Kennedy was upset in 2003 that a public inquiry into three wrongful murder convictions (all three of which he helped reveal as wrong) would not look at the role that trial judges and jurors may have played.
Kennedy's comments is that they appear to be a generalized condemnation of the judges of the Supreme Court, reflecting on their general competence as well as suggesting not only inherent and systemic bias, but also deliberate -- i.e.
Kennedy, and compared the treatment of this one minor Canadian dung-disturber to that of reformist lawmakers in Iran who are jailed for the "offence" of criticizing the judiciary.
The 1980 general election produced a People's Action Movement (PAM)–NRP coalition government, with the PAM leader, Dr KennedySimmonds, as prime minister.
PAM won six out of the 11 elective assembly seats in the 1989 general election and Dr KennedySimmonds continued as prime minister.
Despite opposition calls for his resignation during 1993, Simmonds remained in office and in December, after an inconclusive general election, established a minority coalition government.
