Casey Anthony: Would you bet against Morgan & Morgan?

If Zenaida Gonzalez’s attorneys want Casey Anthony at the defamation trial, they’ll have to find her.

Anthony’s address will remain private, a judge ruled this morning.

Central Florida News 13’s Adam Longo explained attorney Cheney Mason’s argument that Anthony shouldn’t have to appear at the civil trial. “If you order her to appear for this trial, she won’t be the only person in jeopardy, but all of the people around her,” Longo said. “That argument didn’t seem to hold any weight with the judge.”

Longo reported that Anthony’s attorneys ”will not accept service of a subpoena nor do they have to give up the address, which almost puts the onus on the Morgan & Morgan law firm representing Zenaida Gonzalez … which puts it on them to perhaps go and find her themselves, which can’t be appealing to the defense.”

Anthony is serving a year’s probation for check fraud somewhere in Florida. Gonzalez is suing Anthony for defamation. Gonzalez says her life was ruined when she was linked, by Anthony, to the disappearance of Caylee Anthony.

Would you bet against Morgan & Morgan? The law firm, a familiar presence on Orlando TV screens, has the resources and determination to find Anthony.

When will the defamation trial begin? It has been scheduled for next month, but Longo noted that the judge could toss the case at a hearing in 10 days.

“The defense feels they have a very strong argument as to why this shouldn’t go to trial at all,” Longo said.
