Hi
Could you tell me what this means?
"The jury is out, but the question is vigorously pursued..."

Hi In a court case, after the jury have heard the evidence, they go to a separate room to discuss what their verdict should be. They are then 'out' (of the main room of the court) Until they come back, no one knows what the answer is going to be. If you asked me at that moment, I could only say - the jury is out.
