Photograph is among the key evidence in Taylor Swift trial
http://www.nydailynews.com/newswires/entertainment/photograph-key-evidence-taylor-swift-trial-article-1.3388747DENVER (AP) — Jurors deciding whether a radio host groped Taylor Swift during a photo op — and whether she and her team got him fired — will have to determine not just whose story to believe but what to make of a photograph that both sides say proves their case.
The photo shows David Mueller with his right hand behind the singer, just below her waist, before a 2013 concert. It's inconclusive whether he's touching her. Both are smiling.
Based on court records, here's a look at that and other key elements in the he-said, she-said civil trial that begins Monday in federal court in Denver.
