“Craig Ramon would be the definition of a bad witness,” Owens said. He ridiculed Christiansen’s testimony Thursday, calling it “unbelievable and inconsistent,” and said, “The flaky Deer Valley investigation, I think, was just a cover-up.” “He is not someone who falsifies reports.” Sanderson’s lawyers argued that he had been seriously injured; Paltrow’s lawyers downplayed the extent of those those injuries.

Her avatar of privileged white womanhood – inconceivably wealthy, hyper-fixated on things that most have never thought about (vaginal steamers, anyone?) – is a curious mixture of generational influence.
