Former Liberian President Charles Taylor, center between guards, awaits the start of the prosecution's closing arguments during his trial at the U.N.-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone in Leidschendam Tuesday Feb. 8, 2011. Taylor's lawyer stormed out of court Tuesday after judges refused to accept a written summary of the former Liberian president's defense case at the end of his war crimes trial. British attorney Courtenay Griffiths ignored judges at the Special Tribunal for Sierra Leone who ordered him to stay in court after unprecedented angry exchanges erupted before closing arguments in the three-year case. "How will posterity judge the credibility of this court if, at this 11th hour, they prevented Mr. Taylor from presenting ... 90 percent of his closing arguments?" Griffiths said outside court. He said he refused to "lend legitimacy to proceedings" by staying.
