This has to be a day that many people have been looking forward to. No matter if you’re a gamer or not, you’ve more than likely heard of the obtuse “lawyer” named Jack Thompson. Well, the huge anti-gaming attorney has finally received his comeuppance.

Judge Dava Tunis found Thompson guilty of 27 out of 31 charges that were filed against him from a Devin Moore case, when he tried to declare Bully a public nuisance and 2 other video games including the following charges:

  • 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
  • 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.

A disciplinary hearing will be held on June 4 while the full report to the Florida Supreme Court is due September 2.

Personally, finding out this news has made me incredibly happy. My only hope is that it goes far enough to get him disbarred. Nothing would be finer…
