REDSKYYY Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 the judge who presided over Jack Thomson's Bar trial has recommended that that the attorney, who many find to be controversial, be found guilty of 27 out of the 31 misconduct charges (all but 2 video game related). The case is now headed to the Florida Supreme Court for a final ruling. "Tunis made 21 recommendations of guilt in relation to Thompson's participation in Strickland vs. Sony, an Alabama case in which the anti-game attorney represented the families of two police officers and a police dispatcher slain by 18-year-old Grand Theft Auto player Devin Moore. Tunis also recommended that Thompson be found guilty on four out of five counts relating to his 2006 attempt to have Rockstar's Bully declared a public nuisance in a case before Miami Judge Ronald Friedman. An additional two guilty counts stemmed from a non-video game matter. Among the Florida Bar offenses for which Judge Tunis has recommended a guilty verdict: Knowingly making a false statement of material fact or law to a tribunal Knowingly disobeying an obligation under the rules of a tribunal Communicating the merits of the case with a judge before whom the proceeding is pending Using means that have no purpose other than to embarrass, delay or burden a third person Engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation Engaging in conduct in connection with the practice of law that is prejudicial to the administration of justice, including to knowingly or through callous indifference disparage or humiliate litigants or other lawyers Making statements that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to the truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge Judge Tunis's full report to the Florida Supreme Court is due on September 2nd. In the meantime, a disciplinary hearing regarding possible sanctions against Thompson will be held before Judge Tunis on June 4th." Will he serve time? Will he fix the problem with money. Discuss.

dr benway Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 yeah i've heard about this guy and the dude's a c*nt. many people today aren't realizing that the "video game" is constantly evolving and the games out today aren't the mario bros and pac-man that were child-friendly in their days. once they realize the video games today are the equivalent of movies you can participate in and should be held in the same regard as movies nowadays (as far as trying to stop them. movies have ratings and so do video games now.) we'll eventually see a decline in blaming a video game on teaching violence to kids. basically, gta teaches violence the same way the film pulp fiction does: it's entertaining but the already sane folks don't act violently b/c of them. so essentially, the public will realize they need to judge games on such a level in the future and we wont have to hear sh*t like this guy's anymore eventually.

GiveMeLiberty78 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Ironic, isn't it? I mean, he campaigned tirelessly against GTA - the perfect scapegoat, of course - to fight what he called a "crime" and yet now he could well be in the dock 'n behind bars. Pfft, what a twat, haha! Or, to put it another way: Good riddance to that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cps82 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah, there was already a thread but I really don't mind him, hear me out: his credibility was lost a long time ago and now he is just a joke, everybody knows/sees it except for himself. To me that's funny, let him carry on his ridiculous antics, gives me something to read and chuckle about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
