Gwyneth Paltrow's attorneys are expected to call a series of experts and read depositions from her 2 teenage children in the first full day of the movie star's trial that they have to call witnesses to make their case.
. After Paltrow said that a groaning Sanderson had veered into her from behind causing her to panic and wonder if she was being "violated," Sanderson testified that Paltrow skied squarely into his back, sending him flying down the beginner run at Deer Valley resort.
"All I saw was a whole lot of snow. And I didn't see the sky, but I was flying," Sanderson testified Monday morning as a blizzard blanketed Park City outside the courtroom and Paltrow sat feet away. In a show of how the trial's costs likely dwarf the amount of money at stake both sides have contracted brigades of experts to testify on their client's behalf. But those experts have come up against the eight-day clock Judge Kent Holmberg put on the trial. Lawyers on both sides have appeared strained as they've weighed their witness list and asked the judge to repeatedly clarify the time constraints.
To appeal to the eight-member jury, Paltrow's attorneys will confront decisions about how to balance the jargon-dense testimony of medical experts with that of family members and acquaintances. On Monday, her legal team called Deer Valley ski instructors and ski patrol to testify while high-resolution animations of their recollections played on a projector between the witness stand and jury box.
Paltrow's lead counsel Steve Owens said he planned to bring a skiing expert and neurological rehabilitation expert to the stand Tuesday as the trial enters its sixth day. Though he earlier said he planned to have them testify, Owens said excerpts from the depositions of Paltrow's children, 18-year-old Apple and 16-year-old Moses, would also be read in court.
