1. If it goes past Monday I think

2. They have 18 charges and a complex trail of info.

I would have been more worried if they came back in 30 min.

3. I'll start getting nervous if there is no verdict by

the end of the day on Wednesday. From the four questions already asked, it looks like this jury is taking their job very seriously. As simple as this case may look to us on the outside, it is somewhat complicated and the jury has to rule on each of 18 counts. No small feat.

4. These typically take about a week

Anything over ten days would be worrisome with a holdout. The questions they asked indicate they are very serious and are probably convicting on most charges. Wouldn't surprise me if they find the government didn't meet the burden on a few, based upon the questions.

5. That judge's pro-defense interjections during the trial worry me.

And an earlier poster stated that the judge met separately with each juror before deliberations began.

Is that suspicious or what?

6. I've been on juries where the charges were much simpler...

... that took 4-5 days because of debate amoung jurors.

This is a serious & high-profile case, it may take several more days.

7. There is no point in obsessing over the time the jury is taking

It doesn’t mean a thing either way. And anyone on TV saying anything else is doing so because they are paid to say something.

8. Until they start telling the judge they are deadlocked don't worry

There are 18 charges.

For all we know they quickly agreed on guilty on 15 and are just deeply debating the last 3.
