They have never met this woman, have never met the fake ZG, have only information from Casey as to what the woman looks like, and have asserted that this woman does not fit the description they have been given. This is a shameless attempt to get money or notoriety and I will not pretend it is anything otherwise.
I'm all for holding people accountable for what they say. However, all I have ever heard the Anthony's (ALL of them!) say is this is not the woman that was described to them. It's ridiculous to pretend that they were the ones who forced this woman into the public eye. She crawled out into that limelight. She was investigated just like so many other people AND WAS CLEARED by LE and they have at every turn made that statement. She will never achieve anything more than that even through the lawsuit except money. The Anthony's have NEVER insinuated that this woman was in any way involved. That will be all she will get in a deposition, as well.
Im not a huge fan of the money sucking Anthony family, but I firmly believe they have no reason to have to be compelled to answer this frivolous lawsuit with anything more than what they have already given, which was from the very first to say "We do not know who this woman is."
ZG's lawyer has the right to subpoena and depose anyone with knowledge of any contested event.
My lawyer has deposed people for suits filed by me. I've been deposed.
If you just tell what you know truthfully, it isn't harrassment.
IMO
"Casey Anthony's attorneys argue that Gonzalez has not proved her reputation has been damaged." Got that from here:
http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20090223/BREAKINGNEWS/90223050/1006/news01
I had never heard that JB ever said that and if he did what kind of proof does he want? The threatening calls or the peeps on the street? That she was hauled in by LE? Losing her job? I'm sure her lawyer has e-thang documented.
POOT---------------WHO THREW IN THE MONKEY WRENCH? Hope the Ants get hit in the head with it.
I suspect you are correct. But he is an attorney, not a mental health professional or an M.D. I suppose George might have a valid excuse, err reason, to not give a deposition at this time but I don't recall Cindy breaking down. Sorry if this has all been discussed, I haven't read the entire thread.
From that article:
ORLANDO, Fla. -- An attorney for Casey Anthony's parents has filed a motion to prevent them from giving depositions in the Zenaida Gonzalez civil suit.
The lawyer for George and Cindy Anthony said in the motion Tuesday that forcing them to give depositions in the suit is nothing more than an attempt to annoy and embarrass them.

I agree with this. Casey is the defendant in this suit, not the A's. Casey is the one who gave ZG's name to LE. There is nothing the A's can say that will help either side. If they say Casey has mentioned the name in the past, it doesn't prove that she was talking about this particular ZG or that she didn't make the whole thing up. If they say they never met ZG, what does that prove? Certainly not that this is the ZG Casey accused. I believe this is nothing but harassment of the A's and it's totally unnecessary.
I suppose this is why the counter suit is there- because the perp's lawyer wants to prove that the suit is frivolous. Isn't this the point of the counter-suit? If it is, then clearly people have to be deposed to determine whether it is frivolous or not! The A depos would not be happening without this counter- suit.
Why are we arguing about whether the As should be deposed or ZFG's case is worthy or frivolous, when isn't that the point of what's happening- to be determined by a judge? How can the wheels of justice work if these things are not set into motion??? All anyone should do at this point is to get the wheels rolling, do what they are required by law to do, and wait for the outcome, the decision by the judge!
Why can't the As be held accountable to contribute for a change and just answer the questions and let the judge decide the worthiness of the claims?
Anyone have an answer? I am curious as well.

I do not believe that they should be compelled to testify to this lawyer on this motion. I have heard nothing but "This woman is not the ZG that Casey told us about" or variations on that theme from the moment she appeared on the case. If Karl Rove can avoid depositions, I don't see why the Anthony's can't. This lady and her bloodsucker need to fade into the woodwork again.
Well, if BC wants to try and stop this, shouldn't the hearing be today? After all, the depo's are scheduled for Thursday. I haven't seen mention of a hearing yet. Anyone else?
Please leave your politics out of this, thank you very much.
BTW, are you serious about that comment concerning ZG? CA has repeatedly stated that it was the nanny, who happened to be named ZFG, who happened to be at the apartment complex the same day KC was there. There is no question that that ZG is the one who was being thrown under the bus.
I hope Morgan embarasses them to no end. Then goes after what little money they haven't pizzed away. She deserves it seeings how CA has done more to ruin this woman's good name than all the other assorted riff-raff involved in this circus combined.
Yeah, like your little snide quips are coming from someone who is beyond reproach. Please.
I'll just go ahead and bite my tongue!
On NG, it was stated that the As are in a fragile state.
