Mufti is the highest legal authority in Egypt.
This was the harshest sentence that Morsy could have expected to receive in the case. He will be able to appeal the sentence.
The leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, and a former parliament speaker, Mohamed Saad El-Katatny, were also referred to the Grand Mufti in the jailbreak case.
