Does Roy Pearson not have anyone in his life, say a family member or a friend, to smack him upside the head and tell him to stop being so crazy? The Examiner and the Associated Press are both reporting this morning that Pearson, the man who sued the owners of Custom Cleaners for $54 million over a misplaced pair of pants and then subsequently lost his job as an administrative law judge, has filed suit to get his job back and for $1 million in damages.
Pearson claims in his lawsuit that the commission that voted not to renew his judicial appointment used the negative media attention surrounding the pants saga to wrongfully terminate him, when they were really retaliating against him for exposing corruption within his department. The Examiner quotes sources as saying that Pearson was fired because he showed a lack of judicial judgment and temperament.
Regular readers know that we’ve posted about the Pearson pants lawsuit extensively, often times with an accompanying graphic of a pair of pants. With this latest move, Pearson has finally prompted us to illustrate a story about him with a pair of clown pants. Is there anything more to say?
