Those must be some real nice pants.

And lawyers wonder why they have a bad reputation. I hope the dickhead gets disbarred.

I believe that he is the very definition of a ****tarded asshole.

They may want to review every decision this asshat has made.

I just posted this over on News & Sports. Not sure who posted first, but I'll go delete mine over there to avoid either of getting accused of d_b

I found the article on AOL and they link to a different version of the AP article that includes the following paragraph that the CNN doesn't have:

"There has been a significant groundswell of support for the Chungs," said Manning, adding that plans for a defense fund Web site are in the works.

Hey, give the guy a break. He probably had a phone number on a matchbook cover in those pants.

The first person to write about this story was Marc Fisher, a Metro columnist at the Washington Post. Great column:

I don't know that I'd call the column great.

My cleaner busted a button a shirt once, I'm asking for $5 million.

 

[qtlaw]

Its time for the "judge" to get slapped down.

 

[CapeCodder]

And maybe we don't need a ridiculous pun in every paragraph.

Although I like the option of being able to watch people shake their heads over "The Case Of The Missing Pants." That was my favorite Encyclopedia Brown mystery.

 

[outofplace]

Wow...for once I'm...speechless....well, almost....what a ****head!

 

[dog428]

There has to be some way these poor people can get their money back from this bull****.

What an ass. Really discouraging to me that some **** like this can happen. Really discouraging.

The brother's pissed. He liked those pants. His tenure as a judge has just ended. He wants to show people how the system can be manipulated.

It's true that Pearson's term as a judge expired last week, his bio was taken down from the Web site and, for now, he is no longer hearing cases.

But he remains on the D.C. payroll, "doing administrative work," said a senior city official who declined to be named because he was discussing a personnel matter. Pearson will be in paid limbo for weeks while a commission decides whether to reappoint him for a 10-year term to handle disputes with city agencies.

There is good reason to believe that Pearson might win a new term. Before the pants suit became a worldwide story, the city's chief administrative law judge, Tyrone Butler, recommended approval of Pearson's application based on his job performance, said D.C. Council member Phil Mendelson and three other sources with direct knowledge of the recommendation. Butler did not respond to a request for comment.

"Everyone agrees that to file a lawsuit asking for $65 million for a pair of pants is absolutely outrageous," the D.C. official said. "But we are trying to keep that out of the discussion about reappointment. I don't think it's appropriate not to reappoint someone just because they file a lawsuit. You can't retaliate against someone for exercising their constitutional, First Amendment right to file a lawsuit to vindicate their rights."

Why is this even a case?

Forget the attorney...

What judge lets it in his court?
