Farrow, Campbell draw spotlight to war-crime trial (AP)

August 9th, 2010

Actress Mia Farrow is seen in this image taken from TV at the U.N.-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone in Leidschendam, Netherlands, Monday, Aug. 9, 2010. Farrow has told the Charles Taylor war crimes trial that fashion model Naomi Campbell confided she had been sent a 'huge diamond' by the former Liberian ruler in 1997. Farrow appears to contradict Campbell's evidence last week. Campbell told the court on Friday she was given several small stones by unknown men. If Farrow's Monday account is true, it would dent Taylor's denials of any involvement with illicit diamonds. The court did not give permission to take photos of Mia Farrow inside the courtroom.
