A civil lawsuit against Casey Anthony has been set for January 2013. The civil lawsuit - Zenaida Gonzalez vs. Casey Anthony, in which Gonzalez is suing the 22-year-old for defamation of character.
The Gonzalez case traces back to 2008 when Anthony was charged with the murder of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony. During the trial Anthony alleged that Gonzalez, the nanny, had kidnapped her daughter. There was no evidence proving any of Anthony's claims and the nanny finally filed suit against her for defamation of character.
In a recent development, the Anthony defense team made a motion to preclude any reference to the 2008 murder trial. According to the motion any such reference "would be unduly prejudicial to Ms. Anthony," as reported on Orlando Sentinel.
On Friday Radon Online reported a Pennsylvania woman Naomi Riches filed suit against Anthony claiming that the 22-year-old made numerous death threats against her.
According to Webpronews.com:
"Casey Anthony and Nancy Grace are working in cahoots with one another to fill the media with propaganda so that American Citizens believe there is Justice in this country... Casey Anthony called my house August 2011 and told me that my life was being exploited and that I was a hated nation wife, she told me she would come to my house in Fort Collins, Colorado and kill me just as they did Peggy Hettrick in 1987. She let me know that my left eye would be stabbed out as a part of the Illuminati symbolism. She told me that the government was going to find a way to tap into my water pipes and poison my water supply. I was terrified to shower and drink water for months. I had to spend $600.00 on bottled water....She (Casey Anthony) told me that there were cameras lodged in the back of my eyes and that my life is a reality show for the Elite. Because of her, I suffer from severe psychological damage. For months I couldn't use the bathroom to go number 1 or 2 without thinking there was some sick wealthy pervert watching me through cameras Casey Anthony claimed were lodged in the back of my eyes."
Judge David Baker dismissed all charges stating that allegations were "fantastic" and do not meet the required standard.
A few months ago, Anthony finished her year-long probation for a check fraud conviction she received in 2011, after being acquitted for the murder of her two year old daughter, Caylee..
In May 2011, Casey was charged with first degree murder of her two year old daughter Caylee, whose body was discovered in a near-by forest. Anthony pleaded not guilty, her father George Anthony was accused of helping his daughter hide the body of his grand-daughter. George also denied all allegations.
The Casey Anthony trial received huge media attention, with perennially changing testimonies from witness ( including the parents of Anthony) and only conclusive evidence, the story grabbed the nation's attention as if a TV suspense drama with its many twists and turns and of course at the center of it a shifty mysterious protagonist. In the end, the six week trial ended with the 22-year-old mother being acquitted, but the public being just as suspicious and prejudice.
