The man suing Gwyneth Paltrow over a 2016 skiing collision at one of the most upscale resorts in North America took the stand Monday, saying he was rammed into from behind and sent "absolutely flying."The trial in Utah hinges on who crashed into who: Paltrow testified days earlier that Terry Sanderson, a retired 76-year-old optometrist, veered into her back.
On Monday, Sanderson recalled a screaming woman skiing into him and hitting him between the shoulder blades with her fists and poles as he tried to shield his head. The hourlong testimony at times brought Sanderson to tears, particularly when he appeared not to be able to focus or remember things -- in a way that dovetailed his legal team's claim that the crash permanently damaged his brain. They have also argued it hurt relationships with his loved ones, including his daughters.
After four-and-a-half days of calling witnesses, Sanderson's attorneys will now hand over the courtroom for Paltrow's defense team to make their case. Paltrow's attorneys are expected to call her two teenage children -- Moses and Apple -- and a ski instructor who was present the day of the collision.
Also last week, an email exchange between Sanderson and his daughters with the subject line, "I'm famous ... At what cost?" intrigued jurors and viewers following the trial online. Herath said she sent it, she said, after speaking to her father and speculating that, at on a crowded hill at a resort like Deer Valley, someone wearing a helmet cam must have heard a scream and turned their head to capture the pair veering down the hill.
another American circus for consumption...
I hope she wins and is also awarded court costs for the nuisance suit.
Sounds like he’s just trying to make a buck
