I too have seen folks who are older or younger than their age but there are several ways one can figure out if a person is young or very young. Voice maturity and behavior are just two of those means. Moreover, if you grew up in a particular culture, it does not take the knowledge of a ‘rocket scientist’ or developmental psychologist to figure out who is young or old. Does it?

Moreover, it would have been lunacy and risky on my part to ask a young lad for his age, when that young lad is tooting a weapon of destruction. Wouldn’t it? I guess the natural instinct will be to pray, obey orders, and observe. I guess some who tried to ask questions are no longer with us in this world.

On you suggestion, I guess the persecution as well as the defense have more witnesses than needed and I have no desire to testify in this case for the persecution or for anyone. As a victim and an observer of the senselessness, lawlessness, and brutality that visited my country, I am here simply sharing my story. And you are welcome to disagree!

Peace.

Then again to persecute Taylor for his role in Liberia will be pulling on a rope tied to a bush, as our people say. Yes this entire fanfare is a waste of money that could have been used to assist the Sierra People in thier process of reconstruction.

I have seen individual who are either older or younger then that age. Looks, I’ve being told is quite decieving and assumption is not a very good reflection of the person making it. Hope you had confirmed the fighter age, you would have been a great asset to the Persecution in convicting Taylor.

Are you telling us that the prosecution witnesses were on “perdeim”/perdiems? Could you please explain to the audience how that process works of the prosecution witnesses recieving a daily money? Who was giving/providing these perdiems to the prosecution witnesses?

All the charges that you have named against this innocent, is for what country? Apparently you forgot to tell us the country. However, the country is Sierra Leone. Is he on trial now for liberia? UNBELIEVABLE.

Much as I admire the courage and audacity of this witness, I am struggling with certain aspects of his testimony because the group of jittery NPFL militias who conducted a mopping up operation in the part of Grand Bassa County that I lived in around 1990 had some very young berretta tooting fighters. In fact, after we were ordered out our home that afternoon, the fighter who ordered me to drop my pants in the presence of my family to check my legs for marks that will identity me with the AFL was very very young.

Now, whether this was a localized ( occurring only in my area, my county, or at my home) or an isolated case, it is not mine to say but what I experienced is what I know.

Peace.

Hummm!

From your writings, i.e., “in the name of Jesus” it looks like you have some type of faith tradition that you hold dear. I suspect Christianity and on the denominational level, charismatic or something close. I love it when you embed your comments with eye catching theological statements.

Peace.

Is Taylor on trial for allegedly using SBU or child soldiers in Liberia? Your fake and illiterate prosecution witnesses can not match the skillful and articulate defense witness, Mr. Yanks Smythe. However, you guys are jealous of the defense first witness. Because the prosecution displayed bunch of mentally challenged, uneducated, and false story teller witnesses who story is based on hearsay, dead people, they say, my evidence got burnt in the house, and “my brain is not a computer.”
SK, I thought your side should have been the articulate, educated and presenting concrete evidence like documents, pictures, and etc. Look!! Mr. Smythe showed you pictures of how close he was to Taylor. He show you picture of shaking the hands of Libya Mommar Khadafi. He showed you pictures when he was sown in by the Foreign Minister Monie Captain at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when he took oath of his new job. Where did you prosecution witnesses showed pictures? Zigzag Marzar claimed he was the third man to Taylor. Where Sk? We never heard that name in the first place in Liberia. Did he show pictures or documentary evidence of his so-call closeness to President Taylor? Did Abu Keita or Vamuya Sherif showed any documents? NOOOOOOO.

SK, now you are talking about Mr. Smythe will contradict President Taylor. Good luck with that. Do you know who is the contradiction in chief here? I will whisper slowing in your ear. IT IS THE PROSECUTION AND THEIR LYING AND CONTRADICTING WITNESSES.
