The always-controversial attorney and outspoken activist Jack Thompson finds himself in hot water today, after a Florida Bar judge has recommended that he be found guilty of 27 separate charges of misconduct.

The vast majority of the charges are in relation to two videogame-related cases that Thompson argued before courts in Alabama and Florida, both of which had to do with Rockstar games Grand Theft Auto and Bully.

GamePolitics reports that Judge Dava Tunis’ recommendations will now pass to the Florida Supreme Court, who will issue the final rulings. Tunis’ complete report is due to the Supremes by September 2, but the next step of the process is a disciplinary hearing to be held before Judge Tunis next month.

Some of the examples of misconduct that Thompson (pictured above in the film Moral Kombat) is charged with include “knowingly making a false statement of material fact or law to a tribunal” and “engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.”
