Jack Thompson, attorney at law and anti-videogame crusader, is now, for once, in line of fire. As he lost the case against Rockstar in Florida a week ago, where judge Ronald Friedman refused to restrict the sales of Bully, Thompson wrote a rather threatening letter to the judge.

Now Take Two is trying to see Jack Thompson found in contempt of court. The attorneys have filed a “Petition for Order to Show Cause”, which would see Thompson having to explain why his insults towards the judge should not be held in contempt. If found in contempt, he could be fined, censured, or even face jail time. Thompson replied:

“You want to play hardball…? You want to try to throw me in jail? You have no idea what you are unleashing in doing this. You’re at the brink…”

Thompson facing jail time is highly unlikely, and having Take Two fight back in this fashion means that Thompson gets even more publicity, spreading his propaganda even furhter out.
