WASHINGTON, D.C. — Judge Roy Pearson, the plaintiff in the $54 million lost-pants lawsuit against Custom Cleaners, broke down and cried during testimony in D.C. Superior Court last week, before reducing his claim to a comparatively reasonable $2.5 million.
“Never before in recorded history has a group of defendants engaged in such misleading and unfair business practices,” Pearson said in his opening statement. He then presented eight witnesses who related unhappy experiences with Custom Cleaners.
