Egyptian Court Overturns Mubarak's Graft Conviction and Orders Retrial, In Latest Sleight to 'Arab Spring'

``An appeals court on Tuesday overturned the conviction of former President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt on charges of corruption, removing the last legal judgment against him and ordering a retrial... even before the new court ruling, Mr. Mubarak had already spent enough time in detention -- more than the three-year sentence for corruption that was overturned on Tuesday -- to allow his release for time served... His release... could pose an unprecedented challenge to Egypt's new president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi... Mr. Mubarak could begin publicly defending his tenure, criticizing Mr. Sisi's policies, rallying his former loyalists in politics and government, and weighing in on parliamentary candidates -- any of which could prove awkward for the current president.''
