How late can the jury deliberate?

Is this a continuous process? Or does there come a point when the jury goes home for the evening?

given the time, they may think they are close to a decision, but that is speculating.

they're sequestered, they go with bailiffs to a motel. No TV, no phones, no newspapers. This is how the jury sequestration process works. They don't go home until they return a verdict.

If I were a juror on this trial, I'd work all night long.

I think yesterday they stopped their deliberations and went back to the hotel around 6 pm ET - something like that.
