Egypt's deposed president Mohammed Morsi has told a court he is the country's "legitimate" leader and it has no jurisdiction to try him.
The trial in Cairo was then adjourned until January 8 to allow defence lawyers to review documents. It was Morsi's first public appearance since the military coup that ousted him on July 3.
Since he was ousted Morsi has been held at a secret military location. He was flown by helicopter to the trial venue - a police academy in an eastern district of Cairo.
If convicted, Morsi and 14 other defendants in the case could face the death penalty.
