Hosni Mubarak received a life sentence from a court in Cairo today after being charged in connection with the killing of protesters during last year's uprising. The uprising pushed Mubarak to resign last year after nearly 30 years of power.

NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson reports Mubarak's sons, Gamal and Alaa, were acquitted of corruption charges because the time limit had expired. Former interior minister Habib el-Adly received the same sentence as Mubarak. The Associated Press has a breakdown of all the charges and verdicts in the case.
