An Egyptian court has ordered a retrial in the only outstanding conviction against former President Hosni Mubarak.<br /><br /> He was found guilty in May of stealing public money to renovate several private residences, and sentenced to three years in jail, which he has been serving in a military hospital.<br /><br /> The retrial means he may walk free, as there are no other convictions against him, although it is unclear if he will remain in custody until the retrial.<br /><br /> It is the latest legal victory for the former strongman. In November a court found him innocent of conspiring to kill protesters during the 2011 unrest that toppled him, and two corruption cases.
