4. Is there a law that determines how soon after, the result has to be released?

If the result is only required to be released to the prosecutor's office, the ball is then in their court as to when they tell the rest of us..

The jurors are not supposed to talk about their service, so they cannot cay anything...and this being Thanksgiving week, it would be understandable if they did not meet this week, so I would not be surprised if the prosecutor sat on it for a while until HE thinks it's the "best" time..
