Jack Thompson's fate announced today ... Wait, the ruling is delayed again?

Gothic Girl | 20 days ago | News | Misc 
Last week it was announced that, although Jack Thompson's bar trial finished last year, the final ruling of the trial will be delayed.
Gamers have been holding their breaths to know Thompson's fate... which was supposed to be announced today.
But it looks like we'll have to wait a few more months to find out what will happen to Wacko-Jacko. The judge residing over the case, Judge Dava Tunis, has issued another request for a delay on her final ruling - She wants to wait until August 31st to issue her report.

So what's Thompson going to do while waiting for the final sentence? By the looks of it, he's taken a liking to harassing poor old ladies in the meantime.
Judge Dava Tunis (left), who presided over Thompson’s 9-day trial late last year, has petitioned the Florida Supreme Court to grant her until August 31st to issue her report.

Judge Tunis cited several reasons for the delay, including:

quote
-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

    Jackass has just had the inevitable delayed for him. I bet he's going to make as much as a fuss as possible before his time comes once more though.

    Like i said before, it seems they are delaying it cause they want to back this guy up. I mean what other possible reason is there? He should've been disbarred a long time ago and put into a mental institution.
