You think our courts give a fuck about social media and Instagram feeds to determine outcomes in the judicial system? Do you know why judges are entrenched? Give you a hint, it's so they can make unbias, sometimes unfavourable decisions based on the law, past cases and evidence presented without having to worry about 1000 of teens (that have not seen a shred of evidence and making emotional judgements) complaining and him losing his job.
And if you didn't catch it the first time, I did not say I agree with the outcome in this case.

You can calm the hell down ... nobody said that the petition would sway the judge's decision for a minute. The overwhelming response to the petition showed the Crown and ICBC the kind of societal outrage for the acquittal. The petition was a factor in
getting the crown to appeal which is what the family wanted. Now hopefully, another common sense judge will do the right thing.
So at least we have one thing in common, we both do not agree with the outcome of this case so far.
