Thompson Guilty of Most Misconduct Charges

27 of 31 Counts Stick; Discipline Pending

The judge residing over Jack Thompson’s misconduct trial in Florida has recommended 27 findings of guilt relating to 31 allegations of the attorney’s misconduct.

Now, the Florida Supreme Court will decide Mr. Thompson’s fate, based on those recommendations. Judge Dava Tunis actually issued a brief report last week on the case. A more detailed report is due to the FSC on September 2.

GamePolitics reports that these are among the charges which Mr. Thompson is recommended a guilty verdict on:

• 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

A disciplinary hearing will be held between Mr. Thompson and Judge Tunis on June 4th.
