JtjailGamePolitics asks if anti-game crusadin' attorney Jack Thompson might be thrown into jail. It seems as if Take-Two's attorneys are asking the judge in the Miami Bully case to find Thompson in contempt of court.

Although we haven’t yet seen the motion, the request would appear to relate to Thompson’s angry comments in the wake of Miami District Court
Judge Ronald Friedman’s refusal to block sales of Bully.

In a worst-case scenario for Thompson, the outspoken attorney could be jailed by Judge Friedman if he were ruled in contempt.

However, a knowledgeable legal source has told __GamePolitics __that options such as fines, judicial admonishment or censure are more likely.

Thompson has fired back in his usual manner -- check out GamePolitics for the response.
