The controversial, anti-game attorney Jack Thompson has submitted to a psychological evaluation, as per an earlier order from the Florida Bar and the results have come back. The purpose of the evaluation was to ascertain whether or not Thompson was suffering from any mental illness or disorder that would impair his practice, if he was obsessed with the prosecution of pornography and obscenity and the curtailing violent videogames marketed at minors. According to the evaluations, Thompson has been cleared of any mental deficiency.
The following contains selected paragraphs from the six-page report filed by the PhD.
The overall impression is that of a socially committed, and religiously devout man, of Superior Intellectual Functioning, who does not suffer from any major mental illness or impairment. He is deeply committed to personal betterment and social progress which he feels involves the regulation of exposure of minors to pornography, obscenity and violence.
Mr. Thompson appears to be a thoughtful, prosocial and erudite man whose life is anchored, fortified and enriched by his Evangelical Christianity. I find no evidence that his faith distorts, clouds or impairs his personal or professional judgment.
While Mr. Thompson displays certain areas of personal distress and difficulty, such problem areas are well within the range from which attorneys can and do practice competently and even expertly.
I asked Mr. Thompson about the hyperbole and sarcasm that I read in some of his motions/pleadings. He said that he realizes that he may have offended some with his ad hominem writings, and he will be more moderate in his writing style in the future.
