Wacky Judge Roy L. Pearson lost his $54 million claim against Custom Dry Cleaners of Washington DC for losing his trousers... well he has lost this round and has been ordered to pay the defendants out of pocket costs.
District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff is still to rule if the suit was frivalous and possibly order Wacky Roy to pay up to $100,000 in legal fees for the Chungs. (ouch)
CNN on Judge Roy L. Pearson 25th June 2007 (story is preceded by a 15 second video advert)
Everyone expects Judge Pearson to appeal so chances are a new chapter in this sage will appear here soon! :D
Judge Roy Pearson received extensive local and national media coverage in early May 2007 for choosing to exploit Washington’s well-intentioned but loosely worded Consumer Protection and Procedures Act in suing a family-owned D.C. dry cleaner for more than $65 million — over a lost pair of suit pants.
His pants were even found a week or two later, plus the couple have offered him a $12,000 settlement to drop the matter... but still he has stubbornly pushed on with the case for more than 2 years, almost bankrupting his victims in the process.
June 11th was the Judges day in court and to show just how "reasonable" he actually is, reduced the claimed amount to just 54 Million bucks! LOL
Whatever weird, unusual and interesting videos I might come across whilst researching content for my other 2 video blogs, On This Day in Video and Conspiracy Video.
