It's not universally true that the longer a jury deliberates, the better it is for the plaintiff. Extended deliberations can indicate that jurors are struggling to reach a consensus, which could go either way depending on the case's specifics. While lengthy discussions may suggest that jurors are carefully considering the evidence, they can also lead to divisions that ultimately favor the defense. Each case is unique, and the dynamics of jury deliberation can vary widely.
