From $54 mil to zip... no, less than zip.

Remember the $54 million lawsuit over a pair of missing pants?

The presiding judge made the decision today.  Roy L. Pearson gets nothing -- the dry cleaners won, and will be able to seek sanctions and lawyers fees.

News reports say he's got a history of such lawsuits, and that his term as a judge is under question now. They may actually bar him from the bench and strip him of his license, so he's probably going to loose his shirt.

I guess the folks over at Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, on NPR will have to find someone else to make fun of next week. ^.^

Good. Fuckwits like this guy do not need to be in any sort of authoritarian position.
Now if only we could weed out the rest...

I'm glad it's turning out the way it is. 54 million for a pair of pants... come on! That guy was giving the entire American legal system a worse name then it actually has.
