They wanted it so much that even though their own sources, their own immigration lawyers in Georgia were saying, we are not seeing it, even though ICE was saying two hysterectomies, Even though this was not a firsthand account, they just couldn't stop themselves from doing it. And then those text messages that you showed, some of those go into the night after the first night of reporting.
And you have them even saying, gosh, I've got to know if it's true. I can't move on. I wonder if it's true. Do we think that the attorneys that did talk to us and told us that they found one Do we think they conspired? I've heard mixed things about Don Wooten, the alleged whistleblower. They are questioning it, and they didn't stop.
It's a hard job, but when you learn better, when you know better, you do better, and they just didn't do that here. If it's okay, I wanted to Real quickly, you mentioned how we had to meet that actual malice standard, and we did. That is so hard. It is so hard. It's so hard. To get past summary judgment on actual malice. So I have to pat ourselves on the back for that for our team. But we did.
Right. Right. We got we got it's so rare for a plaintiff to get summary judgment. We got summary judgment on several of the statements being false as a matter of law. And she said no evidence of mass hysterectomies, no evidence of high numbers of hysterectomies. And obviously he's not a uterus collector. But we had to prove actual malice here. And we were allowed to go to the jury on that.
If the case I continued, we'd be in trial right now or next week. But we had to prove actual malice here, even though Dr. Amin is not a public figure, because Georgia has a very strict anti-SLAPP statute. Strategic lawsuit against public participation is what SLAPP stands for, for the viewers and listeners.
And so when you have statements on air or in publications about issues of public concern, which this was deemed to be that, you have to reach that actual malice standard regardless of public figure status. And so that's why we had to do that. There's been some we could get nerdy on the law. There's been a little bit of changes since since that happened.
And I have some disagreement about how that was applied here. But that's why it wasn't because he was a public figure, but because in this case, the court had deemed this an issue of public concern. And so we had to meet that higher standard, which is very, very hard. And I'm really proud of our team.
Well, the settlement terms themselves are confidential, so I really can't. But I can say that Dr. Amin is very happy to be able to move on from this. I mean, this is we filed this case in the fall of 2021. So this has been going on for a very long time for him.
And so he's very glad to be able to move on from it and and very glad that that you and some others have been interested in sharing his story because it's it's been so hurtful for him. And like I said, his staff and his family. And so to be able to to have the truth come out, to be able to get that um, that accountability, um, for the truth, uh, just means so much to him.
And I appreciate you letting us tell that story. Of course, he's still practicing now, right? He is, he is still practicing. He's good. He's he is, I describe him. He is a doctor. He is a doctor. He is a doctor. He's a doctor. Um, I don't, other than when I told him he needed to wear, um, a business casual outfit, at least for his deposition, I've never seen the man not in scrubs. Um,
we have a mediation or whatever we have, he's coming in and scrubs because he's, he'll, he'll take a break and he'll go, he'll get a call. He'll have to go deliver a baby. He just wants to know when can I get back to seeing patients? Um, he loves it. He's really good at it. The community, um, Fortunately, still loves him down there.
He had some trouble for a while, but everybody luckily, it seems like everyone's come back around and he'll he'll never know all the naysayers that are out there. But he's very important to the community. He loves them and they love him. And, yeah, all he wants to do is this.
There actually is a pending lawsuit against her. We have a state court case against Sinclair Broadcasting and Don Wooten jointly that's pending right now in Tift County Superior Court. So that that one is yet to be resolved.
Yeah.
She is defending the lawsuit. She does have counsel. We've got a procedural issue that we've got to work through before we get to discovery in that case. And so a lot is still sort of paused. But I do think it's worthy of note that the Government Accountability Project, which were her
lawyers throughout the the media frenzy um and and it was a representative of the government accountability project that was on air with her chris hayes the government accountability project if you go to their website and you scroll down to the bottom of their home page you will see a retraction by them um basically retracting anything bad they've ever said about dr amin and his medical practices accusing him of mass hysterectomies everything like that i don't see anything like that from don wooten we'll see if we ever get there but at least um
the lawyers that were with her at this crucial time back in the fall of 2020, they have retracted it all.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.
