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. ^.^

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.
