Fernandez-Gonzalez claims she was damaged by Anthony telling detectives
that a baby sitter by the same name had kidnapped Anthony's 2-year-old
daughter Caylee. The detectives were investigation the girl's 2008
disappearance. She was later found dead and Anthony was acquitted of
murder in July in the closely watched case.
Lawyers
for Gonzalez also filed a motion seeking a judgment in favor on some of
the allegations for damages. They they have already submitted enough
evidence to show their client was defamed by Anthony, WKMG reports.
The judge decided against immediately ruling on the motions and said during the hearing that she would issue a written ruling.

had never met Anthony. Investigators believe Anthony may have seen the
name on an apartment rental application.
