Egypt court quashes Morsi life sentence

An Egyptian appeals court yesterday quashed one of two life sentences handed down to Mohamed Morsi since his 2013 overthrow, in the Islamist ex-president's second appeals victory in a week. The Court of Cassation, Egypt's highest appeals court, issued the verdict, Morsi's lawyer and a judicial official told AFP. The court ordered a retrial in the case, citing many legal flaws.
