The responsibilities of the attorney would be to inform his client that he has grounds for an appeal.

if the decision is injurious to your client, you can appeal and ask another court to overturn the ruling. Unless it comes w/ an ethical obligation (you discover the judge took a bribe) there may not be any ethical obligation to anyone other than to tell your client what you found out and let him or her decide whether to appeal or how to proceed.

Ask for an immediate mistrial. Then appeal the case to a higher court.
