Posted by Webmaster on July 16, 2008
2:30pm: Court resumed and defence counsel Terry Munyard continued his cross-examination of Witness Jabati Jaward in open session.
Defecne counsel asked the witness about his knowlege of rumours that Bockarie was planning to overthrow Taylor in Liberia. Witness responded that he heard no such rumours but that Bockarie told him some people from Burkina Faso had spoken to him to help overthrow Taylor, an information which Bockarie said he passed onto to Taylor.
Defence counsel spent the remaining time highlighting inconsistencies in the witness’s written statement to the Prosecution and what he has said in his oral testimony in court. The witness insisted that such mistakes were made by the prosecution.
The court adjourned for the day.
