$54 million dollar pants man loses job
WASHINGTON - A judge who lost a $54 million lawsuit against his dry cleaner over a pair of missing pants has lost his job, District of Columbia officials said.

Roy Pearson's term as an administrative law judge expired May 2 and the D.C. Commission on Selection and Tenure of Administrative Law Judges has voted not to reappoint him, Lisa Coleman, the city's general counsel, wrote Nov. 8 in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from The Associated Press.

4. Good. Fuckin' jackass. I hope no firm will hire him, either.
Let him sit and contemplate for the rest of his life whether destroying a couple's livelihood because of a pair of mishandled pants was worth it.

6. I'm sure the business owners who lost their business paying for defense lawyers
are just thrilled.

They should counter-sue, but of course, they probably can't afford it now.

7. did they lose the business? i thought their attorney was being VERY generous with the fees
seems like i read somewhere that their attorney was deeply discounting their defense, and that there were LDF fundraisers and that they were getting donations and stuff.

8. I'd read that they had to shut down
if not, then that's cool.

10. Is it wrong to hope that piece of shit ends up homeless
and panhandling for the rest of his life? Because that's what I would like to see happen to that fuckwad.
