A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Sweating in criminal procedure refers to the illegal interrogation of a prisoner through the use of threats or similar means to force them to provide information.

Example: A police officer threatens to harm a suspect's family if they do not confess to a crime they may or may not have committed. This is an example of sweating.

Explanation: Sweating is a form of coercion that is illegal and violates a person's rights. It involves using fear or intimidation to extract information from a suspect, regardless of whether they are guilty or innocent. The example provided illustrates how a police officer may use threats to force a suspect to confess to a crime, even if they did not commit it.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
