This week saw the continuation of the Defence case with 12 crime-base witnesses testifying. The witnesses all testified as common witnesses and the Prosecution conducted little cross-examination, allowing the proceedings to progress at a steady pace. However, the Defence still appears to be having difficulty organising for witnesses to be available to testify before the Court. Also this week the first status conference in the Charles Taylor case was held in the Hague before Judge Lussick. Proceedings in the AFRC trial were therefore adjourned on Friday morning until the following week.
