US Prosecuting Liberian Torturer

Son of a President; head of a paramilitary-antiterrorist group; torturer:
Witnesses described horrific torture techniques involving electric shocks, molten plastic, lit cigarettes, hot clothes irons, bayonets and even biting ants shoveled onto people's bodies. Prisoners were often kept in water-filled pits covered by heavy iron grates and barbed wire.
The prosecution is seeking 147 years.

His defense? Guess.
