Lawyers for warlord seek to delay Campbell testimony

Taylor’s defence filed the motion because they have not been provided with a summary of Campbell’s testimony ahead of her court appearance, according to a spokesman for the Special Court of Sierra Leone, which is trying the case in The Hague.

Campbell, 40, is due to give evidence on Thursday over claims she accepted a rough diamond from the former warlord after a party hosted by Nelson Mandela in South Africa in 1997.
