What do you suppose he is really thinking? That he wants the business to go under so a new dry cleaner will open there?

And how in the hell will he get 65 million out of a family owned dry cleaner? Does he think that all the dry cleaners pool their money or something? Because I think 12K was WAY too much for his whiny ass, but that's realistic to what they could have afforded.

That judge is so stupid. Didn't the article say that he had those same pair of pants back?!? Dry cleaners make mistakes all the time, and he just needs to suck it up and move on with life. I seriously hope and pray that he is disbarred (or whatever the term is).

Both of my brothers-in-law are well known and highly respected attorneys in Ohio.
They are exceptionally good men, I think, and I respect them and thier profession for the most part.
This kind of thing gives the legal profession a black eye, though.
I can only shake my head in disbelief.

26 Miles Across The Sea?
It's his lucky pants!!! He never takes them off while flying high above the skyscrappers!
It reminds me of the Catalina Island song...

Santa Catalina is the place for me

No pants!!!

Am I the only one who doesn't hope that the dry cleaners involved file a countersuit for defamation and sue the pants off of this judge?

I'm up here in the District and word is the cleaners are going under trying to pay for this case. So now there's a website up where people can help them out and donate money http://www.customcleanersdefensefund.com/

Their case info site says that the trial is over and they're expecting a verdit next week.
ETA: It also said that their final settlement offer was $12,000 and if he doesn't win more than that, he will have to pay their legal fees.
I doubt any judge in their right mind would reward more than $12,000 for a pair of pants. Especially when he's representing himself.

I think that whatever this lawyer wins might just be taken away from him by a subsequent Rule 11 (sanctions) motion.
I've seen the statute in question. I think the pants owner has a basic case according to the law. It's just that one of the rules of statutory interpretation is that the law should not be interpreted so as to achieve an absurdity. If that is true, I've never seen a more accurate place for that to be true.
The fair thing to do here would be for the judge to award the plaintiff whatever it costs to buy a new pair of pants which were like the ones he had before (the law doesn't care if they're lucky). Then, I think the judge ought to award the dry cleaners their attorney's fees -- payable by the plaintiff since the plaintiff has unreasonably spurned a number of settlement offers.
I don't know if that can be done, but that's what I'd like to see.
