... does it normally take a jury to form an opinion?

And how long does it take to publish the verdict after the jury decided?

Thank you very much in advance and by the way:

A huge "THANK YOU!" to all who contributed so much in the last days and weeks - this tides over some "dark" moments this messaging board had in the last seven years, let alone the chance of a positive outcome tomorrow which will outshine everything (but to be honest I'm kind of afraid of the verdict...).

GLTAOU!
