The civil lawsuit in Alabama, denoted the "GTA Cop Killer Trial," will continue as planned, according to anti-game
activist Jack Thompson, recently
ousted from the trial for his antics. The lawsuit, filed
by families of the victims of Devin Moore, claim his actions have some correlation to his playing of Grand Theft
Auto. Sony, Take-Two, Rockstar, Wal-Mart, and GameStop have been listed as co-defendants.
That the lawsuit has been allowed to proceed means a lot of bad press against the industry for a long while -
regardless of the outcome, this could be appealed and stay in the headlines for long time. And let's not forget, Jack
Thompson can still be a witness for the plaintiffs.
