ATLANTA (AIP) – A federal judge has ruled that Macon, GA
resident Forrest Bettaker is “absolutely
100 percent liable for monetary damages to the Sunocio Pharmaceutical
Corporation” when he inadvertently crushed the Lunesta Green Butterfly, thereby
making the product no longer effect for 30 million daily users.
“Mr. Bettaker’s thoughtless and reckless disregard for the
sleep happiness for our customers is unbelievable,” said Sunocio Pharmaceutical
vice president of research John Hopkin-Martin.
“The man is an idiot.”
Bettaker’s attorney Martin Johnanson disagrees with both
Hopkin-Martin and the federal judge assigned to the case.
“My guy wakes up in the middle of the night and sees this
green, glowing bug sitting on his chest and crushes it,” said Johnanson. “What’s he supposed to do? He’s got no idea what’s going on. My client doesn’t even take Lunesta. The damn bug went to the wrong house.”
Hopkin-Martin said that with the untimely and violent death
of the Butterfly there is no mechanism to transport sleep to the many users of
the drug.
“We spent hundreds of millions of dollars on research and
development of this drug,” said Hopkin-Martin.
“He needs to pay us back.”
In a counter suit, Bettaker is asking the court to force the
drug maker to make restitution for the comforter that was stained by the
innards of the Butterfly.
“The stain will not come out,” according to court filings.
