Ousted Egyptian Leader Morsi's Trial Begins
(AP-CBS News) The trial of Egypt's deposed Islamist president Mohammed Morsi and 14 others charged with inciting murder adjourned soon after it started on Monday because the defendants' chants were disrupting the proceedings. There was a two-hour delay in the start of the proceedings caused by Morsi's insistence not to change into the prison uniform customarily worn by defendants, part of his refusal to recognize the trial's legitimacy. It was Morsi's first public appearance since his ouster on July 3.
