A Miami lawyer's tirade included letters to judges, game makers and the backers of Howard Stern's radio show.
A lawyer who has crusaded against video game violence faces disbarment proceedings over allegations of professional misconduct. Jack Thompson tried to prevent Bully from hitting the market and sued video game makers claiming they caused real-life violence. He also waged a letter-writing campaign to call attention to his cause, which is to stop violence and sex in media. In a 40-page brief, the Florida Bar Association said this week that it is currently attempting to discipline him. . . .
Thompson has written dozens of letters and filed complaints criticizing an Alabama judge, a law firm representing video game makers, the video game makers themselves and backers of Howard Stern's radio show. The letters sent to the president, the U.S. attorney general, the Alabama Bar Association, a former Republican National Committee chairman and others, state that Thompson is being targeted in a conspiracy by several corrupt groups and individuals. . . .
[T]hompson's ire spread to several law professionals involved in the lawsuits he filed. The disbarment proceedings resulted from separate grievances filed by people claiming that Thompson made false statements and attempted to humiliate, embarrass, harass or intimidate them, according to documents in the case.
