A North Carolina father-of-one spent 24 hours in jail for refusing to wear a mask as ordered by a judge despite no state or county mandates in place.
Gregory Hahn, 47, a US Navy veteran, was among several of 98 jury duty candidates called to Harnett County court who showed up not wearing a mask because there were no such rules or warnings in place, WRAL reports.
Despite the fact that masks aren't required in the building, Judge Winston Charles Gilchrist mandated that everyone in his courtroom wear a mask.

who oversees these judges??
That may be true. If he incarcerated this individual for not wearing a mask, he crossed a great big huge red line.
Nope… a judge can’t make me wear pink and does not have that power.
Dox the SOB. He should live in fear just like Supreme Court justice who was criminally harassed.
A criminal complaint for false imprisonment.
The clot shot and boosters must be taking the proper effect on this judge’s brain. There is no way this should have happened. The judge is a political activist for the Democrat party. Follow his tyrannical commands or go to jail! That is his ruling in a nutshell.
Guy should have should have excused himself from the jury. Just leave.
Sucks, but a judge is lord in the courtroom. Defy them at your peril.
As a judge for nearly 20 years, I have had several situations where a defendant’s constitutional right to a trial by a jury of his peers has been frustrated because not enough people showed up for jury selection. That’s not okay. This judge was being a tyrant, but trying to get out of jury duty is thoughtless and selfish.
Sorry.
His court; his rules.
bingo
If the state left judges with the option to order muzzles in their courts, that should have been explained to Mr. Hahn.
That said, folks should think about something.
What better way for a leftist judge to get away with screwing with a jury pool than by ensuring the people who sit through voir dire are the type who’ll submit to muzzling.
A jury of one’s peers...my arse.
The CJ System is a horror and a shame. No one wants anything to do with it.
Rightfully.
I don’t blame them. When the elite can cash out of serving it leaves a very lopsided ‘peers group.
We shall see; when other JUDGES rule on this action.
And he's giving the 1% that aren't a bad name.
It is in his courtroom but when he turns into a thug compliants will be issued and then he can be reined in for his abuses.
It’s not his court.
It’s the people’s court.
And those aren’t masks.
They’re muzzles.
As for NC’s guidance...

I see nothing there allowing that judge the ability to do this.
I would sue him in civil court
