Even Mark O Mara in his after verdict interview said he blamed the media for how badly his client has been treated the past 16 months. (for example: posting baby pictures of the victim instead of recent photos showing him as a very grown teenager).
What do you guys think? Is the media enticing these protests?

Yes, of course. It fulfills a political purpose. Like criminal prosecution should be driven by politicians running for office every minute of every day they're either in office or out of office.
