Cairo (CNN) -- After a months-long break, the trial of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resumed Wednesday after an appeals court dismissed a motion to disqualify the presiding judge. The ailing Mubarak entered a Cairo court on a gurney, wearing a white defendant's jumpsuit. He is charged with ordering the killing of protesters to quash the uprising that ultimately ended his 30-year <a href="http://www.womenfashionbag.com/gucci-joy-medium-shoulder-bag-sand-guccissima-leather-p-19917.html"><strong>chanel mademoiselle bag</strong></a> rule in February. In addition, he faces corruption charges. Mubarak has pleaded not guilty. Former Egyptian Interior Minister Habib el-Adly, six of his aides and two of Mubarak's sons are also on trial on a variety of charges. Judge Ahmed Refaat returned as head of the court Wednesday. Lawyers representing families of dead or injured protesters had petitioned a higher court <a href="http://www.womenfashionbag.com/m63712m66542-p-18641.html"><strong>kanye west lv</strong></a> demanding a new panel of judges. "He did not allow many of them into the court and did not give them enough time to ask their questions," attorney Khaled Abu Bakr said, referring to Refaat. In their motion, the lawyers also objected to how some high-profile witnesses testified in secrecy. The appeals court rejected the motion to disqualify Refaat and fined the lawyers who filed the motion 1,000. Interior Ministry spokesman laa Mahmoud said 5,000 police officers were in charge of securing the trial Wednesday. In addition, 14 ambulances and a field clinic were set up outside the court in case clashes erupted between pro- and anti-Mubarak <a href="http://www.womenfashionbag.com/marc-jacobs-handbag-embossing-leather-off-white-p-18408.html"><strong>marc jacobs bag</strong></a> residents, Health Ministry spokesman Hisham Shiha said. About 840 people died and more than 6,000 were wounded in the 18 days of uprising that toppled Mubarak, according to Amnesty International.
