Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, accused of ordering protesters killed, could face a verdict before the end of the month, a lawyer involved in the trial said Monday.

Prosecutors will have three days to present their case starting Tuesday, followed by three days each for defense and civil rights lawyers, according to Khaled Abu Bakr, a civil rights lawyer representing families of the victims.

“I expect a verdict before January 25, the anniversary of the revolution,” the lawyer said, referring to the beginning of the uprising that ended Mubarak’s 30-year rule in February.

The former president also faces corruption charges. He has pleaded not guilty.

Mubarak was wheeled into court in a gurney Monday for a brief hearing that was described as “procedural,” to allow a judge to decide on specific requests presented by the lawyers during last weeks’ session, Abu Bakr said.
