Jack Thompson Eats Karma

Wednesday 21 May 2008

Today is indeed a great day for gamers everywhere. The man you love to hate [No really] Jack Thompson has been found guilty of 27 professional misconduct charges by a Judge in Florida.

Among other charges, he was found guilty of:

  • Making statements that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to the truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge
  • Engaging in conduct in connection with the practice of law that is prejudicial to the administration of justice, including to knowingly or through callous indifference disparage or humiliate litigants or other lawyers
  • Communicating the merits of the case with a judge before whom the proceeding is pending
  • Using means that have no purpose other than to embarrass, delay or burden a third person
  • Knowingly making a false statement of material fact or law to a tribunal
  • Knowingly disobeying an obligation under the rules of a tribunal
  • Engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation
Now, I personally don't know alot about law, but I'm pretty damn sure the three bolded up there involve lying in court to a degree. That's not really a recommended course of action for a lawyer.

These charges are related to his attempts to have a Rockstar game, Bully, Declared a public nuisance, and his conduct during a case in Alabama where he represented the families of Two police officers killed by Devin Moore. Ever the snake, Thompson has bit back with several accusations against the judge, Dava Tunis and has several lawsuits outstanding against the Florida supreme court. A disciplinary hearing to decide on possible action against Thompson is expected to be held on June the 4th.

A full description of these proceedings can be found at Gamepolitics.
