Needless to say this might be just a "wee bit" excessive.

$67 Million Trousers (http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=3119381)

Wow I totally just read this whole article from the DrudgeReport!

people like that (pearsons) give this country a bad name.

-Steakboy

yup -- another perfect example of this country going down the tubes. If this dumbass is given any kind of serious thought, pffft its just retarded. Those poor dry cleaner owners.

Yes it sucks that the pants were lost - but shit happens and guess what? They were JUST PANTS for fuck sake. They offered him $12,000 and he refused. He came back what? 2 or 3 years after the fact and started this shit? That would be like me coming back and suing mcdonalds for fucking up my $0.99 cheeseburger for lunch I had back in 2004.

The fact that this guy is a judge too and does this kind of stuff? I think he should be compensated for the pants, but if he refuses that he can fuckoff. If he wont go away I'd fine him for wasting the courts time.

American greed and stupidity at its best.

I am suing mazda for crappy servi...

hey theres a moneymaker!

wait this is a Judge doing this?! Remove his ass from the bench he clearly has a screw loose.

That's disgusting.

d-bag. hopefully he never started that "new job" as a judge.

The case should be thrown out of court - tho I'm a bit confuzzled as to why it has NOT been thrown out already. Best case scenario - it gets thrown out of court b/c it's frivolous and the Korean family files a counter suit and takes everything this d8ck has.

people like that sooooo piss me off . . . http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r39/dmc27sinned/smiley/combust.gif

The problem is, it is an actual law. I just hope no jury gives this guy crap.

Laws are written by legislators and interpreted by judges. Let's just hope the judge that decides on this case isn't a POS like this Pearsons clown.

I would've walked away with 12,000 dammit. lol

I love how he wants to charge them so he can rent a car and do his dry cleaning somewhere else


I hope he gets hit by lightning

This guy is a disgrace to the robe. I hope he burns in hell

this guy is seriously representing everything i find offensive in a human being: greed, gluttony, sheer vile contempt for the weak and innocent, and a manipulative exploiter of a poorly thought out system. I hope he's found in an alley somewhere with his pants shoved down his throat and pulled out his ass :wallbash: :cussing:

The guy should be disbarred for such idiocy... :mad:

Don't forget bigot. He prlly tells himself he's part of the solution by sticking it to these "foreigners".

The case is clearly absurd. Even more absurd is the very real chance that this so called officer of the court, could receive a new 10 year term to continue to adjudicate cases. The sad thing is that in D.C. he will likely receive another term.

It's amazing the case has not been thrown out by now. I hope the judge finds that Mr. Pearson should pay all the legal costs of the Korean immigrants Jin and Soo Chung and their son, who own Custom Cleaners.

He just killed his career as a judge and an attorney. What a stupid burden us taxpayers have to put up with because of clowns like this. They should all be banished from this country.

"He's suing for 10 years of weekend car rentals so he can transport his dry cleaning to another store."

WALK you lazy ass! or buy some dryel.

He's a dirtbag for sure but I don't like that the dry cleaning owners are viewed as victims. Some of these dry cleaners can be downright uncompromising and straight up rude. Not saying they were, but it's an element left out of the story.

The guy suing has lowered the amount he is seeking. He now "only" wants $54 Million



WASHINGTON (AP) — A judge who was seeking $67 million from a dry cleaners that lost his pants has loosened the belt on his lawsuit.
Now, he's asking for only $54 million, according to a May 30 court filing in D.C. Superior Court.

Roy L. Pearson, a District of Columbia administrative law judge, first sued Custom Cleaners over a pair of pants that went missing two years ago. He was seeking about $65 million under the D.C. consumer protection act and almost $2 million in common law claims.

He is now focusing his claims on signs in the shop that have since been removed. The suit alleges that Jin Nam Chung, Soo Chung and Ki Chung committed fraud and misled consumers with signs that claimed "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Same Day Service."

But Chris Manning, the Chungs' attorney, says that can be considered fraud only if the signs misled a "reasonable" person. No reasonable person, he says, would interpret them to be an unconditional promise of satisfaction.

Pearson, who is representing himself, said in an e-mail that the focus of the case, from the start, was based on the "false, misleading and fraudulent advertisements displayed by the Chungs."

wow, i'd like to take pearson to the cleaners myself, beat some sense into him rinse and repeat.

How can anyone take this clown serious, how is he even still a judge.

I read this article sometime ago, it's not uncommon for a greedy and/or racist person to use these sort of methods to force immigrants that he/she doesn't like out of the country. It's basically harassment until the victims are so sick of it that they move back to their country of origin.

Someone actually tried to do that to a girl I was dating who lived in NYC. I forgot the exact details but basically what happened was she accidentally tapped a taxi's back bumper....literally tapped. The taxi didn't sustain any damage. The driver who stepped out and looked at it even shrugged his shoulders and didn't think anything about it. Six months later the passenger of that taxi sent a letter to her family demanding $5 million for injuries sustained from this "accident" and the ensuing suffering. Her dad basically told her to screw off and call their insurance company, after 6 months insurance finally got the bs lawsuit dropped because they found witnesses to the event.

Need to counter sue people like this, for undue strain.

Forget countersue, in this case lengthy jailtime is more appropriate.

Pants him!

Or, since he's a judge, he should be DISROBED!

Hmm, could we make it that the loosing Attorney in any Tort is responsible for 50% of the damages awarded? Then they would do their research before ever bringing suite or taking on a defendant.

A defendant that could not get an attorney would then have the suite settled through a fair and fixed compensation table based on actual losses. Large corporations, or anybody with an attorney on retainer or employed by them would not be able to use the compensation tables (hmm put a damper on retainers.... but is that really a bad thing?) This would lead to -

:D: Attorneys suing Attorneys :D:

... and that would be a bad thing why??? :dunno:
