Jack Thompson = Owned
Great news from Joystiq.com!:
We’re not going to make jokes on this one and save the snark until the final ruling, but the judge presiding over self-proclaimed anti-games activist Jack Thompson’s Florida Bar trial has recommended the attorney be found guilty on 27 of the 31 misconduct charges – 21 from the Devin Moore case, 4 when in 2006 he tried to declare Bully a public nuisance, and 2 unrelated to video games.
Game Politics has the full story and a list of some of the charges, including “Engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation” and “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.” A disciplinary hearing is being held June 4. The full report to the Florida Supreme Court is due September 2.
Too bad, so sad Jacky boy!
