Jack Thompson began circulating emails today stating that Judge Dava Tunis, the referee during his November 2007 trial, has recommended a life-time disbarment.

"I got the always helpful Dava Tunis' final Referee's Report today," Thompson said in one email, "recommending a life-time disbarment (my life, not hers). The Bar only asked for ten years."

Thompson sent another email to the Florida Supreme Court informing them that "[Judge] Dava Tunis, the one who does not have a federally-mandated loyalty oath even to be on the bench, just today issued her final Referee's Report in the above matter, and she rejected The Bar's recommendation of a ten-year disbarment for me and instead is asking you to disbar me permanently with no opportunity ever to apply for reinstatement."

This story will doubtlessly continue to expand as the day continues. Stay tuned for any pertinent updates.
