Well, Jack is not in jail... yet.

Because of all the hubbub Jack has generated, Judge Friedman decided to indeed recuse himself from the case, after filing a complaint with the Florida Bar against Jack, stating that "I'll let Thompson be someone else's problem."

Thompson was reportedly in rare form, apparently finding it appropriate to bring a large posterboard sign into the court, with the judge at one point warning him "If you touch that thing one more time..." And at one point, four police officers were brought into the courtroom.

Thompson for his part, issued one of his lengthy press releases earlier today accusing Bully of "clearly teaching kids to be violent in response to bullying" (and name dropping Columbine again), and claiming that the game "routinely rewards the use of explosives, slingshots point blank to the face and the crushing of craniums with baseball bats and metal fire extinguishers." He claims that Take Two lied about the content of the game and now he's still going to get his injunction against them.

He explains away his violation of the gag order by basically alleging the judge violated his own orders and promises and thus made it okay for Thompson to "blow the whistle" on him, and implied the judge is out only for revenge.

He also tries to explain away all this as merely his own First Amendment rights, and tries to tack on a bit about how Bully is pornographic merely because it allows (not mandates or even encourages, just allows) boy-on-boy kissing.

So: Sum total, Jack has yet another Bar complaint against him, and has simply delayed the contempt charges a few days as they go in front of another judge for whom Jack won't be able to pull the bias argument.
