A Washington D.C. dry cleaners says its their business a long-time customer is taking to the cleaners. A $10 dry cleaning bill for a pair of lost trousers has ballooned into a $67 million civil lawsuit.
Wonder what party he votes with?
I may have a favorite pair of pants or a pair that feels a little more comfortable than others but who in the world has a “prized pair of pants”? What does that mean and who would ever believe they are worth $67M?
I take it this guy is against tort reform.
Of course his pants are worth $67mm.
He must make John Edwards proud!
(Ducking for cover, running for exit.)
Cheers!
Wow I think this is a case of “taken it to the cleaners”...
He sounds like another Mike Nifong.
Why was this case ever allowed to reach the court system.
I do hope he loses and has to pay all attorney bills involved for a frivolous lawsuit.
Guess he’s going to press his suit.
this clown should be strung up by the pants in the question if that’s at all possible
Are they “Magic Pants?”
When he looses this case, will he sue McDonalds for his lard butt?
Not Possible
He sounds like another Mike Nifong.
or Ronnie Earl
Why was this case ever allowed to reach the court system.
Because he is a shyster and has the full support of the American Association for Justice (or whatever the shysters are calling themselves these days).
I do hope he loses and has to pay all attorney bills involved for a frivolous lawsuit.
Not gonna happen. In D.C. the jury will probably award him triple of what he is asking for.
The owner’s offered him more and more, eventually $12K - and he refused. Case closed. In most places, the limit of liability ends at the cost of replacement. And the “Satisfaction Guaranteed” sign - that usually also includes “or your money back”....
Imagine the deep misery this just must be in on a daily basis...
I foresee a lifetime without satisfaction for this judge.
LOL:)
Mr. Fancy Pants is upset?
Was this what got Cho Seung-Hui so upset?
I am really surprised that this judge has not been brought up on charges of violating the Judicial Cannons or put on probation with the local Bar Association. 2 years in court? I am surprised that this case was not move to limited jurisdiction which in California is $25k or less.
Obviously this judge has some pull or power and no one wants to wrinkle his dry cleaning :)
You can’t tell me that the Courts and Judges in this jurisdiction think this case is FLY!!??!!??!!
A Good Example why this country is in the dire shape that it is.
Saw this on TV, so egregious, I thought you’d like to read about it and gag.
I hope this “judge” has to pay millions to the dry cleaner. grrrrrrr
judge roy pearson is active in the dc chapter of the national council of black lawyers
nice
If I took any air of pant that I owned and had them plated in solid gold, it still wouldn’t be worth $67 million.
