An initial hearing was held in the contempt hearing requested by Take-Two’s lawyers, Blank-Rome. (See Destructoid’s Youtube video of the proceeding below). Judge Friedman accused Thompson of wanting the judge to provide him with a soapbox – something he refused to do. After Thompson argued openly and personally with the judge, Judge Friedman then informed Thompson that he was going to personally file a complaint against Thompson with the Florida Bar and because of that he went on to recuse himself from further contempt hearings. At one point the Judge seemingly threatened Thompson with immediate incarceration if he continued to hold up a large bristol-board presumably showing the Court’s contempt rules. Neiro at Destructoid took a Video of Initial Contempt Hearing on YouTube.
