No. You can do whatever you want pretty much. You'd have to argue they're trying to taint a potential jury pool or something, which isn't an issue here, on this case, on this scale, it's not even close. That's generally a crim thing anyway, I've never even see that come up in a civil trial. Admissibility doesn't have anything to do with anything until you're trying to testify or publish something to a jury.
