A Utah court delivered a verdict in the Gwyneth Paltrow skiing incident, with the actress cleared of liability and winning a nominal counterclaim of $1 along with legal costs.
The trial stretched across two weeks. Terry Sanderson, 76, had sued Paltrow, claiming a collision on the ski slope in 2016 left him with a concussion, four fractured ribs, and a traumatic brain injury. He sought $300,000 in damages, while Paltrow filed a counterclaim for one dollar and her attorney fees.
Paltrow was among the first to testify, asserting that Sanderson was the party who struck her during the incident.
Medical experts and other witnesses also took the stand as the jury heard the case.
After the proceedings, public attention swirled around the star as she faced scrutiny over her courtroom appearance, which some viewers labeled as portraying a controversial public image.
