Egypt hires lawyer for USF student facing explosives charges

TAMPA, Florida — Egypt's government may be hiring a prominent Tampa lawyer to represent an Egyptian college student facing explosives charges.

John Fitzgibbons is best known as the attorney who kept teacher Debra LaFave out of prison after she had sex with a middle-school student. He says he is in talks with the Egyptian embassy in Washington and likely will be hired to represent suspended University of South Florida student Ahmed Mohamed.
