He maintained that he never insulted the full bench of the Supreme Court, but only directed his remarks at the Chief Justice, stating he was therefore surprised that he was held accountable for allegedly insulting the entire bench.
According to “Prophet Key,” his actions were influenced by frustration over information he received concerning Liberians who were allegedly removed from their properties through court decisions.
The social media figute, who is noted for spewing foul language, said the situation contributed to his decision to make the remarks against the Chief Justice.
