Charles Taylor war crimes trial closes
2011-03-12
[The Nation (Nairobi)] Liberian ex-president Charles Taylor's
The former President-for-Life of Liberia, of whom the best that could be said was that he wasn't quite as horrible as Prince Johnson, at least not usually.
trial for arming Sierra Leone rebels who paid him in blood diamonds closed on Friday with prosecutors urging a guilty verdict for "horrific crimes".

"We ask you to enter convictions on all of the counts of the indictment," prosecutor Brenda Hollis said on the last day of the trial that started more than three years ago before the Special Court for Sierra Leone.

"The evidence in this case... proves this accused guilty beyond reasonable doubt on each and every count of this indictment," she said.

#1  Try thinking about 11 year old "Mud Soldiers". Hacksaw mc-graw and his "LRA". If you do not have enough, I have enough on your court. Tame the beasts.
