visit netherlands, germany, italy, swiswitzerland, france, belgium. >> reporter: showing him a carousel of photos, grilling him on his international travels since the ski crash. >> floated down the amazon? >> yes, i guess so. >> costa rica, did you do a zip line? >> same trip, yes. >> reporter: sanderson claiming those adventures were part of his healing process before once again recounting the moment he said paltrow slammed into him on a utah ski slope seven years ago. >> and my sinus was broken with a hysterical scream, the very best hysterical scream we've ever heard. >> reporter: the retired optometrist is suing the actress for at least $300,000, claiming the accident caused permanent damage that impacted his mental capacity. >> i was not making good decisions and that sort of near-death experience happened twice again. >> reporter: and you blame miss paltrow, miss paltrow, for all three of those near-death experiences after, true? are you claiming it right now in this lawsuit? >> yes. very unusual for me not to make good decisions, medical decisions. >> reporter: paltrow is countersuing sanderson, testifying earlier in the trial that he actually crashed into her. >> i feel very sorry for him. it seems like he's had a very difficult life, but i did not cause the accident. >> reporter: the defense also calling expert after expert in an attempt to hammer home the point that the cognitive decline the 76-year-old has experienced was not due to a concussion. >> depression and anxiety can cause all of the symptoms that he is complaining of post-collision. >> reporter: sanderson's legal team trying to discredit each of those experts. >> again, i'm a simple country lawyer, but i can read. >> reporter: pointing out that none of them personally examined sanderson. >> doctor, do you commonly render opinions on your patients without a clinical exam? >> no. >> i do feel confident in my opinions. >> why is that? >> because the facts are the facts. >> reporter: each side now hoping that their version of the truth will sway the jury. this trial is being live streamed on the internet and people are having a field day with it on social media, as we have all seen by now. and paltrow's team has complained three times that the cameras in court have been too heavily focused on their celebrity client, which the judge said he would address, but seems like this should be coming to a close soon, guys. >> yeah, it does. kaylee hartung, thank you. >> nbc senior legal correspondent laura jarrett joins us now. laura, that was kind of brutal. paltrow's team recalled the witness and to hear him say that he had been zip lining in costa rica seemed like a lot. >> yesterday was a tough day for terry sanderson, the man at the center of all of this. partly because his whole theory is that his entire life was changed after this incident, right? the whole argument is that because of the collision, he had all of these brain impairments and now we hear him on the stand going through just a panoply of different trips, he was in his granddaughter's play, he's basically living his best life after this incident. and it so just sort of took the sails, i think, out of his argument there. of course, we haven't gotten the final closings here, but that was a really tough day for him. >> let's talk about the closing arguments here. what do both sides have to do to prove their case in closing? >> so, part of the issue here, of course, is that none of this was caught on camera, so this is where the art of persuasion and the advocacy of the attorneys could really shine. because they don't have hard evidence, and they don't have a smoking gun, a confession, they don't have anything to tie it to. i think you're going to see the lawyers there, especially for gwyneth paltrow, try to say, not only is she not at fault, but he doesn't have any damages, because they offered all of this medical testimony showing that perhaps he had some deficits, some brain issues, even before this incident. and that's why all that expert testimony was so helpful. >> the trial has gotten this far. we're waiting for a verdict, guilty or not guilty, is there a chance that at this 11th hour they'll say, you know what, let's settle up right now? >> you could, but he's sort of lost his leverage at this point. and if they do that, perhaps, you know, the settlement amount will not be for what he wants. she seems like she's really dug in and wants to fight this. she's only asking for $1, but she is asking for her attorney's fees, which by all accounts, i haven't seen the bill, but are probably a lot more than $300,000, which is what he's asking for. so he may have dug himself in here, in a way that he perhaps didn't anticipate. >> i watched some of the testimony yesterday and the talk about him hanging out in the amazon and zip lining in costa rica, and i thought, how'd it get this far, based on just some of the evidence that's already been presented, why wouldn't the judge have thrown out this case ahead of the trial? >> it's rare for a judge to take it out of the hands of a jury. he could dismissed it before, but it's rare at this point. the judge is not going to interrupt that process. he'll let the jury decide and see what happens. >> thank you, laura jarrett. >> still ahead here, carson has a fun one for us in pop start this morning. what had the emmy-winning star of "succession," brian cox himself, belting out a spice girls classic? >> love