How long does the average jury take to decide?

[mumof2andsurviving]

Am prosecution witness. Jury sent out to deliberate. I know it's like asking how long is a piece of string but in your experience how long on average does it take for a jury to decide? Have you been on jury service? What sort of crime and how long did it take? Do the number of charges make difference in terms of time taken?

1 jury I was on took a couple of days as they start the day late and leave early 10-3 or 4. I think it was 14 hours in total. Another one I was on took 2 hours ( this is more normal I believe).
