Right now, you've probably seen that actor Gwyneth Paltrow is in the midst of a public civil trial regarding a ski crash in 2016. She's being sued by Dr. Terry Sanderson, who said the actor crashed into him. Gwyneth is countersuing him for $1, citing that she he crashed into her.
Legal stuff aside, the trial has already had a bunch of awkward/messy moments. Here are some of the best moments to enjoy — even if you have literally zero knowledge of the trial:
1. For starters, Gwyneth's lawyer had a hard time explaining the accident itself:
