Grenada's Attorney General Elvin Nimrod says his government will do all within its power to ensure that former deputy prime minister Bernard Coard and others convicted of murdering prime minister Maurice Bishop in 1983 remain in prison. Addressing a political meeting in Carriacou Mr. Nimrod said the Keith Mitchell administration had spent millions of dollars to protect the country. Prominent Trinidadian attorney-at-law Keith Scotland will be among 12 lawyers expected to speak on behalf of Coard and 12 other accused prisoners who will be resentenced for murdering Mr. Bishop and several of his Cabinet colleagues during a palace coup in 1983. Three of the accused from the group originally known as the "Grenada 17" were released last December. Earlier this year, the London-based Privy Council ruled that the death sentences originally imposed on them were unconstitutional. Reprinted from radioja.com