it. >>> but first, sam brock is taking us out to the ball game on opening day. sam, you've got a good view there of marlins stadium? >> reporter: hoda, the best possible view. where else would you want to be on opening day? and baseball really hitting the ground running. every single team is in action today, including the marlins. for so many of us, this evokes the best of childhood memories. now, though, guys, we're waiting on a nenew era of r rules thhat ggoing too make t the gamme mor ddynamic, momore explosisive. thahat story riright after r th bbreak. >>> back now at 7:41 on a day filled with excitement and the hopes and dreams of players and baseballs. it's opening day for major league baseball. >> it's all about optimism, energy and this year, the most significant rule changes that america's pastime has seen in generations, changes designed to speed up the action and keep more fans engaged. >> a lot of fans are excited about this. nbc's sam brock is inside loan depot park, the home of the great miami marlins. >> two world championships, i might add. major league baseball on opening day is just the best. think about the amount of energy that they're building off of right now, the momentum in this very park where i'm standing right now, they just held the world baseball classic. now mlb's opening day, guys, is ushering in a new era of innovative rules. the marlins are playing the mets on this field in a matter of hours, as baseball is bursting with story lines. it's the same game that's made it america's pastime. but a brand-new playing field for major league baseball, as teams around the league prep ballparks and players take their cuts in anticipation of opening day. here in miami, there's a new skipper in town, for an exciting marlins' team that just added a batting champion to their lineup. >> the long game here, obviously, you would like to get out on a good start when you're in this position in the major leagues, you're expected to try to win every single game. >> reporter: elsewhere, the sport is stacked with big-name stars wearing brand-new jerseys. flame thrower jacob degraham, no longer a met, but a texas ranger. >> they showed a ton of interest from the start and the feelings were mutual and very happy to be here. >> reporter: why would world baseball classic hero trey turner ditched dodger blue for the fanatical phillies. and per usual, the spotlight will be bright on the big apple. the mets have paired two future hall of fame aces, justin verlander and matt scherzer, pushing their payroll into another atmosphere. and the yanks -- >> high fly ball -- >> reporter: -- resigning aaron judge after he broke the american league home run record and tapped anthony vol pi to be their starting shortstop. at 21, the youngest player on their opening day roster since derek jeter roamed the same position. manager aaron boon informing the stunned new jersey native as a hidden camera rolled. >> welcome to new york. >> reporter: but maybe the most exciting development for baseball this year, a bump in the pace of play. for the first time, a pitch clock will be introduced. 15 seconds between pitches when no one's on base and 20 seconds with base runners. it's part of a slew of new rules meant to speed things up and add offense, like eliminating defensive shifts. >> i think the idea is to open up some more holes for hitters and keep the game going a little bit. >> reporter: the marlins' john birdie showing how it would work during spring training. >> you can't cheat the left side of the infield. you have to stay right here. >> and the second baseman can't give himself some more depth and play in the outfield grass there. >> reporter: so far, the early returns are strong with spring training games running 26 minutes shorter than last year and scoring up half a run, but the real test now just hours away. >> so, sam, how are the players really feeling about these recall changes? >> reporter: yeah, craig, good question. there's overwhelming support from the players. it's going to take a bit of an adjustment. that much is assumed. and we've already seen that play out in spring training, when you speak specifically about the pitch clock, initially there were a few violations per game. by the end of spring training, it was already down to about one. there's a learning curve there that continues to go on, and the yankees' ace, garrett cole, put it best, saying these new rules in their totality will make the game for exciting, great, faster, and most importantly, engage younger fans. this is a win for everybody, and let me just say, while i'm standing here on the field level, play ball, my friend. >> come on, sam. >> here's the thing, sam brock, if your performance in march madness has been any indication, remember, sam has been in that -- what have you -- >> reporter: the good luck charm, you got it. the marlins', world series all the way. >> go get 'em. >> we think the changes are going to -- >> it will be -- >> unless you're in the stadium where it's always fun, where you're watching at home, i can imagine where it's a little -- >> a little league game. >> the season is still 163 days. folks, by the way, don't forget, you can watch major league baseball on peacock, starting april 23rd, catch mlb sunday leadoff for the first game of the day, again that's sundays on peacock. >> got all the good stuff. >> wonder how the weather's going to look for opening day?

