No more Alabama law practice for Jack...

Jack Thompson Thrown off Alabama Case by Judge

Here's an except of the important bits:

It appeared at that point that Thompson's longtime colleague Ray Reiser would take over for him in Strickland. Today, however, in a blistering 18-page decision, Judge Moore excoriated Thompson's professional conduct, and rejected his attempt to withdraw from the case. Instead, the Judge revoked Thompson's Pro Hac Vice admission, essentially removing him from the case. Judge Moore also noted that he was referring the matter to the Disciplinary Commission of the Alabama Bar for "appropriate action."

Judge Moore employed quite stern language in his ruling. His remarks include, "Mr. Thompson's actions before this Court suggest that he is unable to conduct himself in a manner befitting practice in this state."

For his part, Thompson has responded with an angry letter to Alabama's Judicial Inquiry Commission, questioning Judge Moore's ethics. Thompson's letter begins:

"I have had the disturbing experience of appearing before the above jurist in a high-profile wrongful death action, Strickland v. Sony... In my opinion, Judge Moore has violated...the Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics by his unfortunate, improper, and prejudicial acts in this case, at the expense of three bereaved Alabama families."

He thought he could withdraw and get away with it. Sorry, it doesn't work like that, Jack. Also, don't you just love how when something doesn't go Jack Thompson's way he writes insulting, childish letters about people? In addition it was all his fault because he got caught being a jackass and was rightfully punished... but he tries to bring the victims' families into it for guilt/pity! That dirty bastard deserves everything he gets. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that he gets disbarred in both Florida and Alabama.

EDIT: The title should have a question mark.

"befitting" is definitely part of the southern dialect, although I imagine it was pronounced "befittin'".
