Not yet...

My former manager said if you randomly shout "Guilty!" When they're selecting jury you might get in some trouble but you won't actually be selected for the case

@Viper Not a good idea. An irked-enough judge could cite you for contempt of court and throw you in jail. (That's what's so scary about jury duty. You're basically being held against your will by the court.)

@graphite I meant as part of jury selection.

@TexChik had a better suggestion in
If you ask questions like ,” what’s the max we can give them?” They will boot you. If you are quiet they will pick you

Yes, ask legitimate but tough and maybe biased questions and they shouldn't be able to punish you, but they won't select you either.

@Viper If you shout "Guilty!" during jury selection with the judge in the room, you better hope he/she is not in a bad mood. Or you could get cited for contempt of court. Here's a sample of what can happen if the judge is so inclined:
