Judge in Casey Anthony Civil Case Recuses Himself
CBS ^ | 7/15/11 | Camille Mann

Posted on 07/15/2011 8:05:47 AM PDT by Dr. Scarpetta

For unknown reasons, the judge in the civil lawsuit against Casey Anthony recused himself from the case on Friday.

Judge Jose Rodriguez made the announcement shortly after the 8 a.m. hearing began, reports CBS affiliate WKMG.

Zenaida Gonzalez, who shares the same name as a fictitious babysitter whom Casey Anthony claimed kidnapped her daughter Caylee in 2008, is suing Anthony for defamation.

The move came after Anthony's attorney called for a sidebar, where attorneys from both sides talked with the judge for about 15 minutes.

Gonzalez's attorney, John Morgan, said he did not request the recusal, WKMG reports.

Morgan was expected to argue Friday that Anthony should be deposed before she is released from jail Sunday. He filed the motion Wednesday requiring Anthony attend a deposition either on July 19 or before Sunday's scheduled release from the Orange County Jail.

Morgan is concerned that Anthony will not show up for a scheduled deposition next Tuesday and he wants a judge to force her to appear, reports the station.

A timetable for a decision is not known.

Casey Anthony told the police Zeneida Gonzalez took the baby. She lost her job, apartment, and was headlined in the news.

I find it interesting how many people who say they are sick of this case are jumping on you and even bothering to look at this thread.

People who haven't followed the case probably don't even know that Casey accused this woman, Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez, of taking the baby.

During that time period, there was a massive search for little Caylee.

Some of these people coming on Casey Anthony threads are like democrats. They don't know what they're talking about.

Casey hasn’t rejected your proposal of marriage yet?

If you will note, Gonzalez’ attorney is the noted (in Central Florida) ambulance chaser and Charlie Crist’s employer, John Morgan. (For the People)

Did Baez have a real attorney holding his hand so he knew what to say in sidebar?

Not only that, but Cindy Anthony smeared the name of this woman all over every news show she could get onto - there were people all across the country searching for "Zanny"

Come on Judge, make this right - award Ms. Gonzales 10 Million so this lying criminal can't get rich off the decayed body of her child

You are wrong. This suit was started years ago - well before the trial. Depositions were taken in 2009.

Many of them are the same people. They don’t pay any attention to what the topic for discussion is on the thread. They just jump on as though we are still arguing the verdict.

I guess you could say they remind me of Casey Anthony trial jurors. Confused and not paying attention. LOL

Heroic job? So you think any criminal who has a stupid jury and gets off scot free is great? How would you feel if this had been your child? What about a molester? If his "heroic" attorney gets him off because of his lies is that ok with you?

Sheesh

I wouldn’t say that the defense was so great as the prosecution was overconfident and overcharged the case.

That said, I know in my gut that she’s guilty but the jury found her not guilty and that’s that. The fact is that they could have had video of Anthony killing the child and still could have gone with a not guilty verdict if they so chose.

The case was unworthy of national coverage anyway but the media saw a ratings bonanza. At least we know there will be no attacks on John Skelton look alikes.

calling juries from other countries happens all the time. Trials are moved etc.

FL has 67 counties, some are very tiny and circuit courts are ofthen made up of several counties.

don’t go european with conspiracy theories. It is really just simple to explain that this jury made the decision they saw based on the admitted evidence. short simple and the plain fact of their ruling.

It would be the only way to get any justice - deny her the ability to get rich off her crime.

Of course she would have to return home to Cindy, who will make money off of a book and she will have to take care of Casey forever - justice for her also.
