It looks like Jack Thompson is getting a lucky break in his Florida Bar Trial. Originally, the verdict was supposed to come last week, but Judge Dava Tunis has requested extra time to finish her reports by August 31st. Her reasoning makes her seem as though she may have already made her decision, itself.

-the need to wade through a 2,500 page transcript of the trial

-reviewing 76 exhibits encompassing another 1,700 pages

-dealing with 400 “pleadings, e-mails, letters and missives (including pictorials)” filed by Thompson since the trial ended in December, 2007.

-handling a full-time job on the criminal bench

Hopefully, she will be able to get this anti-videogame violence activist out of the hair of gamers everywhere.

For those that do not know who Attorney Jack Thompson is, take a look at his Wikipedia entry.
