Is no news good news? It seems to have been going on for a while. I guess this was not the quick traffic ticket kind of trial.
The jury selection process alone can take awhile. I've served on several juries in my state, and both sides interview and review the potential jurors. My guess is that this took up much of the morning, perhaps more. The trial itself could last another day, or more. The jury can take its time in deliberation, in one civil case in which I was a juror, we deliberated for nearly three days, after hearing arguments and testimony that lasted three days.
