After a long day of trial and a full evening of preparing for the next day, Paul decides to relax a bit by catching up with his friends and family on Facebook. While on Facebook, Paul discovers the Facebook page of one of the jurors on the Vader case. The juror posted a fully public comment on his Facebook page about the Vader case. The comments are critical of the manufacturer and favorable to Mr. Vader's case. What is Paul's best course of action?
