Citing concerns for her security, the 40-year-old supermodel won a court order barring journalists from photographing or filming her arrival and departure from the courthouse.

She was, however, filmed while giving testimony.

"I don't want to be here. I was made to be here ... This is a terrible inconvenience to me," Campbell said. "Obviously I just want to get this over with and get on with my life."

Prosecutors had alleged that Taylor -- accused of receiving the diamonds from rebels a month before his trip to South Africa -- gave Campbell a large rough cut diamond after the dinner.

Prosecutors plan to call White and Farrow next Monday.

Campbell had in the past denied she was given diamonds and refused at first to testify, prompting the court to subpoena her.
