LDS missionaries and mental health, Paltrow ski verdict and safer roads on ‘Behind the Headlines’
Salt Lake Tribune journalists join weekly news roundup.
(Rick Bowmer | AP | Pool) Gwyneth Paltrow testifies during her trial on March 24, 2023, in Park City. Paltrow's livestreamed trial over a 2016 collision at a Utah ski resort has drawn worldwide attention.
Mental health challenges for missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are rising and so is the faith’s response. A jury decides that Gwyneth Paltrow was not at fault for a Deer Valley ski crash. The trial shines light on the Wild West of ski law. And federal funds will soon be used to make Utah roads safer.
