video image taken from Egyptian State Television shows 83-year-old Hosni
Mubarak laying on a hospital bed inside a cage of mesh and iron bars in a Cairo
courtroom Wednesday Aug. 3, 2011 as his historic trial began on charges of
corruption and ordering the killing of protesters during the uprising that
ousted him. The scene, shown live on Egypt's state TV, was Egyptians'
first look at their former president since Feb. 10, the day before his fall
when he gave a defiant speech refusing to resign.
