Jack Thompson, controversial attorney and hater of Grand Theft Auto has been recommended guilty in twenty-seven of his thirty-one misconduct charges by Judge Dava Tunis.
Last year, the madcap defense attorney was on trial for charges of misconduct, many of which revolved around his obsession with violent videogames. Tunis has recommended that 27 of the charges be upheld by the Florida Supreme Court, which will make the official ruling:
After considering the arguments presented by the Florida Bar and the Respondent (Thompson), observing the Respondent's demeanor during the nine-day trial proceedings, and carefully reviewing the record consisting of four volumes of exhibits totaling 1700 pages and approximately 2400 pages of transcribed testimony, the Court finds that the facts, circumstances and evidence presented regarding the Respondent's conduct, supports a finding of guilt as to certain Florida Bar rules...
Among the guilty acts are knowingly making false statements in court, dishonest or fraudulent practices and making statements intended only to embarrass or burden other parties rather than contribute anything of use. Sounds like she knows our mutual friend well, eh?
Of course, Thompson continues to prove Tunis right by attacking her and the Florida Bar. While he stomps his feet and shouts, the Supreme Court now holds the testes of Jack's career in its mighty grip. Let's see if they get popped.

*Thought of the Day*
Yeah that IS sad, if you think about it.
I will laugh/cry when the TV media continues to put him in front of a camera to talk about video games well after he is disbarred and discredited. anything for a soundbite...
I don't think Jack Thompson actually hates videogames per se, I think that videogames, through some random chance, just happened to occupy the variable of his obsessive negative focus on "something".
If it wasn't games with him, it would have been something else. It just happened to be games that his crazy mind latched onto.
I don't think Jack actually hates videogames, I just think he LOVES the spotlight being on him. This is the way he chose to get his 15 minutes of fame and now his tired act is about to get him smacked down by the court.
You reap what you sow, as they say.

I'm sorry your livelyhood is about to go up in flames, but you've stepped on too many victims backs, and caused enough trouble to my favorite industry. Good riddance to bad liar-er, lawyers. Please, leave a comment for us Dtoiders. You took the time to register. You've probably read this by now, and i'm sure we're all just on the edge of our seats wondering how you're doing through all of this. Just don't call Excremento "shit" again.
