Lawyers Step Up Fight In Casey Anthony Defamation Case

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Lawyers for Zenaida Gonzalez are stepping up their fight in the defamation case against Casey Anthony. They are trying to shoot down Casey's argument that she did not defame Zenaida, because she told detectives it is not the specific Zenaida Gonzalez who disappeared with Caylee in June.

Zenaida's attorneys say Casey later changed her story, which defamed Zenaida Gonzalez a second time.

"She wants to squawk and say, 'How was your client hurt?' Well, it's kind of a no-brainer. Just tell the public what you told the police and you could have cleared her name early on," Zenaida's attorney, Keith Mitnik, said.

Tuesday afternoon, the attorney representing Cindy and George Anthony filed a court motion to prevent them from having to answer questions in the lawsuit against their daughter Casey, which they are scheduled to do on Thursday.
