The trial of former President Hosni Mubarak will continue into February, delaying a verdict until after the anniversary of the uprising against Mubarak that began last year on 25 January.
The court on Tuesday adjourned the trial to 17 January, after which it will hold daily sessions until 16 February.
Plaintiff lawyers continued to provide the court with evidence they said implicated the former president.
Mubarak, former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly and six of Adly's assistants face charges of involvement in killing protesters during the 25 January revolution.
Mubarak, his sons Alaa and Gamal, and businessman Hussein Salem are being tried on corruption charges. Adly was convicted of money laundering and fraud in May.
In his plea to the court, lawyer and human rights activist Sayyed Fathy demanded the court issue its sentence on behalf of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives on the behalf of the Egyptian people.
The lawyer praised the public prosecution's effort in the case and accused the Interior Ministry of conspiring to obfuscate the evidence presented to the court by, among other things, destroying CDs.
Fathy said Mubarak had the authority, in addition to his duty to safeguard the interests of the Egyptian people, to make major security decisions. He committed a grave mistake by ordering the killing of protesters rather than refraining from using violence against them, the lawyer said.
Fathy said Mubarak's speeches to the Egyptian people during the uprising against him were condescending and did not provide any consolation to Egyptians despite the hundreds of deaths nationwide.
