Judge sues dry cleaner for $54 million over pants.

"Pearson said that he wants only $2 million in damages for himself — for his mental anguish and inconvenience — plus $500,000 in attorney's fees for representing himself. Anything more that Bartnoff might award him would go into a fund "to educate people of their rights under the Consumer Protection Act," he said."

I would like to know why he's asking for attorney's fees for representing himself. Is he charging himself $500,000? If not, how can that be considered an attorney fee?

I hope a steamroller runs him over.

I really do.

The trial proved nearly as dramatic -- and unusual -- as the plaintiff's claims. On the witness stand, Pearson broke down in tears and had to take a break from his testimony because he became too emotional while questioning himself about his experience with the missing trousers.

Oh, he lost, by the way.

What a dolt. At least there IS some justice still left in America.

He should appeal imo, clearly an unfair ruling.

Appeal and ask for double.
