Final Cut for Roy Pearson Suit - He loses Job
Statue of Lady Justice at Dublin Castle
Because I am an atheist what I am about to say will astound you: The Sword of Justice has struck Judge Roy L. Pearson forcing me to admit that "There really is a God!"
Here's the story:
Washington Post, 31 Oct 2007, Judge Who Lost Pant Suit Loses Job
Roy L. Pearson Jr., the administrative law judge who lost his $54 million lawsuit against a Northeast Washington dry cleaner, lost his job yesterday and was ordered to vacate his office, sources said.
Pearson, 57, who had served as a judge for two years, was up for a 10-year term at the Office of Administrative Hearings, but a judicial committee last week voted against reappointing him.
...
A source familiar with the committee's meetings said Pearson's lawsuit played little role in the decision not to reappoint him.
As for that last statement, Doug Mataconis over at Below The Beltway had this to say:
Roy Pearson Finally Loses His Job
And anyone who thinks that the committee would have reached this decision were it not for the bright light of publicity shined upon it thanks to the outrage over Pearson’s court frivolities, there’s a bridge I’d like to sell to you.
