ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Lee Anthony spoke in a deposition Friday morning in a civil suit filed against Casey Anthony by a woman named Zenaida Gonzalez. Casey has been charged with her daughter Caylee Anthony's murder and claims that Caylee was kidnapped by a baby sitter named Zenaida Gonzalez.
Lee contradicted previous statements that he's made when he testified under oath Friday. In the past, Lee Anthony told Orange County investigators and Casey's friends that she is a liar and that she's stolen money from him and other relatives.
However, Friday under oath, he told Zenaida Gonzales' lawyers that he believes everything his sister Casey has told him.
"To this day I believe everything my sister tells me," said Lee.


CASEY FILES "MOTION TO STAY"
On Thursday February 26, Casey Anthony filed a "motion to stay the release of discovery." The motion asks that a judge block the release of video footage of Casey while she was in the jail's clinic on December 11 after receiving word of her daughter Caylee Anthony's body being found.
Casey Anthony is scheduled to appear in court again on Monday.
Her attorney Jose Baez wants to stop the state from releasing thousands of pictures from Casey's computer and her "photobucket" account.
However, many of the images have already been released.

UPDATED: Lee Anthony Deposed In Defamation Case
Questions Center Around Baby Sitter Named Zenaida Gonzalez
POSTED: Thursday, February 26, 2009
UPDATED: 4:29 pm EST February 27, 2009
<snipped>
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Lee Anthony on Friday said in a deposition in the defamation case against his sister, Casey Anthony, that he had never heard the name Zenaida Gonzalez until the day his sister was arrested. Casey Anthony has said the woman who took Caylee is a different woman who shares the same name. Lee Anthony reiterated that statement in the deposition, but also said that his sister told him that the baby sitter took Caylee from Blanchard Park, not the Sawgrass Apartments.
"Because of the age, because of all the other things that were listed out -- the description that my sister gave my parents ... and police -- (and) the fact that my sister said when they showed a picture of her 'No,'" Lee Anthony said in the deposition. "If there was a chance that that was the Zenaida, her and I would have had conversations well prior to this."
While waiting for the deposition to begin, Lee Anthony could be seen yawning, tapping fingers and sitting with his arms crossed.

Meanwhile, Casey Anthony will appear before a judge on Monday when her attorney, Jose Baez, attempts to block images from an online account from being released to the media.
About 1,000 pages of newly released documents are expected to be released next week as part of discovery in Casey Anthony's criminal case.

Casey Anthony photos, videos should not be released, her lawyer tells judge

Casey Anthony's defense lawyer asked a judge Thursday to block release of personal photos he says could embarrass the 22-year-old murder suspect."The images on the Photobucket Website were created over a year before her daughter Caylee Anthony went missing in June 2008," Baez's spokeswoman, Marti Mackenzie, wrote in an e-mail. "These images are irrelevant to her case. If they were to be disseminated, they will only sensationalize the life of a young woman and may be used to attempt to paint her in a negative light."

In a second motion the lawyer released Thursday, Baez asked the judge to withhold a Dec.11 video of Anthony's reaction to hearing that a then-unknown child's remains had been found in woods.
According to Baez, corrections officers took her to the jail clinic so she could watch media reports. She didn't know security cameras were recording her reaction, he wrote. Releasing the video would taint a potential jury pool before he had the chance to file motions to seal or suppress it.

UPDATED: Casey Anthony's brother gives deposition in defamation case
Sarah Lundy | Sentinel Staff Writer

<snipped>
Attorneys for a Kissimmee woman suing Casey Anthony for defamation questioned her brother for more than three hours today.
Lee Anthony answered most of the questions posed by attorneys from the Morgan & Morgan law firm and he confirmed that their client -- Zenaida Gonzalez -- is not the person Casey Anthony said took her daughter, according to attorney John Morgan.

But Lee Anthony didn't answer all the questions, so Morgan said he will ask a judge to compel him to respond. The nature of the questions he would not answer won't be known until later today, when a transcript of today's deposition should be available. The questioning also was videotaped.
The deposition began shortly after 9 a.m. and ended around 12:30 p.m. It was conducted behind closed doors.

UPDATED: Lee Anthony Gives Deposition In Gonzalez Suit
Gonzalez Looks Into Legally Changing Her Name

UPDATED: 1:30 pm EST February 27, 2009

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Lee Anthony, the brother of Casey Anthony, gave a deposition in the defamation suit involving Zenaida Gonzalez on Friday morning.
Gonzalez has the same name as the person Casey Anthony named as her daughter Caylee's nanny. Casey Anthony said Caylee's nanny kidnapped the toddler last summer.
Gonzalez said she is looking to have her name legally changed.
Television cameras were invited into the downtown courtroom, according to attorney John Morgan, but a last-minute agreement was reached to keep them just outside of the deposition. Anthony was expected to answer some questions when the deposition is completed. (Check back later Friday afternoon, when WESH 2 News is expected to get video of the deposition.)

