“As anchor Charles Gibson teased a Tuesday World News story, about DC administrative law judge Roy Pearson‘s $54 million lawsuit against a Korean family’s Washington, DC dry cleaning establishment over losing a pair of his pants, viewers saw video of what clearly appeared to be ex-DC Mayor Marion Barry,” NewsBusters says.

ABC quickly apologized. “We immediately recognized the error and corrected all subsequent feeds of the broadcast,” ABCNews.com says. “We are deeply sorry for this mistake and apologize to Mr. Barry, Mr. Pearson, and to our viewers for the error.”
