With the help of famed animal rights attorney Randy Turner, we sued Cummins for defamation. Randy represented us free of charge. Cummins then began stalking and attacking Randy, his family and his associates online in an attempt to get him to stop helping us. When that didn’t work, Cummins stalked Amanda’s husband and close friends in an attempt to destroy Amanda’s support system. In June of 2012, after a 4-day bench trial with Cummins representing herself (after her attorney, Neal Calloway, requested the judge allow him to withdraw from the case. “Calloway cannot adequately represent the Defendant in this case because Calloway is a witness to the fact that Defendant’s claims are false”) , Cummins was ordered to pay us Six-Million dollars in damages for her “egregious as well as malicious as well as intentional” defamation. At the reading of the verdict, Judge William Brigham compared the reputation of Amanda Lollar to that of Jane Goodall. The entire judgement was upheld by the Texas Court of Appeals in an unprecedented 76 page opinion against Cummins. It was also upheld by the Texas Supreme Court.
