According to GamePolitics the ever so popular Florida Attorney, Jack Thompson, has been thrown off the Devin Moore case. Early this month we reported that he had stepped down from the case, stating "the other side wants to make me the issue. The important thing is that the clients be served" and that "it was my idea" to leave the case. That decision came after the video game industry's lawyers asked for Thompson to be removed from the case and the removal of his Alabama bar license.
Instead of allowing Mr. Thompson to walk away quietly from the case Judge Moore decided to put in writing that he had been thrown off, with his license to boot. Said the Judge, "Mr. Thompson's actions before this Court suggest that he is unable to conduct himself in a manner befitting practice in this state."
Thompson responded with an angry letter to Alabama's Judicial Inquiry Commission, "I have had the disturbing experience of appearing before the above jurist in a high-profile wrongful death action, Strickland v. Sony... In my opinion, Judge Moore has violated...the Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics by his unfortunate, improper, and prejudicial acts in this case, at the expense of three bereaved Alabama families."
Till next time...
