Gwyneth Paltrow juror reveals why she sided with actress in 'shocking' ski crash trial

foxnews.com:

Samantha Imrie, a juror on the Gwyneth Paltrow Utah ski crash trial, is speaking out. The jury found Terry Sanderson, who sued Paltrow for $300,000 in a negligence lawsuit, to be "100 percent at fault" for a ski collision with Paltrow at the Deer Valley ski resort in 2016.

Imrie, who was juror 11, was part of the jury who sided with the Goop founder on Thursday. In an interview with ABC News, the 31-year-old said the high-profile trial was "a little shocking to me." Imrie shared that she had gone back and forth about who she believed was at fault throughout the eight-day trial, but says she found Paltrow's testimony convincing.  "I think there was, in the back of my mind, yes, this woman's an actress and I took that into account, but I didn't feel she had a reason to lie under oath," she said. "She's always in the spotlight, so she always has to be honest." As for Terry Sanderson, Imrie said, "He was telling his truth and I think unfortunately some of that has been distorted due to some other factors, but I do think he did not intend to tell a truth that wasn't his truth." Imrie shared that the testimony of Dr.

Irving Scher, who was called on Gwyneth's behalf, ultimately cemented her decision.  "He's a snow sports expert in many different ways.

I think the fact that Dr. Scher could speak to the DIN settings, and he specifically studied snow science, that he had a stronger opinion," she said.
