Anthony family called for deposition in civil case

The family of Casey Anthony has been notified that they will be answering questions in the civil case against her.

But the questions and answers will come in a very unusual setting.

Casey Anthony is accused of killer her 2 year old daughter who disappeared last June. Her remains were found in December.

When Casey first reported her daughter missing, she said a month after it happened, Anthony claimed that she had given her daughter Caylee to a babysitter named Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez.

A woman with the same name hired a lawyer and has filed suit against Anthony claiming defamation.

George, Cindy and Lee Anthony, Casey Anthony's immediate family have been notified they're going to answer questions in a deposition for the attorney representing Gonzalez.

Gonzalez's attorney Keith Mitnik said they plan on holding these depositions in the Morgan and Morgan mock courtroom, according to the attorney its part of their office. While the lawyer added that technically the media isn't invited, it will be a public proceeding.

The thought of a public deposition isn’t sitting well with the attorneys for the Anthony.

“He will comply with any subpoena pursuant to civil case as long as it applies to Florida civil rules," said Attorney Thomas Luka who represents Lee Anthony, Casey's older brother.

Luka said legally only certain people are allowed to be present during a deposition.

"According to the rules plaintiff, plaintiff’s attorney, defendant, defendants attorney, deponent, deponent’s attorney," said Luka.

And if Morgan and Morgan tries to go through with making depositions in their mock courtroom public, “I would object and withdraw my client from the deposition, we'd then go before a judge. I'd notify a judge immediately," said Luka.

Luka added that if it went that far, he would likely file a complaint with the Florida Bar Association.

"I'm shocked an attorney would try to turn a deposition into a circus,” said George and Cindy Anthony's attorney, Brad Conway.

Conway said he is planning to file a motion of protective order on his client’s behalf. Cindy and George Anthony are scheduled separate depositions on February 26th. Lee Anthony is scheduled on the 27th.
