What was that evidence about then? What relevance did that evidence have to anything these judges have found? So why did this court go to the great expense of flying them in the middle of our case, mind you, to give evidence? What has it proved? Nothing at all. A large fat zero." 12. Taylor's defence team STORYLINE A Sierra Leone war amputee on Thursday welcomed the conviction of former Liberian President Charles Taylor of war crimes. An international court in the Netherlands found Taylor guilty of aiding and abetting war crimes and crimes against humanity for supporting notoriously brutal rebels in neighbouring Sierra Leone in return for "blood diamonds". Edward Conteh of the Sierra Leone Amputee and War-Wounded Association came to Leidschendam near The Hague to attend the historic trial. "Well this is a clear message for African leaders, even in my country Sierra Leone. So, I am happy about the verdict," he said. Conteh recalled the day he had his arm amputated by Sierra Leone rebels. "Kids pointed gun at me, kicked me by my chest. When I was begging, they kicked me, stepped on my foot and my hand (shows) and amputated my hand. I was left there to die, but I survived," he said. Conteh expressed the hope that Taylor spends "the rest of his life" behind bars. Presiding Judge Richard Lussick scheduled a sentencing hearing for May 16, and said it would be announced two weeks later. Taylor will serve his sentence in Britain. The court does not have maximum sentences or the death penalty. In the past, convicted Sierra Leone rebel leaders have received sentences of up to 52 years. Taylor is the first head of state convicted by an international court since the post-World War II Nuremberg military tribunal. Lussick said the 64-year-old warlord-turned-president provided arms, ammunition, communications equipment and planning to rebels responsible for countless atrocities in the 1991-2002 Sierra Leone civil war. Lussick called the support "sustained and significant." Taylor's lawyer, Courtenay Griffiths, slammed the conviction as based on "tainted and corrupt evidence." Griffiths questioned why the lengthy judgement did not mention evidence given by the most famous prosecution witness - Naomi Campbell. The supermodel told judges she had received diamonds at a function in South Africa, but did not link them to Taylor. Her testimony yielded "a large, fat, zero," the lawyer said.
