We doubt Gwyneth Paltrow ever thought that a trip to an upscale ski resort in 2016 would, seven years later, become one of the most closely watched – and meme-able – celebrity trials of all time.
And yet it’s all so Gwyneth Paltrow.
On Thursday, jurors found that the Oscar-winning actor was not at fault for the collision with retired optometrist Terry Sanderson.
Jurors returned the verdict after just over two hours of deliberation, apportioning “100%” of the blame for the accident on Sanderson.
For the past two weeks, the live-streamed trial featured starstruck (and bumbling) lawyers, utterly bizarre lines of questioning, quotable soundbites, indecipherable doodlings, expensive outfits and lots of blinking – which all fed the internet’s insatiable appetite for memes.
