A poster boy for the Democrats and tort bar

Would you believe this thug is still around.
Is this not a form of racial intimdation? A powerful black man intimidating an asian couple who are powerless.


'Pantsuit' Plaintiff Persists in Perversion of Consumer Protection Law Though a trial judge's June ruling went wholly against him, Legal Times reports that District of Columbia administrative law judge Roy Pearson Jr. has decided to take the internationally infamous $54 million "pantsuit" he's relentlessly waged against his neighborhood dry cleaners for more than two years to the D.C. Court of Appeals. ATRA co-hosted a successful July fundraiser for Jin & Soo Chung, the hardworking owners of Custom Cleaners, in an effort to offset some of the legal bills they had accrued (and will now continue to accrue throughout the appeals process). Those wishing to contribute to the cause still can at www.chungfundraiser.com. In the meantime, learn why ATRA calls the case a perversion of D.C.'s consumer protection law by reading what ATRA president Tiger Joyce had to say during the fundraiser. And to learn why ATRA opposes Pearson's reappointment to his judgeship -- with a six-figure salary at D.C. taxpayers' expense -- read Tiger's recent Washington Times commentary or this Washington Post letter to the editor from ATRA director of communications Darren McKinney.
July 24 Fundraiser for 'Pantsuit' Defendants
ATRA and its friends at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently co-hosted a successful fundraiser for Jin & Soo Chung, hardworking owners of a neighborhood dry cleaners and the defendants in the now internationally infamous $54 million "pantsuit." Nearly $70,000 has been raised so far to help the Chungs offset considerable legal bills and business losses that have resulted from the two-year litigation nightmare imposed on them by notorious plaintiff Roy Pearson. Pearson, believe it or not, is still on the local D.C. government payroll
as an administrative law judge earning more than $100,000 a year
and is expected to appeal the June 25 trial verdict
that went against him. Since the Chung's may therefore face additional
legal bills in connection with such an appeal, the fundraiser Web site, www.chungfundraiser.com, will remain up and running for at least several more weeks so anyone inclined to make a contribution can still do so. And anyone so inclined also can read what ATRA President Tiger Joyce had to say about this crazy case at the fundraiser news conference.

Dry Cleaners Win 'Pantsuit' Case, ATRA Presses Questions about Plaintiff's Fitness as Judge
ATRA welcomes the newly announced trial verdict favoring the owners of a Washington, D.C., dry cleaner who had been sued by administrative law judge Roy Pearson for tens of millions of dollars over a lost pair of pants. The multimillion-dollar consumer protection lawsuit had been characterized as "ludicrous" in a Washington Post editorial that also questioned Pearson's fitness for the bench. ATRA has raised similar concerns and is again asking both the D.C. Bar and the D.C. government to carefully reexamine Pearson's qualifications. Read details in ATRA's latest news release and recent Washington Times commentary.
And read full text of the trial judge's decision and judgment.
