A fool for a client

Knucklehead DC Judge Roy L Pearson is back in the news.

WASHINGTON - 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."

Pearson must be oblivious to the fact he is a national laughingstock. My blog post on this nitwit garnered over 35 comments, not one taking his side. Besides his obscene lawsuit, Pearson doesn't know who Clarence Darrow is and his famous advice to lawyers who want to represent themselves at trial. Why this man is on the bench instead of the lunatic asylum he rightly belongs in I don't know. I just know someone medicates Pearson before he tries ruining someone else's life.
