Crowd reacts outside Mubarak trial

Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was transported in a hospital bed to a Cairo courtroom, Aug. 3, 2011, to face charges of corruption and complicity in the killing of protesters. The spectacle, aired live on state television, was a stunning moment for Egyptians.
A crowd of Mubarak supporters and hundreds of relatives of slain protesters and other Mubarak opponents massed at the gates, scuffling sporadically as they watched the proceedings on a giant screen.

Mohammed Abdel Fattah holds up the bloodsoaked clothes he says his 9-year-old son was wearing when he was shot to death in police crossfire.

Hassan Mohammed, Fattah's son, was riding home in a taxi with his father when a random bullet from the security forces entered through his back and came out of his chest.

Fattah said that he hopes that the former president will be "hanged like Saddam Hussein."

Anti-Mubarak demonstrators danced in celebration as they saw their former president in a prisoner's cage.

The opposing sides exchanged fighting words, rocks and blows before riot police intervened.

Shaima, who didn't give her last name, said, "We are here to support President Mubarak. We love him. He is innocent."

Anti-Mubarak demonstrators waved currency at the loyalists, suggesting that they were bought.

Riot police commanders order their officers to rise from the ground. Many were exhausted from standing for many hours in the hot August sun.
