As exhibited by the jurors early attitudes, the trial has taken a vast amount of time. The question by Juror 4 that, "shall we all admit that it is hot and humid and that our tempers are short" (Rose 11), shows that it has been awhile and that the length of the trial has attributed to the juror's restlessness. While the trial did take an entire week, this time was absolutely necessary in getting to the bottom of a complex and high-stakes issue like the murder of a man. The time was well spent in this case. While it may be tedious, many complex issues require a large amount of time and effort to get to the bottom of.
