The war crimes trial of former Liberian president Charles Taylor has ended after more than three years. A verdict from the U.N.-backed special court is expected later this year.
Mr. Taylor is pleading not guilty to 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity for his alleged support of rebels in neighboring Sierra Leone who murdered, raped, and mutilated civilians during the country’s civil war.
