Motion for Hearing to Come

In the defamation suit against Casey Anthony, lawyers for Zenaida Gonzalez requested Judge Jose R. Rodriguez to force Lee Anthony to answer two questions he refused to answer at the deposition.

The questions not answered are who is Caylee's father and did Lee at one time believe sister Casey was involved in her daughters disappearance.

Anthony's lawyer, Thomas Luka says "the questions only serve to embarrass and annoy the Anthony family," he went on to say there is no legal reason to identifying Caylee's father.

Gonzalez is asking for more than $15,000 in damages for loss of employement and public scrutiny when Casey Anthony stated a "nanny" kidnapped her daughter. She stated her name was Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez.

Nancy Grace Monday Update:

6:30 PM ET - While defense lawyers fight to keep jailhouse video of Casey Anthony private, they also reportedly want a videotaped statement from a corrections officer at the jail kept secret. WKMG reports the correction officer mentioned in defense attorney Jose Baez' motion to keep those jail videos private, is the same officer with tot mom the day she watches TV coverage of the discovery of Caylee's remains.



Baez also alleges the officer is discussing Casey Anthony's medical history and tot mom's reaction to what was happening in the woods near Anthony's home. Reports reveal Casey Anthony doubles over, hyperventilates and asks for anti-anxiety medication the day Caylee's remains were found. If the tapes are not released to the public, will they still be admissible at trial? (From Stacey Newman, Nancy Grace Producer)
