Anybody who knows anything knows that a jury trial is a crapshoot, which is why an appeal of a jury verdict would only be viable in rare cases such as jury tampering. The judge's instructions were very straight forward and could be understood by an 8 year old. So all the bombast of demanding an appeal is purely political and without legal basis. Any politicians jumping on this bandwagon only proves their lack of principles regarding our legal system.
It is no secret, however, that law schools in this country would prefer a system like the laughable excuse for a "Justice System" south of the border, where a prosecutor goes on national television spouting "evidence" that "proves" the accused is guilty, ala Nancy Grace, with no time given to defense. (Actions that in this country, for now at least, would get that person fired, disbarred, and possibly jailed). Is that what we really want?
It would be nice when the day comes we can all just be Canadians with none of the bullshit about where we came from a thousand years ago. Equal rights and responsibilities for all!
Won't happen until we can put the Marxist psychopathy that drives identity politics and post modernism into the scrap heap of failed ideologies. There is a hierarchy of victimhood whose members garner the most attention and action, and they are all jockeying for that number one spot. As long as they get their desired attention it will continue. They will never get their desired results because they will just move the goalposts, it is a game they actually can't afford to win. But we keep on giving in to them, kind of like throwing food scraps outside to keep the bears away. There is probably a definition of insanity in there somewhere.
