I can't explain it but then again, I don't have much experience with Grand Juries. This is what I was able to find.
Quote:
Despite the greater number of indictments per session, the hours a grand jury spends in a single session remain nearly constant. In 1992 it was 5.37 hours, and in 1998 it was 5.33 hours. The reasons for this are unclear. Improvements in case management may have made grand jury sessions more efficient, or grand juries may be disposing of a greater number of less complex cases. Generally, the recommended standard for a single session is approximately six hours of scheduled business, and it may take more than one grand jury session to produce a vote on an indictment.

That seems to suggest to me that, while sometimes it may require more than one session, the average time is a little over 5 hours. Doesn't seem unreasonable if I am reading it correctly. Like I said though, I don't have a clue how these things work, so I have no way of knowing what link of time is unreasonable. Do you?
