ZG Hires Attorney - Lawsuit Against Casey Anthony

[Brini]

No, they did not say that ZG stole her. They said ZFG, and specifically NOT ZG, stole her.

The ZG at the Sawgrass. The one who is half Black and half Puerto Rican.

People don't pay attention to detail, like we do. All they will remember is ZG at the Sawgrass. THAT is why she is getting hate mail.

To the law a "reasonable man" is the average guy on the street-- not crimes buffs who take note of everything.

 

[Brini]

Exactly-- I've been watching this discussion and wanted to jump in.
Building on Ezyryder's point-- a plaintiff in a defamation suit doesn't even have to actually be named to have a claim. To be actionable, the D's statements must only be those which a reasonable person would believe refer to the P. "ZG at Sawgrass" would definitely qualify, IMO.
Casey made a false accusation against an identifiable person. Personally, I don't think this was a big coincidence either.

This is PERFECT! Thanks!

 

[Brini]

See, that's my point. Casey specifically said right from the start that it was not this ZG, so it is not reasonable for a person to continue to think that it is. Casey identified ZG as NOT being involved, she did not make a false accusation against her. She made a false accusation against an imaginary person.

]

So, she falsely accused ZG from the Sawgrass-- an identifyable person, and turned her life upside down

LOL, all the discussion about whether or not ZG can sue is kinda beside the point. And whether she will win or not IMO is moot. An attorney believes he has grounds and says he is going to take it to court and I believe he will. And IMO, the case won't go to court. IMO, the case will be settled by an out of court settlement, because they cannot afford for Casey to go to court and testify. There is too big a chance that what she says in court will damage her criminal case.

LOL, no matter how you look at it, she got something caught in the wringer.

 

[Brini]

Would I say that once LE cleared ZG everyone believed her? Of course not. But whose fault is that? Casey said right from the start it wasn't the same ZG. If not for that, I'd believe this lawsuit has merit. Casey did not accuse this ZG. She accused a person named ZFG and said this ZG was not that person. If people refused to accept that, I don't see how Casey can be held responsible.

Because KC said that the ZG from the Sawgrass did it, and even described her.

Is there ANOTHER ZG from the Sawgrass, who is Black and Puerto Rican? That she took it back later, for people who even KNOW that, won't convince people, KC gave enough DETAILS to be convincing, and to make only the ONE ZG identifyable. KC also falsely takes things back all the time. You can't unring that bell, and KC rang it.

That's why KC is responsible. Had she not opened her mendacious mouth, there would be no problem for this woman.

The bloggers did not ring the bell, LE did no ring the bell, and the media did not ring the bell. KC did it.

 

[Brini]

!!
I tried to type something like this 3 times and failed. This is the perfect, and IMO, correct interpretation.

I agree. This IS perfect!

 

[tx_Dot]

That why she's getting the hate mail?

Hate mail on myspace ??? don't open it !!

She should of made her web pages PRIVATE weeks ago if she was worried about her name being 'out there'.

 

[Brini]

Perhaps you've explained why I see it differently than the way the majority of the people here seem to see it. I never entertained the thought that ZG was involved and didn't give Casey's kidnapping stories the least bit of consideration. As far as I was concerned, LE cleared ZG, Casey said it wasn't her, there was no reason, unless new information came to light, to believe she was anything other than just the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time. I felt bad for her, just as I do for all the other innocent parties in this case who have had their lives dissected and suspicion cast upon them by bloggers, but I don't feel Casey is responsible for that either. Casey is responsible for lying to the police, for filing a false report, for child neglect, for murder most likely, for all of the financial charges against her, but she's not responsible for what other people choose to believe even after they've been officially told otherwise, or how they behave as a result of those beliefs. Heaven help us all if someone like Casey has that much power.

So, who REALLY accused the ZG at the Sawgrass, and gave recognizable details? Because that person is at fault, and will have to argue his/her position in court. If not KC, who accused the ZG at Sawgrass?

 

[Brini]

Hate mail on myspace ??? don't open it !!

She should of made her web pages PRIVATE weeks ago if she was worried about her name being 'out there'.

ZG didn't do anything wrong. She is the victim, here. She shouldn't have to change ANYTHING.

Should ALL the MySpace users go private, just in case someone decides to fabricate a criminal?

 

[distracted]

Chilly, dear, please re-read your post. You've pretty much hit the nail on the head (put DOWN Cindy's hammer) as to why ZG will, IMO, prevail. Again, think the unringing of the bell and stopping the snowball. I think what's sticking in people's minds are KC's first statements, not later when she recants. And heaven knows there's not a single entity out there that control what's being said on the internet. If the words weren't spoken in the first place, regardless of whether KC said Z, ZG, or ZFG, they were spoken and the rest followed. That is, in our litigious society, the nature of the beast.

:clap::clap::clap:

The damage was done with the accusation. That's what sticks in the average person's mind, very much like a first impression. She will prevail. I hope that Casey is found guilty soon and this poor woman can try to rebuild her life.

BTW, not that it really matters, but I like her attorney. His first impression is a good one. He does not turn me off like the others involved in this case.

Actually, I was gonna express my admiration for you two!

But, thanks! :blowkiss:

Many people do not remember the details of the case, like we do. All they remember is ZG at the Sawgrass.

