Coming from the not-a-court-person world, 34 counts seems like a lot to get through. Is that fairly common, or is that something that we can expect would take a while to decide regardless?
If the jurors are taking the job seriously and diligently (and based on observations of their attentiveness and note-taking during the trial, they appear to be) then even if their minds were already made up going in, I would expect them to at least go through the evidence carefully for each of the 34 counts. How long would that take, at a minimum? Even if it's no more than 15 minutes per count (which seems very fast), that's 510 minutes or 8.5 hours.
