Off Topic: Florida Bar faces Thompson in court again
Florida attorney and game-regulation activist Jack Thompson has been
involved in a number of public feuds stemming from his efforts against
the likes of shock-jock Howard Stern, Grand Theft Auto (and Firmware 3.03 hack enabler, not by choice, of course) publisher
Take-Two Interactive, and the lawyers who have represented them.
Thompson has even sued the Florida Bar, of which he is a member.
Now the Florida Bar has rolled up all those feuds and more into a
40-page complaint filed with the state's Supreme Court.
Self-explanatory game blog GamePolitics
broke the story over the weekend, reporting that the Bar's complaint
makes five allegations against Thompson for violations of professional
conduct.
GameSpot obtained a full copy of the complaint, which accuses
Thompson of a number of misdeeds, such as repeatedly disobeying a
judge's orders and violating Alabama's rules of professional conduct.
Specifically, the complaint says Thompson made out-of-court statements
that could tamper with the court case, knowing that they would be
picked up and widely reported.
