Those of us ensnared in litigation without end will surely feel a measure of sympathy and perhaps a dreadful portent in the manner of Mohamed Morsi's passing: He collapsed and died in court. I don't doubt that, as a group of British barristers found, the conditions in which he was held by his successor meet the definition of torture, and his various trials and re-trials were a joke. But, other than in his confinement and demise, he was not a sympathetic character, at least not to any non-Egyptians other than Turkish strongman Erdoğan, who hailed him as a "martyr".
Beyond Ankara Mr Morsi will be remembered as the dead end of the Arab Spring, in which the young saplings of "the Facebook Revolution" were soon choked by all the usual malign weeds of that arid land. From yours truly seven years ago:
How's that old Arab Spring going? You remember — the "Facebook Revolution." As I write, they're counting the votes in Egypt's presidential election, so by the time you read this the pecking order may have changed somewhat. But currently in first place is the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi, who in an inspiring stump speech before the students of Cairo University the other night told them, "Death in the name of Allah is our goal."

In second place is the military's man Ahmed Shafiq, Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister and a man who in a recent television interview said that "unfortunately the revolution succeeded."

In third place is moderate Islamist Abdel-Moneim Abolfotoh, a 9/11 Truther endorsed by the terrorist organization al-Gama'a al-Islamiya. He's a "moderate" because he thinks Egyptian Christians should be allowed to run for the presidency, although they shouldn't be allowed to win it.

“...surely feel a measure of sympathy...”
Let’s see...
Umm...
... searching...
wait...There it is...
Nope. No sympathy at all.
For later.

With the demise of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt the movement has moved its headquarters to Turkey. In reality, Erdogan has become the head pf the Ikhwan’s Guidance Council and thus of the movement itself.

That’s Hedley
