#6  this POS should be stripped of his job, his title and pension, and left to earn a real living. I hear Wendy's is hiring people of his qualifications

#4  This case exemplifies every worst aspect of our overly litigious society and the frivolous lawsuits it inspires. This asshole should be forced to pay all court and attorney's fees and then laughed out of court. Hysterically, even.

#3  I've cried over stray kittens that Mr. Wife wouldn't let me adopt, but not yet over clothing. Not even when the necklace he bought me for our first decade anniversary was stolen... of course the insurance company gave us half its value in recompense (and then raised our rates, darn it!). TANSTAAFL*.

#2  Those must have been very, very, very special pants. I've cried over shoes but not pants.

I'd say the judge is just a tad unbalanced here - millions for his Vee-Vee boutique find.

#1  my son was in the courtroom as a spectator and was later interviewed by a German TV station

this case has gained international attention

prior to this case getting publicity, a bill was moving through the Maryland Legislature to change the contributive negligence law (current law makes it almost impossible to successful sue if the injured party was even slightly responsible for the injury); however, this case ended the possibility of the bill becoming law.
