    Considering all the typhoons we’ve been getting this summer, literally one every two weeks for the last 6 weeks, that butterfly has a lot of ‘splainin’ to do.

    The worst part is that the jury will prove him guilty and the lawyer will get 2 mill in fees and the client will get 100 bucks

    This is like blaming the state of the world economy on the price of peanuts in Antartica!

    Well, a butterfly that size would have a bigger impact than most….

    “The Butterfly Effect” is an absurdity of pseudo-science.

    However, it is not entirely without merit, but any merit there relates to cumulative effect, not the actions of one butterfly or lack thereof.

    Monarch butterflies have been known to break tree branches when they all fly off at once.

    If the butterfly is guilty, the prosecutor is a lot more guilty. His hand flapping moves far more air than the butterfly’s wings. The butterfly is no more significant in a set of initial conditions as a near infinity of random events too numerous and subtle to observe.

    The juror on the left seems to buy the argument already.
