Either way, it could be interpreted as a form of 'jury tampering' and, consequently, leading to a biased and unsafe verdict.

Well, not arguing against or for it. Just saying this is how I interpreted the situation. I think that it heavily depends on what the actual clip showed. If this was just some random video which has nothing to do with the case I do not see any grounds. But if the video made any suggestions regarding the case then I see how this may be a problem.
