Jack Thompson’s famous wrongful death lawsuit against Sony and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City’s publisher Take-Two was finally dismissed by a New Mexico Appeals court. The case concerned a tragic murder by 14-year old Cody Posey of his father, stepmother, and stepsister. While the murders were blamed on violent games, the boy suffered emotional, physical, and sexual abuse from his parents.

While the case originated way back in 2006, it has finally met its slow and painful death due to a technicality. Simply, the plaintiffs failed to appeal the case after it was initially dismissed in December of 2007. Thompson’s had his fair share of fiascos in his career, and this makes things look even more grim for the once-triumphant archduke of anti-video game crusading.
