Pearson Headlines a Real Kick in the Pants

The Roy Pearson Pants trial continues, and Marc Fisher does indeed have an entertaining post up about what's gone on so far today, including the introduction of The Pants in question:

The dramatic moment in Courtroom 415 at D.C. Superior Court revealed that yes, the pants look like they are part of a suit, and yes, the dry cleaners attached to these pants a tag with the same numbers that appeared on the receipt Pearson got for his suit. But Pearson still denies these are his pants, and still demands $54 million, though he has not yet wept today.

Read the whole thing, especially toward the end when Pearson describes his legal definition of "Satisfaction Guaranteed." Presiding Judge Judith Bartnoff is allowing the trial to proceed after a motion to dismiss was made by defense counsel.

This trial has been incredibly fun for us to follow, for reasons not the least of which include the insane amount of media coverage it has received all over the world. No one, it seems, fails to be amused by the story of Judge Pearson and the sad, sad story of his missing pants. After scouring the Internet for all the different stories about this case (there are hundreds), we've compiled a list of some of our favorite headlines so far. Copy editors of the world thank you for making their jobs more fun, Judge Pearson.
