Read the claim below. Trial by jury is the best way to determine the guilt or innocence of an accused criminal. Select the piece of evidence that best supports this claim. Jury trials can be very slow, sometimes taking weeks or even months before jurors reach a decision. Jurors hear all the evidence in a case and then agree on a decision based on thoughtful discussion.

The question is asking us to identify which piece of evidence best supports the claim that trial by jury is the best way to determine the guilt or innocence of an accused criminal. The first piece of evidence states that jury trials can be very slow, which does not support the claim that they are the best method. The second piece of evidence states that jurors hear all the evidence and make a decision based on thoughtful discussion, which supports the claim that jury trials are the best method. Therefore, the second piece of evidence is the best answer.
