Friday, Lee Anthony was deposed in the Zenaida Gonzalez defamation case against his sister Casey. Lee had threatened not to appear if media were allowed into the proceeding.
WFTV reports that the deposition took over two hours and Lee said he had never seen nor met Gonzalez and only heard about her in July when his sister was arrested.
Although the media was not allowed to film the deposition, the law firm representing Gonzalez, Morgan & Morgan videotaped it. The tape is expected to be released sometime on Friday.
According to WFTV, the deposition started late because there was confusion about whether Jonathan Kasen, Casey Anthony’s civil attorney would attend the proceeding. Ultimately, Kasen declined to attend.
Gonzalez’s defamation suit alleges Casey Anthony ruined her life by connecting her to the disappearance of Caylee Anthony.
Casey is currently in jail, charged with the first-degree murder of her daughter, 2-year-old Caylee.
