    Default Judge sues dry cleaners

    Oh dear.

    What I want to know is, how would the pants have solved all of his personal problems?

    500 k for lawyer fees when he is the lawyer.
    54 million for what at most could have been $100 pants

    This case needs to be dismissed, the judge forced to pay the defendant's legal fees, and the judge put on an ethics hearing (judges are officers of the court, and thus have a professional responsibility not to waste the court's time). $54 million for pants? Would ANYONE buy that nonsense?

    Uh... yeah. Next time I buy something from anywhere with "satisfaction guaranteed" posted somewhere (basically any chain store), I'll pretend I'm sad over it and sue for $50 million for false advertising.


    Pearson then took the stand himself, detailing his own painful divorce and financial troubles and breaking down in tears, the blog said.
    ... relevance? How was that testimony even allowed?

    I think this is completely smurfed up and the Judge is being absolutely ridiculous and shameful in this matter. Seriously, that guy vindictive and mean. I feel sooooo bad for the Korean couple that has to go through this crap.

    Aye. I find it rather pathetic when guys like, what's his name again (the lawyer who hates games), sue companies because of something as idiotic as that, but one has to be truly sadistic to sue a family of Korean dry-cleaners. And he's supposed to represent the state and make judgements that can completely destroy people's lives. This is just disgusting.

    DON'T judge him!

    Yeah, this is utterly rediculous. He could very well be disbarred for this, if the course of action Raistlin pointed out is taken.

    Yeah I think that news article is a little fishy.

    And by fishy I mean they're leaving out important details to make this look more interesting than it really is.

    Suppose that it was because he had no pants that he was divorced, and after the divorce he lost a lot of money by falling back on drinking a lot to get over it... that would explain how a divorce and financial troubles could come out of a pair of lost pants.
