MsTeage,

It is a good thing for us who know Charles Taylor is not guilty that you aren’t a judge in this trial.

Ms Teage,
Count how many of you on this site that say Mr. Taylor is guilty and compare your number to those of us that say he is not guilty. Remember that two heads are by far better than one. I’m sure you would have known by now that he is not guilty if you were following logic in this case with clear mind. I’m really sorry that you allow hit to over take your power of positive thinking. All of you have worked very hard to declare President Taylor guilty in the court of public options, but it is now time that you prove your case in this court of justice. Until that is done. I advise that you carefully listen to Big Sister Helen to avoid all these back kicks from the many reader here.

Or he could just be playing a very senister and devious game called “excercising my free speech and expressing my opinions”….ummmmm I wonder what else crazy that John Thompson or Noko7 or Ms. Teage could be trying to do on this website that clearly is for free speech and opinions….
Seriously though….???????????

Sam,
I’m pretty sure you read my opinion about the case. You “breaking” things down doesn’t make anything clearer for me. I’ve gone over the evidence as you have and I’ve arrived at a different conclusion then you and others, that is why you believe he’s innocent, and I believe he’s guilty. This is my honest opinion after examining the evidence.
Noko4,
You know nothing about what I “want to see” for Mr. Taylor……FYI Justice in my book is that Taylor pays for what he does…….
By the way, it seems as if this case consumes you, whether Taylor goes to jail or not, my life is still going to be good, and I’m still going to enjoy every day. It’s you all who act as if you will die if Taylor goes to jail. I want to see justice for Sierra Leoneans and Liberians, and I don’t make apologies for that or for my opinion.

Teage,

Yes, it is true that you have rights to your own opinion. But what you don’t have rights to, is your own facts. However, the defense witnesses are corroborating what the accused has already said. Their statements are in line and consistent with President Taylor. Besides Teage, if you actually believe in democracy as you professed, you will accept all that comes with it regardless of the outcome whether it is not in your favor or not. It is also true that within a democratic system, the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty within the court of laws. I understand emotions rise especially amongst Liberians when it comes to Taylor. But accept the facts, that the man is innocent until proven guilty.

Secondly Teage, you talked about witness testimony and how you love it. You continue by saying it is inconsistent, but yet fell way too short to point out the inconsistency. Ma’am, can I ask you few questions? Are you aware, that it was the prosecution that indicted this accused? Are you aware that there were 17 original counts against the accused brought by the prosecutors? Do you know the 17 charges were reduced to 11 by the prosecution? Are you also aware that the prosecution charged him from November 1996 to 2002? Do you know that the indictment was unsealed in 2003 by the prosecution? Ma’am, whose fault it is, if the witness said Taylor had dealing with the RUF in 1991 and not 1996-2002?

Teage, all these events and works that occurred were exclusively done by the prosecution with no input from the accused or defense team. The prosecution had the chance and opportunity to have indicted him from 1991- what ever. They did not. So Ma’am, what is the beef? Show us the prove.

Ms Teage,
Ha ha ha….I guess you just want him JAIL or KILL regardless of what the evidences show…..And that’s JUSTICE in your book.

What is your take on Pres. Kabbah not been trial??

Ms. Teage,
We did from your very first comments…but having a different view so not be the reason you blind yourself to the evidences been presented. You must admit the defense is killing the prosecutors on the score board.

Jose Rodriguez,
We’ve gone over this time and time again, we are two different people, responding to the same case, I do not need to provide you with anything other than my opinion, I love the witnesses testimony, they are all over the place and inconsistent, and i think it’s great, and they should keep talking. Maybe you all don’t understand t here are two groups of people on this blog, people who think taylor is “GUILTY”, and others “NOT GUILTY”, i express my opinions just as you do and i do not have to provide evidence for you or anyone else. Get over yourselves, this is not your blog, and I have nothing to prove to you. You and the Nokos were not able to change my opinion and my views about Taylor or this trail, so I suggest you read my post disagree with it and respect my opinions. I don’t agree with your perspective on this trail but you have a right to share and you run around this blog trying to change peoples mind and demanding “evidence” of readers, COME ON….get over yourself.
