The point of the jury system is to create an incentive for posters to avoid posting inappropriate stuff. The threat of a hidden post is the incentive which causes people to think about what they post.

If we provide jurors with a "Please edit" option, then jurors are very likely going to take that option all the time, and then posters will no longer have an incentive to be civil. Because they'll always get a chance to fix their post if they cross the line.
