$54 million dry cleaner case settled

Fair use:
"Judge Bartnoff has spoken loudly in suggesting that, while consumers should be protected, abusive lawsuits like this will not be tolerated," Manning said in a statement. "Judge Bartnoff has chosen common sense and reasonableness over irrationality and unbridled venom."

I hope he has to pay the legal fees and some punitive damages as well. While they are at it, there is probably grounds for a civil rights lawsuit.

Pearson should be disbarred for abuse of the legal system also. He has shown he does not have enuf sense to be a Lawyer, much less a Judge.

And they may sue for the "thousands of dollars of legal fees". Wouldn't blame them. I'd be mad as hell.

I thought I heard they had denied his renewal of his license or certification or whatever? Perhaps it was someone else I heard of.

i don't think he should be a judge or a lawyer or anything, but of course no matter what happens, just like nifong, he will end up being some high paid consultant.

Its about time. This kind of thing has to stop. But you know this guy is arrogant, and felt that he could get some press for this law suit.
