ORLANDO, Fla.,None — An attorney representing Casey Anthony has asked for a civil lawsuit filed against his client to be dismissed.
WFTV learned Charles Greene argued that a lawsuit filed by a diver who helped search for 25-year-old Casey's daughter, Caylee, in 2008 lacks merit and seeks to profit from the tragedy.
In court filings, Greene calls the suit filed by David Badali "insufficient to satisfy the requirements of Florida law."
Badali, a scuba diver from Sarasota, is seeking more than $15,000 in damages. The lawsuit claims he risked his personal safety searching for 2-year-old Caylee in alligator-infested water while Anthony knew the child was already dead.
Anthony was acquitted of killing Caylee in July. She is currently serving probation on a separate check fraud conviction.
