ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Casey Anthony will go under oath in her civil case and her testimony will be recorded on video, WFTV was told on Thursday. Casey will be deposed in October from a secret location and the video will be sealed.
The 25-year-old has remained hidden since a jury acquitted her of killing her daughter Caylee Anthony.
The civil case against Casey has been tentatively set for next April or May. Zenaida Gonzalez is suing Casey because Casey originally claimed a woman by the same name was the fake babysitter who took her daughter Caylee.
No one but Casey and her lawyers will know where she is and her lawyers said Gonzalez and her attorneys are not going to get any answers from Casey because she's going to plead the Fifth Amendment right to silence.
"There will be no live broadcast of the deposition," said Judge Lisa Munyon.
Munyon is limiting Casey's deposition in the defamation lawsuit filed by Gonzales to two hours. It's still scheduled for October 8, but neither Gonzalez nor her lawyers will be in the room with her. She will do her deposition by a live video feed from a secret location.
Casey's lawyers said the only question she'll answer is what her name is and though the trial has been set for April, they hinted that there could be a delay because of her criminal appeal of convictions for lying to investigators.
"There will be a battle and I'll just say there's a lot going to happen before this case goes to trial if it ever goes to trial," said Casey's lawyer Charles Green.
Casey's lawyer said she named Zenaida Fernandez Gonzales as her made up nanny, but the woman who is suing her for defamation is Zenaida Gonzalez, who is not the same woman. Her lawyers said they will try to get the whole case thrown out based on that.
Gonzalez's lawyers said their client is the one who was hunted down by law enforcement because of the tie to the Sawgrass apartments where Casey said the nanny was last seen with Caylee. Gonzalez had filled out a guest card there around that same time.
Her lawyers are not giving up on having a face-to-face deposition with Casey under oath.
"If she's only gonna take the Fifth Amendment and she doesn't have a basis for that, I'll ask her all these questions. She'll take the fifth and the judge will rule that it doesn't apply. We'll be back and I'll be sitting across from her taking the real deposition," said Gonzalez's lawyer, John Dill.
WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked Casey's civil lawyers whether they're worried that she will violate her probation and affect the civil case. Green told Belich he talks to Casey all the time and that she is not going to make that mistake, but he wouldn't say why he's so sure of that.
Casey's attorneys will be back in court on Friday for another hearing. The state wants Casey to pay back money that was spent on the search for Caylee.
Chief Judge Belvin Perry will hear arguments on whether Casey has to pay those investigative costs.
The hearing is set for 10:00 a.m.
