In March, on Day 7 of the Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial, after the court spectacle had already been branded everything from a “meme machine” to “the whitest trial of all time,” the retired optometrist Terry Sanderson sat in the witness box, somewhat deflated already.
By that point, he probably knew that his pursuit of Paltrow for damages connected to a ski collision he said was her fault was a pretty bad idea.
“This is a picture of you and your girlfriend, smiling big, right?”“Smile, camera, yup,” Sanderson replied.
At a ski resort?
As far as controversies go, the trial was as Diamond Life as you can get.
