After a five year trial that included grisly testimony from victims who were missing limbs, former colleagues and even fashion supermodel Naomi Campbell, African warlord Charles Taylor was convicted today for his role in the atrocities committed in Sierra Leone including mass murder, segxwal slavery and the use of child soldiers.

Taylor was found guilty by the U.N.-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone on all 11 charges for "aiding and abetting" crimes against the people of the African nation committed by militant groups in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell was subpoenaed by the court following an ABC News report about allegations that Taylor had given her uncut "blood diamonds" on a trip to South Africa.

When asked about the diamonds in April 2010, Campbell denied she received any diamonds and then punched the camera in a producer's hand when pressed for details. But when she took the stand for the criminal court, Campbell admitted she had received a gift of "small dirty-looking stones."

Hollywood actress Mia Farrow, who ate breakfast with Campbell the morning during the trip to South Africa, also testified that Campbell had indeed received the diamonds.

Taylor is scheduled to be sentenced next month, but both sides are likely to appeal the ruling, Andersen said.

This is a great move. He is such a wicked man. I saw how Samuel Doe was killed and felt hurt for Charles Taylor. Even if he deserved to die because of what he has done, it shouldn't be in that manner. Maybe Charles should also be made to face that
