The couple’s lawyers argued contrary evidence from medical experts led the trial judge to issue a misleading charge and did not “give the jury the tools that they needed” to properly decide the case.

In a pair of Facebook video-logs posted Sunday and Monday, Stephan — who has steadfastly blamed medical responders, the justice system and the media for unjustly criticizing him for his son’s death — said his aim is to ensure the Clarks don’t face the same fate as he and his wife.

“I’ll be playing the role of the anti-media, in the sense that if the media is going to be irresponsible again and going to continue on with the lies that they did with our case,” he said in a video posted Sunday, that racked up some 3,000 views.

“I’ll be asking some pointed questions, I’ll be interviewing the media on this — the reporters. When they get out of line I’ll be asking about how they came to the various conclusions that they did in the same courtroom that I spent time in.”

The Stephans were convicted in 2016 after jurors heard the couple treated Ezekiel with natural remedies including hot peppers, garlic, onions and horseradish for weeks, before he died in a Calgary hospital in March of 2012.

David was sentenced to four months in jail while Collet was handed three months house arrest, but both have been free during the appeals process.

Last November, the Alberta Court of Appeal rejected the couple’s bid for a new trial, but the decision wasn’t unanimous, allowing the couple to pursue their appeal to Canada’s highest court.
