Wastes jurors' time...most juries may view it traditionally—that it is a form of pressuring them into a result."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even though I didn't explicitly say so, I agree with this.  No amount of follow-up can hurry a decision along.  Follow-up is only worthwhile if there's some other issue that requires attention, one for which the person on the other end can really be helpful.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">jen_wang</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 Dec 2011 20:18:47 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Wild Rumpus Starts</title><link>http://wildrumpusmusic.org/the-wild-rumpus-starts/#comment-393606353</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Jen!
