Casey Anthony re-files request to throw out punitive damages--OS

snipped:

Attorneys for Casey Anthony are again seeking to limit the damages Zenaida Gonzalez can pursue in her civil defamation lawsuit.

Circuit Judge Lisa Munyon denied Anthony's previous attempt to throw out Gonzalez's claim for punitive damages, ruling that defense attorney Charles Greene hadn't filed the proper type of motion. Munyon left open the possibility of Greene refiling his pleading, and the defense did that last week.

"Based on, among other things, the fact that neither party knew the other, had a history of ill will towards the other, or was otherwise even aware of the other's existence, [Gonzalez] cannot present sufficient evidence to satisfy the specific and mandatory requirements" for pursuing punitive damages, the new motion says.
