Gwyneth Paltrow\u0027strial over her ski collision with a retired optometrist has emerged as the latest biggest celebrity court case.
But Gwyneth Paltrow’s live-streamed trial over her collision with Terry Sanderson, a 76-year-old retired optometrist, in Park City has emerged as the biggest celebrity court case since actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard faced off last year — spawning memes, sparking debate about the burden of fame, and makingof who was uphill and who had the right of way relevant beyond those who can afford resort chairlift tickets.
As attorneys finished questioning witnesses Wednesday and prepared for closing arguments Thursday, here is a look back at highlights from the two-week trial:For seven days, attorneys have highlighted — and downplayed — Paltrow and Sanderson’s extravagant lifestyles.Article content Sanderson’s attorneys are asking for more than $300,000 in damages, but the money at stake for both sides pales in comparison to the typical legal costs of a multiyear lawsuit. Both sides have marshalled brigades of expert witnesses, including a biomechanical engineer and collision expert.
Paltrow’s legal team has attempted to represent Sanderson as an angry, aging man who continued to travel internationally after the collision. They introduced photos into evidence of Sanderson camel riding in Morocco, trekking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru, and taking a continent-wide loop through Europe with stops in the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France and Belgium.
Sanderson’s attorneys have questioned Paltrow about that day’s $8,890 bill for private ski instructors for four children accompanying her, as well as her decision to leave the slope after the crash to get a massage. They’ve said the accident caused Sanderson to grow distant from friends and family, and they called his ex-girlfriend to testify about how their relationship deteriorated because he “had no joy left in his life.
