MIAMI - The son of former Liberian President Charles Taylor told a federal judge Wednesday that he will plead guilty to charges of lying about his father's true identity on a passport used to enter the United States. A second hearing was scheduled for Friday for Charles McArthur Emmanuel, also known as Charles "Chuckie" Taylor Jr., to formally enter the plea. The passport fraud charge carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. Emmanuel, 29, was arrested March 30 at Miami International Airport, a day after his father was arrested in Africa on U.N. charges of atrocities during neighboring Sierra Leone's civil war.
