なぜwoundなのでしょうか。これはwind (動詞で巻き取る）の過去形だと思います。私はエジプトの裁判制度に詳しくありませんが、恐らく下級から上級まであると思います。元大統領の死刑判決なので、当然最高法廷での判決でしょう。windだと、下級審への差し戻しを意味するのでは無いでしょうか。
実際は同級法廷での再審で、更にretrialが使われているので、ますます不適切だと思います。
また、このaquitを使った例文は、私の辞書では
jury aquit
sb is aquitted
の二種類しかありません。
該当文の
court ... by aquitting sb
は、どう訳するのでしょうか。

Hundreds of Egyptians have protested in Cairo against a court ruling that dropped murder charges against former president Hosni Mubarak. He had been accused in the deaths of anti-government protestors during the 2011 pro-democracy uprising.
The deposed president was charged with giving orders to kill demonstrators and other accusations after being ousted during the Arab Spring uprising.
Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison in 2012. But the case was retried at the request of both prosecutors and defense lawyers.
The court on Saturday wound up the retrial by effectively acquitting the former president of the charges.
The local media says about 1,000 young people protested the court decision in Cairo, the Egyptian capital. Protests were also staged in the northern cities of Alexandria and Mansurah.
Reuters and AFP report casualties in Cairo during clashes with security forces, who forcibly broke up the protest with tear gas.
Demonstrations are expected to spread, as the court's decision is seen as a sign of restoring the government's high-handed approach.
More than 800 people died in clashes with security forces 3 years ago. Authorities have been clamping down on pro-democracy activists and Islamic movements since the military ousted Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in a de facto coup last year.
wind up = ～という結果に終わる ～ということで終わる
下級審への差し戻しとはどこにも書いておりませんが、retrial = 再審 ということなので、再度裁判を行ったということでしょう。
記事によれば検察・弁護士双方が控訴していた様ですね。
wind up the retrial by effectively acquitting A で Aを無罪放免ということで最新を結審させた という意味になります。
より自然な日本語では A が無罪という形で再審は結審した となるのではないでしょうか。
