Jack Thompson Facing Disbarment Trial

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.'"

He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

I hate that quote. I don't think I've ever heard someone use it correctly in real life. It's a warning against being a hypocrite. It does not mean that if you have ever messed up you don't have the right to criticize someone else. It means don't tell people stealing is wrong when you just took a five finger discount on a stereo.

I'd also like to point out, it is only about hypocrisy. If you used to steal, served your time, repented, are sorry, etc.. it's OK to tell other people stealing is wrong if you have learned not to and are not doing it now. You are not condemned forever for your one sin.
