Judge recommends permanent disbarment for Jack Thompson

Post by froggyboy604 »

GamePolitics has obtained a copy of the judge's recommendation in the Florida Bar's disbarment case against renowned anti-game violence (or just plain anti-game) attorney Jack Thompson ... and it isn't good. Judge Dava Tunis, who Thompson has referred to as "mentally impaired" and "a raving wild woman" is recommending permanent disbarment in the case, where the Florida Bar had asked for a 10 year suspension of his ability to practice law.

In addition, Judge Tunis recommends that Thompson be assesed a $43,675 fine for the legal costs incurred by the Florida Bar. In May, Thompson was found guilty of 27 out of 31 charges made against him in a misconduct suit brought before the court.

[Thanks, Randall]

I think Jack should choose his words better since calling a judge names won't help him in the long run. Taking a 10 year break be good for him. He now have time to play all those videogames he said were "murder simulators" and learn they can be fun.
