Jack Thompson Withdraws from GTA Case

Controversial Miami-based attorney Jack Thompson has withdrawn from an Alabama lawsuit amid allegations that he violated legal ethics rules. The lawsuit, Strickland vs. Sony, was filed against retailers and publishers of the Grand Theft Auto series. Thompson had previously been representing the case’s plaintiffs — the families of a pair of police officers and a police dispatcher who were murdered by Devin Moore, who claimed that the GTA games helped “train” him to kill. Moore was convicted of the crime and sentenced to death.
