Charles Taylor Defense Tries To Stall Naomi Campbell Testimony

Posted at 08/02/2010 by 0 Comment

There’s another turn in the Naomi Campbell / Charles Taylor “blood diamond” case.

Here’s the latest from USA Today:

The defense in the war crimes trial of former Liberian President Charles Taylor is seeking to postpone testimony this week by supermodel Naomi Campbell, a motion released Monday shows.

Campbell has been subpoenaed to appear in court Thursday after evading prosecution attempts to interview her about whether she received a rough diamond from Taylor after a celebrity-studded dinner party in South Africa in 1997. Prosecutors say her testimony will support their contention that Taylor lied when he testified that he never possessed so-called blood diamonds, those mined in a war zone where the proceeds finance an insurgency.
