Thumbs up Jack Thompson Recommended for 10-year Disbarment - 06-04-2008, 05:04 PM

Infamous anti-game litigator Jack Thompson walked out of his scheduled disciplinary hearing before the Florida Bar this afternoon, after which the Bar recommended an "enhanced disbarment" prohibiting the attorney from practicing law for ten years. According to Kotaku, Thompson left the courtroom after saying that presiding Judge Dava Tunis did not have the authority to hear his case, and filed a 4,500 word objection to the hearing prior to his departure. The hearing continued without Thompson, after which the Florida Bar recommended enhanced disbarment.
Thompson was found guilty of 27 counts of misconduct last month for his participation in several video game-related cases.
