Casey Anthony Lawsuit: Lawyers Argue to Strike Mention of Anthony's 2008 Murder Trial

Casey Anthony’s murder trial may not even be mentioned in the Florida woman’s next set of troubles.

Attorneys for Anthony are asking a Florida judge to block any mention of the woman’s 2011 murder trial during her upcoming lawsuit, according to CBS news affiliate WKMG.

Zenaida Gonzales, a woman whose name is similar to the name of the nanny Anthony had made up when she told police that said nanny had kidnapped her 2 year-old daughter, Caylee, in July 2008, is suing Anthony for defamation of character.

Police later determined that Caylee was dead, and her mother had made up the nanny.

The Orlando Sentinal reported this week that attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez agreed in principle on Thursday to not mention Anthony’s murder trial during the upcoming defamation trial, if they can avoid it.

However, the 2008 trial could be mentioned on specific topics individually approved by the judge; among those topics, for example, would be challenging the testimony of witnesses.

Attorneys for Anthony and Gonzalez, who spoke on that topic Thursday morning at the Orange County Courthouse, largely agreed on that subject.

"I don't foresee us in a civil case saying, 'X, Y and Z happened in the criminal case,'" Gonzalez attorney John Dill said, according to the Sentinel.

Anthony's attorney Charles Greene, meanwhile, acknowledged that "there may be points where something about the criminal proceedings come up indirectly."

Gonzalez's team had previously argued that elements of Anthony's trial -- such as defense attorney Jose Baez's assertion that Caylee drowned, and law enforcement testimony about the nanny Anthony invented -- could be relevant to the case.
