Jack Thompson to Face Florida Supreme Court Discipinary Hearing
You can read all the details over at GamePolitics.com. To quote:
GamePolitics has learned that controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson faces a disciplinary hearing before a referee appointed by the Florida Supreme Court.
The pending judicial review follows a recent recommendation by the Florida Bar that five counts of professional misconduct against Thompson should proceed to the state’s high court for action. If the charges are eventually upheld, Thompson could face disciplinary action up to and including disbarment.
Won't go into all the sordid details - frankly, I dislike writing anything about this guy at all. However, thought it was worth sharing because it may be that we're finally beginning to see the shifting of the needle of attacks on the video game industry. Over the last few years we've seen a variety of suits attempting to ban/bar the sale of video games as being dangerous to youth or immoral. They keep getting batted down, and Jack's usually around to try and pick up the pieces. Should he be disbarred, you have to wonder who would try to keep up such a useless fight? Crossing my fingers on this.
