Morsi trial in Ittihadiya case delayed to Thursday

The Cairo Criminal Court adjourned till tomorrow the trial of ousted president Mohamed Morsi and 14 others charged with inciting the murder of demonstrators outside Cairo's Ittihadiya presidential palace late in 2012.
The postponement came to listen to the defense team.
Clashes broke out outside Ittihadiya Palace when Morsi issued a controversial constitutional declaration immunizing his decisions against challenge.
Morsi and his co-defendants – including several top Muslim Brotherhood leaders – are charged with inciting the murder of opposition demonstrators during clashes that broke out between Morsi's supporters and opponents outside Cairo's Ittihadiya presidential palace in late 2012.
Seven of the defendants are being tried in absentia.
