Small Dirty Looking Stones

Starring Naomi Campbell and Tony Leung in the real world.

I never would have thought international movie star Tony Leung would have anything to do with blood diamond, but apparently he does, albeit quite remotely I guess.

Campbell testifies a pouch of small dirty looking stones were given to her by two men in the small hours of a night.  She didn't know what was inside until the following morning and didn't know who the men were or whom they represented.  According to Campbell it was Farrow and her ex-agent Ms. White who suggested they were blood diamonds and from Mr. CharlesTaylor, then president of Liberia.  Her testimony directly contradicted what Farrow had said before, she said Campbell told her Mr. Taylor gave her the diamond.
