This guy is a fvcking joke. No wonder the INTERIM report took so long. He was busy writing this wrenk Apologia:
APOLOGIA
The Public Defender acknowledges the relentless criticism by all who have rightly expressed impatience over the delivery of this Interim Report — a “special” and extraordinary report to Parliament. Their concern that it has contributed to the delay of justice, an injustice in itself, does have merit and is cause for much regret.
In the meantime and for months, frustrated, caustic critics exercising the freedom of expression, have fulminated in anger and indignation over the delay. That freedom is one of the various fundamental rights of the citizen which the Public Defender is enjoined to protect and enforce. He must therefore be and, has been especially tolerant of adverse commentary, in this case, by “outraged” would-be opinion-makers who, have launched virulent verbal assaults on him. These attacks relate to the handling of investigations concerning one of the monumental events in Jamaica’s torturous history (the State of Emergency declared in May, 2010 ) as well as the delivery of this review.
The delay has generated a great furore. Utterances, at times vitriolic; rarely balanced, fair and informed, were grist to the mill of gleeful media, hungry for and thirsting after something they call “news”. On occasion, the diatribe has stooped to unbecoming and
ii.
highly offensive “anal” ribaldry, spewed by what in times past was respectfully referred to as “the old lady of Harbour Street” - the Daily Gleaner.
There have even been calls for the incumbent’s resignation; for him to “pack his bags and go !” And if he does not, to hound him out of office.
Quite remarkably, those calling publicly for the resignation, included Mr. Delroy Chuck, Q.C., M.P., leader of Opposition Business in the House of Representatives, a former Speaker of the House and erstwhile Chairman of the Commission established by the Public Defender (Interim) Act, S.11(2), of which he remains a member. He spoke out strongly but in egregious disregard of relevant provisions of that statute as well as binding protocols. And Mr. Desmond McKenzie, M. P. for West Kingston, has accused the Public Defender of “deceiving the people of Jamaica, particularly the residents of Tivoli Gardens”, who, are amongst his constituents. (See pp. 198 – 204, post.)
But are the faultfinders all well-intentioned ?. Are their real motives honourable, or sinister and deplorable ?. Time will tell.
Truth be told, so many of the critics know too little about way too much. They care to understand even less. There are ways in which they have done more harm than good. And yet, others must actually mean well.
And there is more but I have not yet found it. This is the same man who abused his position as Public Defender to appeal to the person who robbed him of his gold chain to return it, on national TV! Who gives a flying fcuk about his gold frikkin chain! Over 70 people died in Tivoli!
He needs to go! A frikkin INTERIM report takes 3 rasz years! Imagine if he were to write the FINAL report!
Don't get me started with this fool!

That's the point he is making...he told us long ago that this matter needs a commission of inquiry...that this INTERIM report would not be exhaustive...give the guy a break...the INTERIM report goes on to explain that it was not only the report he was working on, but concurrently had to deal with individual claims from over 3000 persons...you really think that the Public Defender's office is equipped for all of that?
