Summary
A woman with a decades-long history of self-represented lawsuits, Gwendolyn White, 57, is now facing attempted murder charges after allegedly shooting two lawyers outside the Wake County Courthouse—just after a hearing where they represented the town of Rolesville in a case against her. Known for her volatile legal battles involving neighbors, doctors, and even a church, White’s past claims—including poisoning and stolen donations—have left a trail of wary relationships. A recent arbitrator’s ruling against her church case came just weeks before the shooting, fueling speculation about deeper, unresolved grievances, possibly tied to a long-ago medical malpractice case involving her mother. Her pro bono attorney, Aviance Brown, condemned any notion that the lawyers deserved violence and called attention to the nation’s crumbling mental health infrastructure. White returns to court Tuesday for her shooting trial. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
