Florida Bar Proposes Jack Thompson Submit to Psych Evaluation

The Florida Bar has proposed that everyone's favorite game hater, Jack Thompson, submit to psychological testing and a 91-day suspension of his law license. Well, maybe. This information comes to us from Jacko himself, via an email he sent to GamePolitics, so it could just be a postcard from his latest trip to crazytown and not a legitimate demand.

Thompson is currently in the middle of not one, but two lawsuits against the Bar which, in turn, has moved to instigate a disciplinary hearing against Thompson. Mediation talks are currently in progress, but, according to Thompson's email, not going all that well.

On Sunday, Thompson cc'd GamePolitics an email of what appears to be a filing with the Florida Supreme Court:

Mediation failed today because there was no mediation whatsoever… [Florida Bar official] Ms. Tuma not only did not move off her [suspension] demand one iota, not one smidgeon, but she instead upped her demand by requiring that Thompson undergo a battery of psychological tests as part of the fabulous deal The Bar offered him…

Ms. Tuma [sic] last demand going into the mediation was a 91-day suspension, and she opened and ended with that and a shrink’s couch. This is bad faith…

This "mediation" was a charade… Finally, [Thompson] requests a status conference herein as soon as possible so that we can… shut this Star Chamber down. Thompson is not the one who needs a psych evaluation.

Jack Thompson? Need a pysch evalution? Naaaaah......

UPDATE: The headline has been changed to make this post more accurate. Game|Life apologizes to Mr. Thompson for the error.
