Duty...

A man called for jury duty in Hawaii shouted "He is guilty! He is guilty!" outside a courtroom.

"He was trying to get out of jury duty," Attorney Jason Burks told the court. "Obviously, he took a very improper approach to it."

Maldonado had been called as a possible juror in a Honolulu misdemeanor assault trial. The court was about to begin jury selection when lawyers alerted Judge Edward Kubo that a potential juror was creating a disturbance outside.

Kubo declared a mistrial, finding the man's disturbance had affected the 44 other potential jurors, according to the judge's order.

The judge ordered Maldonado's arrest on a contempt charge and set a $10,000 cash bail. Maldonado spent the night in jail and appeared before Kubo on Wednesday morning.
