Yep, there it is, Mr. Thompson's address and such. Perhaps some here were looking for the literal 'Jack' not realizing that Jack is a nickname for John. Then again, I seem to remember John Kennedy was often called Jack by many close to him.

GORE CHIEF COUNSEL BOIES ACCUSED OF FILING FALSE AFFIDAVIT WITH SUPREME COURT AND LYING TO SECOND COURT

"Piggybacked Falsehoods" to help Al Gore by deceiving Judges
By: Hal Turner

The Hal Turner Radio Show has obtained documents implicating Vice President Al Gore's Chief Lawyer David Boies in willfully filing a false affidavit to deceive the Florida Supreme Court, then using the ruling obtained through deception to deceive a second Florida court.

According to electronic documents provided by Florida Attorney Jack Thompson, Boies filed a false Affidavit with the Florida Supreme Court concerning the outcome of an Illinois Court Case over "dimpled chads."

Thompson says the Boies affidavit mischaracterized this key case by representing to the Florida Supreme Court that the Illinois Court approved the counting of dimpled chads when, in fact, the ruling differed. This misrepresentation of a key case figured prominently in the Florida Supreme Court ruling favoring
Vice President Al Gore by extending the deadline for manual recounting of Ballots.

Boies then allegedly deceived Judge N. Sanders Sauls who is presiding over the "Election Contest" by falsely telling Judge Sauls that a Judge in Palm Beach County was violating the Supreme Court Ruling.

Thompson charged that Boies "piggybacked two falsehoods to enhance a client's litigation fortunes." Boies client is Vice President Al Gore.

Before releasing this information to the Hal Turner Radio Show, Mr. Thompson sent letters to the office of David Boies outlining these issues and demanding that Boies advise both the Florida Supreme Court and Judge Sauls of these deceptions. Thompson demanded an answer from Boies by 5:00 PM yesterday
under threat of Thompson alerting the Courts to these deceptions on his own.

According to Thompson, Boies did not reply, prompting Thompson to contact the Courts himself.
Copies of the correspondence from Thompson to Boies and to the Court, appear below.

Re: False Representation to Florida Supreme Court about
Illinois "Dimpled Chad" Case

Dear Mr. Boies:

It has come to my attention, and I am sure it has come to yours
as well, that you falsely characterized the court's ruling in the
Illinois "dimpled chad" case.

You told the Florida Supreme Court last week that that case
allowed the hand recounting of dimpled chads. Our state's high
court seemed impressed with that fact.

One problem, though. A big problem. The Illinois court ruled just
the opposite way, disallowing the counting of dimpled chads.
The affidavit you relied upon is false, and you now know that it is
false.

You have a clear and mandatory duty immediately to inform the
Florida Supreme Court of your misrepresentation to the seven
Justices in this critical regard.

Any failure on your part is clearly subject to review and discipline
by the appropriate authorities because such a failure would
constitute an ethical breach on your part which compromises
justice and is prejudicial to the opposing parties.

You have until five o'clock p.m., Tuesday, November 28, 2000, to
inform me by fax at the above number that you have alerted the
Florida Supreme Court of your misrepresentation.

Best, John B. Thompson

Re: Patently False Representations in Your Courtroom by David Boies

Dear Judge Sauls:

Transmitted under cover of this letter are two other letters sent to Mr.
Boies, who is presently appearing before you. These letters ask him correct
a series of falsehoods made both to the Florida Supreme Court and now to you.

As you know, you have the option or discretion to address possible
ethical breaches by lawyers who appear before you.

I have no option. I am duty-bound by the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar to
apprise you of the information contained in these two attached letters. It
would be unethical for me, under our Rules, not to.

If you want me to come to your courtroom immediately to apprise you of the
details of Mr. Boies' conduct, I shall do so upon a moment's notice.

Best, Jack Thompson

Re: Your Newest Courtroom Misrepresentation, This One to Judge Sauls

Dear Mr. Boies:

There you go again. It has now been reported on Fox News by
highly-regarded journalist Brit Hume, that yesterday you told Leon County
Circuit Court Judge N. Sanders Sauls, who is presiding over the contest suit,
that the Palm Beach County Judge violated the Florida Supreme Court's ruling
when he prohibited the Palm Beach canvassing board from hand recounting
dimpled chads.

Just the opposite, as you know, is the case. The Judge ruled that the
canvassing board could count dimpled chads, and that they should do so in a
reasonable way applying their own rules That is why the Palm Beach
canvassing board used the following standard: if an individual ballot
displayed a number of dimpled chads, including one for his/her presidential
selection, then this was evidence of that voter's propensity to wield the
stylus in that fashion. But if only the presidential chad was dimpled on an
otherwise nicely-punched ballot for the other candidates, then that chad
would not be counted for either candidate.

So, look what you have now done: You have misrepresented to the Florida
Supreme Court, with both a false affidavit and a false characterizing of a
key case, that the Illinois Supreme Court ordered the counting of dimpled
chads. You were caught in this falsehood by the Chicago Tribune last
Thursday.

Then you have taken that Florida Supreme Court ruling, obtained through
falsehoods, to the Judge before whom you are now appearing and said yesterday
that the Palm Beach Judge is disobeying that Florida Supreme Court ruling,
which he is not!

You have thus unethically piggybacked two falsehoods to enhance your
client's litigation fortunes. What is next? That the peaceful protesters in
Miami-Dade last Wednesday fired shots?

Mr. Boies, I went to Vanderbilt Law School with your client, Al Gore. Al
dropped out before he took our mandatory third-year class entitled "Legal
Ethics," which then was not an oxymoron. Al's non-attendance is maybe an
excuse for his antics in the past three weeks.

But you have none. Either correct both your patently false affidavit and
patently false argument to the Florida Supreme Court AND your patently false
statement to Judge Sauls by five o'clock p.m. today, or I shall proceed.

GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY.


Best, Jack Thompson
