Legal Question in Criminal Law in Louisiana

My brother was found guilty on March 17 in the state of Georgia. Right before the verdict was read, my grandfather overheard 2 members of the jury talking in the restroom about wanting to vote not guilty because they felt it wa entrapment. Not long after he heard that, he was found guilty. He will not be sentenced until May 24. Is there anything our family can do, to help him, with this information?
