Thank you.

Mr Taylor appears today for sentence. I will read from the full sentencing judgement, which I have before me, and which will be filed today when this Court adjourns.

On the 26th of April, 2012, the Trial Chamber rendered its Judgement, delivered in summary form, finding the Accused ...

Thank you.

Yes, Mr Griffiths.

Good morning.

We'll take appearances, please.

Before we adjourn, we would like to thank both the Prosecution and the Defence for their very comprehensive written briefs and also for the additional oral arguments presented today. We have much to consider.

The delivery of judgement -- a Sentencing judgement date has already been fixed for the 30th of ...

Thank you, Mr Taylor.

Mr Taylor can come down to the witness-stand.

If there is one handy there.

Mr Taylor, you wanted to use the witness-stand, so if you would please come forward.

Thank you, Mr Griffiths.

Now I understand Mr Taylor would like to address the Court before we proceed to pass sentence, and he understands, does he not, that he will be limited to 30 minutes.

Thank you, Mr Griffiths.

Thank you, Mr Griffiths. I've just been handed a copy, so that should do.

We don't have it on our screen yet, Mr Griffiths.

Please go ahead, Mr Griffiths.

Now, we'll adjourn and we'll come back at 15 minutes from now. Say at 25 minutes to 11.00.

Yes, thank you, Ms Hollis.

We'll take that break you wanted now, Mr Griffiths. And just to answer your second application, we have no objection if Mr Taylor would like to give his address from the witness-stand.

Thank you, Ms Hollis.

All right, thank you. Well, we have noted the time and we'll give you one hour from now.

All right. Any problems with that, Ms Hollis?

And are you asking for -- we had in mind something like 15 minutes.

We don't have any problem with a break, Mr Griffiths, but were you thinking of have it before you actually address or before Mr Taylor has something to say?

Well, we -- actually, Mr Griffiths, we were not thinking of having a mid-morning break, but you're saying you need it for some particular purpose?

I'm sorry. I didn't see you standing there.

Thank you.

Well, we have two preliminary matters to mention. The first matter is the delivery of the full judgement, which is a huge judgement. The Trial Chamber had aimed at having it published last Monday. However, the technicians who were formatting the judgement for publication have had challenges due ...

Thank you.

Good morning. We will take appearances first, please.

Thank you. Trial Chamber I, composed of Justice Richard Lussick, presiding, Justice Teresa Doherty, Justice Julia Sebutinde, with alternate Judge Justice El Hadji Malick Sow, today delivers its judgement in the case of the Prosecutor against Charles Ghankay Taylor. For the purposes of this hearing, the Chamber will briefly summarise ...

Yes, Mr Griffiths.

We're just pausing momentarily while some photographs are taken.

We will take appearances, please.

If you press "transcript".

Excuse me, Mr Griffiths, I'm having problems with my Lotus Notes, and I use the notes to underline important submissions, so -

Is that the correct paragraph, 808?

Mr Bangura, are you still on paragraph 866 or have you moved on?

Thank you. We will adjourn then until 9 a.m. on Wednesday, this Wednesday.

All right. Well, that can be the final direction, then, that the public versions of the Prosecution and Defence final trial briefs to be filed within one month from today.

Now, before we adjourn, is there anything that's not clear in the orders we've set out? I realise ...

No. I said where "close of business" has been used, substitute "by 4 p.m."

Yes. Well, we are not going to revisit those orders, Mr Koumjian, but, Mr. Munyard, you raised that point in clarification what do we mean by "close of business"? Can we say this? That in the orders where we mention "close of business," substitute "4 p.m.," "by not later ...

Yes, Mr. Munyard?

Go ahead.

No. I think that needs to be clarified.

We've done our best to consider the points of view of both parties on the submissions they have put to us. I can begin by saying that we had to put next Monday out of the question. There are some logistical problems on that date.

Now, if we can ...

Thank you, Mr. Munyard. We will have an adjournment and come up with a schedule. Hopefully we won't be too long.

Well, what I was going to ask you is this: If the annexes are put forward as a useful reference tool, and the Defence, for instance, were to consider that, well, they are not all that useful because we have to look up the references anyway, I gather that a ...

Well, just before you do, Mr. Munyard, perhaps - I was quoting in context. Perhaps I'll read the whole sentence: It starts off, "The Defence notes that, contrary to the Prosecution's arguments at paragraph 12, the material contained in annexes A to C of the Defence final brief is ...

While you're on your feet, Mr. Munyard, in the Defence filing of the 7th of February, that's the Defence response to Prosecution motion to substitute Prosecution final trial brief, et cetera, at page - at paragraph 2, the Defence says, "The Defence final brief is not substantive argument but ...

Just before you sit down, Mr Koumjian, for the purposes of our deliberations, have you totally written off the possibility of a written response?

Thank you, Mr. Munyard.

Just before you sit down, Mr. Munyard, you have suggested written responses to the final trial briefs. Seeing those would be written responses to the final trial briefs and not to the Prosecution closing arguments, would the time for filing the written response necessarily interfere with the date fixed for ...

Mr. Munyard?

Yes. Mr Koumjian?

Yes.
