The court held two sessions. In the first session, the judge angrily shouted down requests by defense lawyers for more time to review the prosecutions case. In the second session, the judge barred defense lawyers from even entering the courtroom. We didnt have the chance to say a word or to look at more than 3,000 pages of investigation to see what evidence they are talking about, attorney Khaled el-Koumi told The Associated Press. A senior official involved in courtroom security, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that 154 defendants were in the courtroom in a cage, and upon hearing the verdict, screamed at the judge “You butcher!” The rest of the defendants were tried in absentia.
