Disbarment seeked For Jack Thompson


For those of you who love to hate game-hating attorney Jack Thompson, your ship might have just come in. The start of the ethics trial for Thompson has begun, and the lawyer may be disbarred, which would prevent him from practicing law within Florida. The trial stems from several complaints about his professional conduct during several court cases against the video game industry.

From gamepolitics.com:

"Over the weekend, Thompson turned to the Florida Supreme Court in an apparent effort to block this morning’s trial from moving forward. In one court filing Thompson asserted that he was willing to accept a 90-day suspension of his license to practice law. The embattled attorney claimed that such an offer had been on the table, but that the Florida Bar was now seeking his permanent disbarment."

Talk about what goes around comes around!
I know I shouldn't feel this good about something bad happening to someone else, but I just can't stop giggling.
