Jack Thompson Facing Disbarment Trial

Posted by Zonk on from the facing-the-music dept.

pwizard2 writes "Gamepolitics reports that controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson faces the start of an ethics trial this morning, a process which could ultimately see him disbarred. The review board has set aside the entire week to hear details on the case. '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.'"

    I'm hoping he gets disbarred then offs himself violently... that way, gamers can show the world what we're *really* about by merely cracking up at the notion.

    I hope the bastard gets disbarred, and good riddance; he's one step away from Fred Phelps levels of idiocy. The collective IQ of the lawyersphere will go up several points. We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

    Thompson claims that the complaints violate state religious protections because his advocacy is motivated by his Christian faith.

    That's right folks. You can be a douche, as long as you do it in the name of Christ. Jack Thompson confirms it.
