ORLANDO, Fla. -- Lee Anthony faced tough questioning at the law offices of Morgan and Morgan Friday during a deposition, in the defamation suit filed against his sister, Casey Anthony.

Casey has been charged with her daughter Caylee Anthony's murder. She claims that Caylee was kidnapped by a baby sitter named Zenaida Gonzalez.

Lee Anthony has been answering questions under oath for over two hours. Lee said that he never met or seen Zenaida Gonzalez and that the first time he ever heard her name was in July when Casey was arrested.

Eyewitness News has learned that the deposition started late due to Casey Anthony's civil attorney, Jonathan Kasen's indecision on attending the deposition. Kasen, in the end, decided not to attend.

George and Cindy Anthony received a temporary reprieve due to their emotional state.

A tape of the deposition is expected to be released and Eyewitness News expects to receive a copy some time Friday.

Zenaida Gonzalez claims Casey ruined her life when she said a babysitter with the same name kidnapped Caylee. Gonzalez could be one step closer to clearing her name Friday at the deposition.

Gonzalez is suing Casey Anthony for defamation for connecting her to the disappearance of Caylee.

Gonzalez's attorney, Keith Mitnik told Channel 9 that the Anthonys have trashed his client’s name. Mitnik wants to hear everything Lee Anthony knows about Gonzalez.

Keith Mitnik believes he can prove during the deposition that Lee Anthony doesn't know anything about the babysitter or that there was never a Zenaida Gonzalez to begin with.

CASEY FILES "MOTION TO STAY"

On Thursday February 26, Casey Anthony filed a "motion to stay the release of discovery." The motion (Read 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.

However, many of the images have already been released.

ANTHONYS AVOID QUESTIONS IN CIVIL SUIT AGAINST CASEY

The civil case against Casey Anthony was fought in court Wednesday afternoon. Casey's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, tried to get out of answering questions under oath in a defamation lawsuit filed against their daughter Casey and they were successful, at least for a now.

The day before the Anthonys were supposed to be questioned about their public comments naming Zenaida Gonzalez as the woman who took Caylee, the Anthonys' attorney told the judge it wouldn't be fair to force them to face depositions with cameras rolling.

George Anthony testified against his daughter Casey on October 14 of last year before a grand jury for first-degree murder. He and Cindy testified at Casey's bond hearing in July when they wanted to get her out of jail, only days after George said he believed that Caylee's body had been in Casey's car trunk

But Wednesday, their attorney went to court telling a judge that they are not emotionally able to handle testifying in the defamation lawsuit against their daughter Casey.

"They believed that they had a murder case, but they didn't have a body. Now they do and you can see what it's done to this family," attorney Brad Conway said Wednesday.

The Anthonys' attorney said both are under a doctor's care as they grieve for their granddaughter Caylee, who disappeared eight months ago and whose remains were found more than two months ago, but he did not bring any evidence to court Wednesday to show that would legally prevent them from testifying.

"To spend three hours and answer questions for my client, who kind of gets lost in all of this and her rights, is probably the least painful thing they're gonna have to do in the next month," attorney Keith Mitnik said.

Mitnik, Zenaida Gonzalez's attorney, says she has a right to clear her name, she was sucked into the case through no actions of her own and the Anthonys have actually perpetuated the accusations that have ruined her reputation, such as a statement Cindy made in July about Casey forgiving Zenaida for taking off with Caylee.

"She forgives her and wants her to bring Caylee back to us safely," Cindy said in July.

"It is frustrating. She needs to move forward. We're gonna get 'em under oath. I wish tomorrow, but it's coming," Mitnik said.

It could boil down to whether the defense wants to use Zenaida Gonzalez as an option for creating "reasonable doubt" in the case, which is exactly what Zenaida is worried about.
