Quote: Thompson: Judge Recommends Permanent Disbarment
"Judge Dava Tunis recommended a permanent disbarment for Jack Thompson with no opportunity to apply for reinstatement, according to a mass email sent out by Thompson this afternoon."
The Florida Bar report states:
"The Florida Bar has recommended disbarment for a period of ten (10) years.
This Court respectfully declines to follow the Bar’s recommendation.
This Court bases its recommendation on the five (5) separate and distinct
cases presented...
...Over a very extended period of time involving a number
of totally unrelated cases and individuals, the Respondent has demonstrated a
pattern of conduct to strike out harshly, extensively, repeatedly and willfully to
simply try to bring as much difficulty, distraction and anguish to those he considers
in opposition to his causes. He does not proceed within the guidelines of
appropriate professional behavior, but rather uses other means available to
intimidate, harass, or bring public disrepute to those whom he perceives oppose
him.
Thus, after careful consideration of the underlying facts in the instant cases,
together with the Florida Standards for Imposing Lawyer Sanctions, the applicable
aggravating and mitigating factors and the precedent case law, this Court makes
the following recommendations for John Bruce Thompson:
A. Permanent disbarment, with no leave to reapply for admission.
B. Disciplinary costs currently totaling $43,675.35."
