You can't just show evidence to the jury that hasn't been authenticated,
accepted by the court, and marked and logged first. If you do something like
that, you'll trigger a mistrial and get yourself reported to the bar by the
judge for sanctions, and likely have to serve some type of contempt charge.

EVERYONE in court should have been asking what that TV was for since nothing
that could be shown on it had been introduced to the court as evidence. The
judge, the court clerk, the prosecutors... everyone.
