Prince Taylor was sentenced to two years on each of the four counts of interfering with witnesses who had testified in the Charles Taylor trial, and two-and-a-half years for interfering with former rebel Eric Koi Senessie.
According to Justice Teresa Doherty who gave the ruling Thursday, the terms will run concurrently from October 2012, when he was taken into custody.
Prince Taylor was convicted on 25 January 2013 on five counts of contempt of court.
