As jurors continue their third day of deliberations in Bill Cosby's criminal case, the lawyers and reporters surrounding the courthouse can only speculate about the discussions taking place just a few rooms away.

The jury of seven men and five women began deliberating at 5:30 p.m. Monday, and kept going through a 12-hour day Tuesday. Their discussions have been interrupted a few times for questions—five in which they asked to re-hear prior testimony, and one about a particular charge. Including questions, they have deliberated for four hours Monday, 12 Tuesday and eight as of late Wednesday afternoon.

It may seem like a long time to discuss three criminal charges stemming from one alleged incident. But Cosby's jury has a long way to go before it sets a record for a criminal trial in Pennsylvania. Others have deliberated for far longer, while some juries have decided complex cases with remarkable speed.

William Lynn

A Philadelphia jury deliberated for 13 days in Monsignor William Lynn's 2012 trial, in which he was found guilty of endangering the welfare of a child. He was acquitted on two other counts. The jury was deadlocked on co-defendant Rev. James Brennan and the judge eventually declared a mistrial. Brennan later took a plea deal in 2016.

John du Pont

In 1997, John du Pont was convicted after seven days of deliberations and a four-week trial in Delaware County. He was eventually found guilty of third-degree murder for the January 1996 shooting of Olympic wrestler David Schultz, but he was also found to be mentally ill, which affected his sentence.

Chaka Fattah

Former U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah was found guilty on all charges against him, related to a racketeering scheme, about three days into deliberations by a federal jury. One of the jurors was dismissed on the first full day of deliberations for refusing to deliberate.

Jerry Sandusky

A Centre County jury took 20 hours to convict Jerry Sandusky on 45 of 48 counts of child sex abuse, making its decision just before 10 p.m. on a Friday, 11 days after the trial began.

Graham Spanier

After 12 hours of deliberations in Dauphin County, the former president of Penn State University was convicted of one count of child endangerment for failing to stop Sandusky from abusing children at the university. He was acquitted on a second child endangerment charge and a conspiracy count. His co-defendants, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, pleaded guilty to similar charges.

Mark Ciavarella Jr.

Former Luzerne County Common Pleas Judge Mark Ciavarella Jr. was found guilty of racketeering and other charges in 2011, after just over 12 hours of jury deliberations. The federal jury also acquitted him on some charges, including extortion and bribery.

Kathleen Kane

The Montgomery County jurors who convicted Pennsylvania's top prosecutor, former Attorney General Kathleen Kane, took just four-and-a-half hours to make their decision in August. The charges involved a complicated sequence of events and violations of grand jury law, which may not be familiar to the average juror.

As jurors continue their third day of deliberations in Bill Cosby's criminal case, the lawyers and reporters surrounding the courthouse can only speculate about the discussions taking place just a few rooms away.