>> kathy park there for us there this morning in kentucky. thank you. >> this morning, we are hearing from the former fox news producer at the center of a legal battle over dominion voting systems. abby grossberg is suing the network alleging that she was pressured by fox to give misleading testimony during a deposition in the case. in a broadcast exclusive, she spoke with nbc's cynthia mcfadden. >> people said that you're a lousy journalist, that your behavior was shameful, because, among other things, you had said and replied to a question that you did not believe that it was your responsibility to fact check whether or not what someone was going to say on the broadcast was telling the truth. >> it felt awful. i mean, it felt terrible because i knew that i was bullied, intimidated and coerced into saying that, just to keep my job and stay at the company. and a question a lot of people would have is, why would you do that? >> why would you do that? >> because i made the decision to keep my job, so that i could keep paying my bills. it seemed like the safer decision for me at the time. >> grossberg was fired by the network last week, and in a statement to nbc news, fox news says in part, we will continue to vigorously defend fox against miss grossberg's unmeritorious legal claims, which are riddled with false allegations against fox and our employees. you can see much more of cynthia's interview with her tonight on "nightly news with lester holt". >> all right, also this morning, it has been a decade since the shooting that turned olympic blade runner oscar pistorius into a convicted murderer. the once-admired athlete is now up for parole, and among those fighting his release is the mother of his victim. nbc's molly hunter joins us from south africa, with much more. molly, good morning. >> reporter: tom, good morning to you. oscar pistorius has been in a legal battle to get to this point. this is his actual first parole hearing, and there's a possibility, as you just mentioned, that the mother of reeva steenkamp may choose and may ask to address the parole board. >> reporter: from olympic icon to convicted murderer, back in 2014, his 50-day murder trial transfixed the globe in a case drawn out over years. oscar pistorius was convicted of murdering his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp, and now friday morning, pistorius is set for his first parole hearing after serving half of his more than 13-year sentence. pistorius shot and killed steenkamp through a locked bathroom door at his home on valentine's day in 2013. >> before i knew it, i had fired four shots at the door. >> reporter: during the high-profile trial, pistorius claimed he thought she was an intruder, but neighbors testified that they had heard arguing from the athlete's house earlier that day. he was first convicted of culpable homicide, an offense comparable to manslaughter. later, on appeal, changed to murder, his sentence later extended by south africa's supreme court. offenders in south africa are eligible for parole consideration after serving half of their sentences. speaking in 2016, pistorius seeking redemption. >> if i was afforded the opportunity of redemption, i would like to hope i was fortunate like i was in my past. >> reporter: the parents of the late model and law student have publicly objected to the prospect of pistorius' early release. reeva's mother, june, spoke to "today." just six months before the murder, pistorius had been a star of the london olympics, becoming the first double amputee to race against able-bodied athletes, known as the blade runner because of his high-tech carbon racing prosthetics. he's spent most of the last decade behind bars, now facing the chance of serving out his remaining years under house arrest. now, if he is, indeed, granted parole, there will likely be very strict conditions. one of those will likely be that he cannot speak with the media. >> the world probably will be watching. molly, we thank you for that. >>> if pink is your favorite color and you've got some serious green stashed away, sotheby's may have just what you're looking for. okay, the auction house will be taking bids in june on this beauty. it's known as eternal pink. it's said to be the most vividly pink diamond ever to hit the market. the flawless cushion-shaped gem weighs 10.5 carats. it was cut from a rough stone found four years ago. it took six months to craft that into that dazzling specimen you see. so what's the price, you're asking? sotheby's is hoping it fetches as much as $35 million. >> oh! >> a cool 35. >> yeah. >> i do like pink. i don't have that much green, though. >> okay. >>> coming up, beyonce probably could. she'd probably buy that ring. beyonce, blake lively going on display at kensington palace. >>> but first, kirsten welker has your front row seat to one of spring's most beautiful spectacles. kristen welker and what's behind hher, thosee cherry b blossoms d.c.. if y you thiink you know ththe beehind thhem, holdld on. we havve news s for youu. we'll l be back wiwith that a ae right t after tthis. thatat with evereryday low p ps you can n spend a lilittle , toto get a litittle more,, to make e life a litittle bet. sometimemes, the lowows of bipolarar depressioion feel darkekest before e daw. sometimemes, the lowows of bipolarar depressioion withth caplyta, , there's a che toto let in ththe lyte. withth caplyta, , there's a che caplplyta is proroven to deler significanant relief acroross bipolarar depressio. ununlike some e mediciness ththat only trtreat bipolala, caplyta trtreats bothh bibipolar i anand ii depreres. ununlike some e mediciness ththat only trtreat bipolala, and in c clinical trtrials, movement d disorders ununlike some e mediciness ththat only trtreat bipolala, anand weight g gain were n not common.n. call y your doctoror about sudden mooood changes,s, behaviorors, or suicidadal thoughtsts. anantidepressasants may inince these e risks in y young adu. elderlrly dementiaia pats haveve increaseded risk of deaeath or stroroke. repoport fever, , confusion, stififf or unconontrollable mumuscle movemements whwhich may bebe life threatatening or p perma. ththese aren''t all l the serious s side effecects. cacaplyta can n help you let t in the lytyte. ask yourur doctor ababout capl. find savavings and s supt at caplytata.com. ask yourur doctor ababout capl. what's the #1 r retinol brarad find savavings and s supt at caplytata.com. usused most byby dermatologis?
