The Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial continues Friday, and the actress is expected to testify in her own defense. The actress is accused of causing a crash.
Paltrow and Terry Sanderson, the retired optometrist suing her, are expected to answer questions about the crash as their attorneys jostle to convince the 10-member jury who was responsible for the collision and who had the right of way as the skier farther downhill. Paltrow claims Sanderson was responsible for the crash.
The trial thus far has shone a spotlight on Park City, Utah - the posh ski town known for rolling out a red carpet for celebrities each January for the Sundance Film Festival - and Deer Valley Resort, where Paltrow and Sanderson were skiing on a Friday in February seven years ago. The resort is among the most upscale in North America, known for sunny slopes, aprs-ski champagne yurts and high-amenity lodges.
The proceedings have delved deep into the 76-year-old Sanderson's medical history and personality quirks, with attorneys questioning whether his deteriorating health and estranged relationships stemmed from the collision or more innate phenomenon, like aging or anger problems. Sanderson claims Paltrow recklessly crashed into him while the two were skiing on a beginner run at Deer Valley Resort, breaking his ribs and causing a concussion. He is seeking "more than $300,000." Paltrow has countersued for $1 and attorney fees.
