Following her arrest, a jury awarded this woman a half million dollars, but attorneys hope a judge will reverse that decision.
She sued after another jury found her not guilty of charges involving $5,700 Donaldson claimed she stole from his Dothan business.They asserted the jury’s award “greatly exceeds any verdict consistent with the evidence.”
They also claim Donaldson’s attorney, John C. White, suffered physical illness during the trial that impacted his defense, and they filed medical records to back up those claims.Gayla White accused Donaldson of retaliating against her because he was angry that she had obtained other employment and refused to work her final weekend at Windmill.Her lawsuit claimed she suffered anxiety, embarrassment, shame, loss of sleep, and humiliation because of the ordeal.
However, in this case, “Justice has been served,” her attorney, Steve McGowan, told WTVY the day of the verdict. Opposing a new trial, he cites testimony that revealed White immediately lost her new job, which paid $70,000 per year after her arrest, and has since been unable to find comparable employment.Dothan attorneys Herman Cobb and Leon “Bo” Boyd currently represent Donaldson.
Binford will decide whether to grant a new trial after hearing oral arguments from attorneys on June 21.
