Think about it. BEFORE the jury is out, they are still listening to the evidence of the case. So, if evidence is still being gathered and presented, the jury would not be out. It would still be IN the court room hearing the case. It is perfectly logical Brother, I think saying, “The Jury’s not out yet”
makes sense.
Think about it.

BEFORE the jury is out, they are still listening to the evidence of the case.

So, if evidence is still being gathered and presented, the jury would not be out. It would still be IN the court room hearing the case.

It is perfectly logical

In which case, a version like "the jury's yet out," would make perfect sense. In exactly the same way that "I threw over the cow the fence some hay," makes perfect sense in the parts of Lancaster County, PA where my college German TA did his thesis work.
