Transcript:
During this trial, we intend to prove that this butterfly, negligently flapping his wings, set in motion a chain of events, resulting in a tornado, making him financially respon sible...
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.
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.

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