Paltrow has opted not to make a statement following the verdict, during which the jury awarded her the requested $1 sum she sued over. Courtroom videos showed her breathing a sigh of relief as the verdict was read, which was quickly followed by a statement from Judge Holmberg congratulating the parties on their professionalism during the high-profile trial.

Jury finds in favor of Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow has been found to not be at fault for the ski accident after the jury assigned 100% of the blame to Terry Sanderson.

After 8 days – and many years – a verdict has been reached. Judge Holmberg issued some statements reminding both parties that the proceedings will not conclude until the court adjourns and is now inviting the jury back in.

Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial to come to a close with verdict to be announced soon

Following closing arguments, the jury in the ski trial involving actor Gwyneth Paltrow and retired optometrist Terry Sanderson is returning to court and is expected to deliver a verdict soon.

Paltrow’s team argued that not only did Paltrow not cause the accident but also that the injuries sustained by Sanderson from the crash are not as bad as he claims.

Meanwhile, Sanderson’s team continued the David v Goliath narrative and argued that his injuries resulted in long-term damages that have lasted several years.

The soon-to-be delivered verdict comes after a week of a closely watched trial that saw both Paltrow and Sanderson intensely questioned and have prompted online fascination – and mockery – towards Paltrow’s “billionaire chic” court fashion as well as dry and seemingly out-of-touch statements such as having “lost half a day of skiing”.

Sanderson is suing Paltrow for $300,000 in damages while Paltrow is countersuing for a symbolic $1 and attorney fees.
