Ousted president Hosni Mubarak could face a verdict for graft charges and killing protesters during Saturday's session. Follow Ahram Online's blow-by-blow account for updates on this historic trial 8:30 Good morning. It's all talk of Mubarak and the trial this Saturday morning, as the ousted strongman, who governed Egypt for 30 years before a popular uprising toppled him last year, will hear a verdict today on whether he is guilty of corruption and complicity in the killing of protesters. Mubarak has not yet arrived at the court. Thus far, Mubarak's two sons, Gamal and Alaa, have arrived at the Police Academy's criminal court to hear the verdict of their trial. The two are being tried along with former minister of interior Habib El-Adly and six of his aides as well as Mubarak. The ousted leader has been held in the International Medical Centre since the trial began last August. He is expected to be flown to the academy within an hour. Today's historic trial sees Mubarak face two separate charges: the first, for ordering the killing of protesters. Former minister of interior Habib El-Adly and six of his aides are also charged for the same crime. Mubarak and his two sons are further charged for taking bribes from fugitive Egyptian businessman Hussein Salem. Yasmine Walli, Ahram Online's reporter at the scene, says that there are hundreds of army and Central Security Forces (CSF) securing the court. Several tanks are also positioned in front of the court. Protesters, who arrived early in front of the court, have been chanting against Mubarak, calling for justice for the martyrs of the revolution and demanding the execution of Mubarak. Anti-Mubarak groups are also holding posters of some of the demonstrators, who died during the 18-day uprising in January 2011. Pro-Mubarak groups, which are usually present during the sessions of Mubarak's trial have not showed up yet.
