May be a hung jury, but I never had a case in 25 years of Prosecuting where long deliberations EVER helped the Defense ... except a hung jury.

I've been a juror on at least eight cases over the years that were long deliberations and experienced all three - guilty, not guilty, and hung. I think it's just a matter of who's on (liberal v conservative) IMO, at least that is what I have observed.
