Rene Sandler provides legal commentary on the Taylor Swift case.

There's bad blood in a Denver courtroom today as jury selection begins in the case between a former radio deejay and music star Taylor Swift. David Mueller claims that Swift got him fired from his job at KYGO after she falsely accused him of putting his hand up her skirt and grabbing her butt while the two posed together for a photo in 2013. NBC News Legal Analyst Rene Sandler says Mueller may have a difficult time proving his case because he destroyed devices which held a recording he made with his boss the day after the incident.

The judge in the case believes the defamation lawsuit from Mueller could be worth as much as three-million dollars. Swift filed a countersuit against Mueller for assault and battery, claiming that the photo of the two is proof that she was groped. The popstar is expected to testify during the nine-day trial.

NBC News Legal Analyst Rene Sandler says Taylor Swift's countersuit against a former radio deejay alleging that he groped her while posing for a photo stands on shaky ground.

NBC News Legal Analyst Rene Sandler says former radio deejay David Mueller will have a rough time winning any money in his defamation lawsuit against popstar Taylor Swift.

NBC News Legal Analyst Rene Sandler says the result of a legal battle between a former radio deejay and Taylor Swift could all hinge on the popstar's testimony.
