First of all - if you observed him - you should have ceased your conversation. However - if you didn't see him - immediately report him to the judge who is hearing the case - you may be entitled to a mis-trial being declared. File a complaint against him with the State Bar Association. Ask your attorney why HE isn't taking action against him?