I wonder if they are scrambling to change the movie script....or adding a NEW CHAPTER to they story.

 

[Avery]

This is a quick reference looking at defamation.

http://www.abbottlaw.com/defamation.html

 

[chesterp]

Yes... And they were accusing her on WS.

And all the Cable news shows, and who knows what programs in PR, and Mexico, and wherever else through out the World......... and all the sites selling merchandise. This is NOT only about a statement that was retracted it is about OTHERS profiting off her NAME because KC made a statement about this person's name....................... This NAME will be associated with the butt of jokes due to a comment forever because of KC..... just like Monica, the blue dress, and other references all because of a LIE so serve someone's LIE/coverup. Her attorney has all the facts and if he did not think he had a case he would not have taken this case on..............

She is not after money she wants the MADNESS to stop............ Why should all the attorney's and cast of characters who initiated this three ring circus be allowed to profit with selling videos/pic/movie deals/books tee's on ebay and other outlets when the first interview mentioned a NAME pointing to a finger to a person and has caused this person so much disruption in her life? This person could have SOLD her her story to the GLOBE, did this person, NO, did she go on Dr. PHIL to clear her NAME, NO, did she go on NG, Geraldo, Larry King, etc., NO............... if this helps her............. GO FOR IT... I wish her all the luck in the WORLD.

 

[Blink34]

I watched that interview 3x (thanks Tate).

I note that Morgan makes specific reference to not being able to connect the dots as to how KC puts her at Sawgrass, filling out an app on 6/17.

I agree this woman, according to the known facts in this case, has been victimized, but I am surprised that the Atty spoke publicly before figuring out about how KC knew her, or knew of her. There's more, imo.

 

[looking4clues]

But the ZFG Casey named is not the same ZG that looked at the apartment, according to Casey. If she hadn't said that from the start I'd be inclined to believe that the real ZG has grounds for a law suit. In the case of the teacher accused of selling drugs and guns, what if some other guy with a similar name filed a suit because some members of the public confused the two and refused to believe he was not involved? If he did, would he file against the person who accused the teacher, or against the people who were harrassing him?

What if there really is a kidnapping ZFG? I'm kind of afraid that if I report a crime and someone has the same name I give police, I'll get sued.

I agree with you. Since THIS ZG never lived at Sawgrass, I'm not sure I get where the case comes from. She visited Sawgrass, but never lived there. KC told the police that was NOT the ZFG she was referring to. KC told the police that the one she was talking about was in her 20's and did NOT have children. Since there are a bunch of ZG in Florida, why does this one get to sue her?

 

[Capri]

There was no coincidence about it !!! These are facts

1. KC names ZG
2. KC puts ZG at Sawgrass Apts. around the time Caylee went missing
3. KC states ZG is of mixed nationality Father BL / Mother PR
4. KC states ZG has ties to NY , TX , PR
5. KC states ZG drives a silver car
6. KC states ZG wears her hair both straight & curly

Like I said Unless Sawgrass Apts. Is where the ZG convention is held

Exactly, as others have said, KC gave a specific name, and very specific personal information. With the right attorney, ZG definitely has a good chance. Even if she doesn't win, she has the right by law to pursue it.

The point is ... this ISN'T the kidnapping Zenaida Gonzales, because the kidnapping Zenaida (as LE indicates) does not exist.

Think about it this way. Chilly Willy drives a red Ford Festiva and has a daughter named Bethann and a son named Marty. If I point the finger at him and give those specific details, especially when he's been at the last place someone is reported missing, there's a reasonable assumpion that LE is going to follow up and interrogate that person. You can't say, "Oh, I meant Chilly LILLY Willy that visited the last place my missing kid was seen, and Chilly LILLY Willy also has two kids named Marty and Bethann and drives a red Ford Festiva and realistically think that people will believe you when you say it's a different person. I believe Cindy Anthony put it best when she said they were only able to locate less than 10 Zenaida Gonzales in the entire state of FL (and I believe it's closer to 4, can't remember where I saw that data). What are the odds that there's another Zenaida Gonzales with two kids named the same driving the same make and color car? The only reason she didn't know her middle name was most likely because it's not on the comment card, so she made up Fernandez to try to throw off law enforcement even more.

My personal opinion is that she never thought law enforcement would find the comment card.

What if there really is a kidnapping ZFG? I'm kind of afraid that if I report a crime and someone has the same name I give police, I'll get sued.

You should be more afraid of some crazy lady that's never seen you before that's allowed to falsely accuse you of kidnapping, fill in specific details about your kids and your life (in a nationwide case), which directly causes all forms of harassment to you. Do you think it's ok that people were calling/emailing Zenaida Gonzales and harassing her because of something Casey did? Especially now that it's been how many days and the Zenaida Gonzales nanny story is the one she's sticking with? That's great that she said that the Zenaida Gonzales with the uncommon name, with the same car, and with the same two kids WASN'T the kidnapper AFTER she had already sent law enforcement after her. It's also hilarious that she continued to stick with the bogus story about Zenaida, which only added to the harassment. In my opinion, she knowingly pointed the finger at the wrong person, and that snowballed into the big hate machine that Zenaida's had to deal with since then.

The Anthony's are allegedly up for a $2 million movie deal. I hope Zenaida gets all of it.
