[...] How many of you remember Roy Pearson, the (now former) DC judge who sued for $54 million over a pair of pants? [...]

Oh and by the way – lets not forget that this judge treated HIS OWN WIFE like a criminal. What makes you think that being Korean has anything to do with his stupid acts?

Comeon now. This guy will pounce on anyone; black, white, asian – WHOEVER!!

Why does everyone who talks about this case assume that ALL African Americans have problems with Asians!? Not only is this RIDICULOUS – it is just plain stupid!

I am an African American woman currently living in CA (originally from Philadelphia) who was living in L.A. when the King thing occurred.

During that time – the beef was mostly between the Blacks and Hispanics – NOT THE KOREANS! You have got to be kidding me.

There is no denying that this guy totally took advantage of the legal system to the point where these unfortunate people had to suffer as they did.

It is my hope that the DC laws are reviewed to ensure that this never happens again.

And please – don’t make this a racial issue. I have family members of all walks of life and to suggest that African Americans have problems with Koreans is just plain retarded! Sounds like you should be looking at yourself…

I think it is highly inappropriate to bring up race as an issue here. This has nothing to do with race. This is all about IQ, of which Pearson has none.

Two items.
1) Scott (post #4) beat me to the punch, except I usually refer to the media malfeasance as “journalistic malpractice”. We could present a few people whose blood pressure rises when reading stories clearly shown to be false, then extrapolate to the damage done throughout the country to all such people, contributing to heart attacks, strokes, and chronic renal failure. With the proceeds we could start “PPP”- “Patterico’s Pontifications in Print” to compete with USA Today- America’s Paper, minus the distortions (or some such).

2) How does the concept of “a jury of one’s peers” fit if the defendant is Korean and the jury is all African American? Is it presumed that in selecting jurors anyone with prejudice or resentment against Korean business owners will get thrown out? I am sure this is criminal law “101″, but I never took the course.

[...] The “judge” has a history of abusing the judicial system. Read it here including servicing his wife with 248 evidentiary requests for admissions in their divorce case. [...]