UPDATED: Transcripts, Video Released In Lee Anthony Deposition
Friday, February 27, 2009 6:27:39 PM
<snipped>
ORLANDO -- The deposition hearing for Lee Anthony in the defamation lawsuit filed by Zenaida Gonzalez against Casey is now over.
The deposition began at 9 a.m. Friday in the News 13 building, at the law offices of Morgan & Morgan. In the suit, Gonzalez claimed Casey ruined her life by mentioning her name in the investigation.

A new hearing date has been set for two motions filed by Casey Anthony's lawyer, Jose Baez.
One of the motions is asking a judge to stop the release of personal images of Casey's that were put on the Photobucket Web site.
Meanwhile, Baez also filed a second motion to try to delay the release of a jailhouse video that allegedly shows Casey's reaction the day Caylee's remains were found.
Baez claims the video violates his client's Sixth Amendment right to have her lawyer present as well as her medical privacy rights under law.
The hearing for the motions is set for Monday at 4:15 p.m. at the Orange County Courthouse.

Motion filed to prevent release of video
Last Edited: Friday, 27 Feb 2009, 12:24 PM EST

ORLANDO, Fla. - Casey Anthony&#8217;s defense lawyer, Jose Baez, filed a motion on Thursday in an attempt to prevent the release of Orange County Jail video of Anthony while she was at the jail&#8217;s clinic.
The motion filed reads that on Dec. 11, 2008, Anthony was involuntarily taken to the jail&#8217;s clinic so she could see the TV inside or near the clinic. On the television, media reports indicated that the remains of Anthony&#8217;s daughter, Caylee, had been located.
Baez alleges that the Orange County Sheriff&#8217;s Office previously made arrangements to have the jail&#8217;s video cameras set up to capture Anthony&#8217;s reaction to the televised reports. He said Anthony was not aware that she was being recorded while she was in the clinic and it violated her patient and medical privacy rights.

The motion also alleges that law enforcement officials leaked information to the media and that the video shows Anthony&#8217;s consciousness of guilt.
Baez filed the motion to understand what the state plans to do with the video and with what purpose.

No hearing has been requested on the motion at this time.

Casey Anthony case: Lee Anthony's deposition leads noon news
posted by halboedeker on Feb 27, 2009 12:21:21 PM
<snipped>
Television couldn't relay what Lee Anthony was saying in a Friday deposition.
WFTV's Kathi Belich noted that the deposition was continuing at noon and that it had started late because of confusion about whether an attorney for Casey Anthony would attend. He didn't.
WKMG's J.R. Stone noted that Lee Anthony wasn't talking to the press, but the station showed him during the deposition sitting with his arms folded most of the time or briefly fiddling with his hands.
The deposition was being recorded, and Belich said reporters hoped to see it later today.

Lee Anthony Gives Deposition In Gonzalez Suit
Anthony Says He Believes What His Sister Told Him
POSTED: 3:17 pm EST February 26, 2009
UPDATED: 4:50 pm EST February 27, 2009

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Lee Anthony, the brother of Casey Anthony, gave a deposition in the defamation suit involving Zenaida Gonzalez on Friday morning.
During the deposition, Lee Anthony made several bold statements and his lawyer advised him not to answer several questions, claiming they were related to the criminal case against Casey Anthony and had no bearing on the Gonzalez defamation suit.
Under oath Friday Lee Anthony said that, to this day, he believes everything his sister tells him.
"I think the questions he wouldn't answer went to the heart of Casey Anthony's guilt or innocence," attorney John Morgan said.

Casey Anthony case: Lee tells lawyers that he believes his sister
posted by halboedeker on Feb 27, 2009 6:11:35 PM
<snipped>
"Lee Anthony in the hot seat," WESH-Channel 2 anchor Jim Payne said.
Gonzalez attorney John Morgan asked if Lee Anthony believed his sister when she said a babysitter named Zenaida Gonzalez had taken the toddler.
"To this day, I believe everything that my sister tells me," Lee Anthony said.
But WFTV-Channel 9's Kathi Belich noted that Lee had told Casey's friends and Orange County investigators that his sister is a liar.


Gonzalez's lawyers questioned him for three and a half hours, and he repeatedly declined to answer whether he believed Casey was involved in her toddler's death.
"Zenaida's attorneys asked Lee point blank whether he believed Casey killed Caylee," Belich said. "He would not answer. But Zenaida's lawyers are going to take that issue to a judge."
Longo also reported that Lee Anthony had told his lawyer not to try to block the release of the taped deposition. Longo said Lee's position was: "Don't fight it. This tape is going to get out eventually. It might as well be today."
In one of the most intriguing moments, which Belich highlighted, Lee Anthony said he could figure out what had happened if he had 15 minutes alone with his sister.
What do you think of that?
