> they asked the jurors to hang around for a while (voluntarily) and talk to both the defense attorney and the prosecutor about how we reached our decision

My jaw is on the floor.

Here in Blighty, a jury deliberates in absolute secrecy. Revealing jury deliberations, even after the verdict, is a serious offence.

Here in the US that kind of thing generally varies from state to state. But as I understand it, in most states, once the verdict is rendered and the jury has been discharged, the jurors are free to discuss the case with anyone.
