Casey Anthony: Brother Says “This Zenaida is Not the Nanny”
Casey Anthony‘s brother, Lee, said under oath Friday that Zenaida Gonzalez, a Kissimmee woman suing his sister for defamation, is not the Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez his sister claims vanished with her child, Caylee Marie.
From the Orlando Sentinel:
He said that Friday during more than three hours of questioning by Gonzalez’s attorney John Morgan, who conducted the deposition in his firm’s mock courtroom in downtown Orlando.
“This has never been in regards to this Zenaida,” Lee Anthony said, talking to Gonzalez, who attended the deposition.
His sister described a different woman: someone in her 20s who has no children. She is 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 7 and 120 pounds. Gonzalez — the woman suing his sister — is a 38-year-old mother of six.
Gonzalez’s attorneys said they took a big step Friday in clearing their client’s name.
“We now have a family member say under oath that it ain’t this Zenaida Gonzalez and that’s a good day for her,” said her other attorney Keith Mitnik.
Gonzalez is suing Casey Anthony in civil court for more than $15,000 in damages. She claims she lost her job and suffered public humiliation and emotional stress after Casey Anthony identified a nanny who took her child as Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez.

First, I’d like to ask attorney Keith Mitnik, “Did anyone ever say it WAS this Zenaida Gonzalez? I mean, anyone connected with the case in any way? Any of the Anthonys?” I sure never heard it. All I heard was that investigators managed to find this woman with the same name who had visited the apartment complex, but Casey immediately said it was not her nanny.
Secondly, I’m sorry but I really must mention that it seems unprofessional, even disrespectful, for an attorney to use slang, such as ‘ain’t’. Attorneys are paid for speaking in public, or in court, and one expects that they will speak well.
