ORLANDO, Fla. -- There were questions for Casey at a morning hearing Thursday (watch hearing). The lawyers representing Zenaida Gonzalez said they need to interrogate Casey so their civil lawsuit regarding her claims of a mystery babysitter can proceed.

Casey's defense team, though, said any testimony could hurt her right to a fair murder trial.

The woman with the same name as the elusive baby-sitter, Zenaida Gonzalez, was in court Thursday morning. She's suing Casey Anthony for defamation of character. The woman's attorneys wanted Casey to show up for her scheduled deposition Monday, but that's not happening.

"The court will not allow the deposition to take place as it has been indicated at this time," Judge Jose Rodriguez said in court.

However, Judge Rodriguez is going to allow Zenaida's lawyers to submit written questions to Casey.

Attorney Jose Baez doesn't want Casey to speak on the record before the criminal case, because he's concerned she could say something incriminating. WFTV's legal analyst said the ruling Thursday wasn't just a win for the defense.

"It's a victory for Anthony because she doesn't have to answer questions live at this time and can consult with her lawyer when she's answering these questions," Bill Sheaffer told Eyewitness News.

Attorneys John Morgan and Keith Mitnik represent Gonzalez (interview with attorneys). They're concerned Casey will use the Fifth Amendment during questioning when it happens and they said all that does is delay clearing Gonzalez's name.

"The public, I think, knows now that what Casey Anthony said is a lie," John Morgan said.

Morgan told Eyewitness News he's also working on scheduling depositions for Casey's parents and brother Lee Anthony. They said the suit is far from over.

"You ask me, I feel like we come out of this with a win. We're going to go out and celebrate," Gonzalez attorney Keith Mitnik said.
