GamePolitics is reporting that Jack Thompson has once more been called up on a complaint with the Florida Bar.
This time around the case has been kicked to a referee, appointed by the Florida Supreme Court.
The pending judicial review follows a Florida Bar ruling that five counts of professional misconduct against Jackie-boy be kicked to
the state supreme court for action.
Three of the complaints deal with Mr. T's participation in the Strickland Vs/ Sony case in Alabama, GP reports.
In the suit, Thompson represented the families of two Fayette, Alabama police officers and a police dispatcher murdered by an 18-year-old Grand Theft Auto player in 2003. At the time of his arrest for the killings, Devin Moore reportedly said, "Life is like a video game. You have to die sometime." Moore, subsequently convicted of the murders, now sits on Alabama's Death Row. Thompson was not involved in the criminal case against Moore
GP reports in detail on the laundry list of complaints against the seemingly unstable attorney whose tirades against judges and attorneys after he loses a case are more memorable than anything he's actually done to further a case.
The other two complaints against Jack deal with his attacks on shock radio in south Florida. Apparently, while the targets for his vitriolic attacks change, his tactics do not.
Looking through the Florida Supreme Court's past rulings against attorneys, I'd guess we could expect to hear something on Jack in the next week or two at most.
Check back Monday for a fun little look at some of Jack's past run-ins with the Florida Bar, court documents included. It's a bit o fun. Brian Crecente
