i have no doubt that the jury is just being thorough. long times and short times don't necessarily mean a thing. i've seen super quick verdicts that everyone expected meant would go one way, and it went the other. you certainly don't want to give anyone reason to question, or have grounds for appeals.
and it is possible that some charges could go one way, and others another. or hell, maybe one of the jurors isn't in a hurry to get home...maybe the spouse is a shrew!
