Even if that was the case, what right do the legislative and executive branches have in overturning or getting involved with a decision of the judicial branch?
I'm not familiar with the accountability of the judicial branch - maybe the judge can be impeached. If so, impeach him. In a representative republic, the people have to live with the consequences of their votes. If they don't like the judgment of a representative or judge, vote them out or impeach them afterwards, but you can't just arbitrarily get in the middle of or try to change the outcome of a particular case because of a whole lot of public outcry.
The media and activists turned this into a 'uber-Amber Alert' sob story and busybodies bought right into it.
So you have bought into the notion of judicial supremacy. Under the original constitutions of many of the states, the legislature was virtually supreme, with judges having limited powers, and a governor who was often a figurehead, except for such things as the power to pardon. The legislature could have intervened to stay the judgement, but was loathe to do so because it like most is made up largely of lawyers, and lawyers defer to courts, even corrupt ones.
