    There is no way Taylor will walk free. He is going to have to do some time for his crimes. I have nothing against Mr. Taylor personally. However, from the moment he was sent off to the Hague, his fate was sealed. He is not going to walk off this one. All these appeallings is just for show. I believe the legal terminology is "DUE PROCESS".
