A judge has denied a motion from Casey Anthony’s lawyers to move her civil trial outside of Orange County.
Judge Lisa Munyon issued the order denying the motion Tuesday afternoon without prejudice, allowing for it to be re-visited if a “fair and impartial jury cannot be selected in Orange County within a reasonable time.”
Attorneys for Casey said in a hearing Oct. 30 they wouldn’t be able to get a fair trial in the civil defamation case against because of the attention it has received.
Casey was sued by Zenaida Gonzalez, who said her life was negatively impacted when Casey lied to investigators about a made-up nanny with the same name who kidnapped her 2-year-old daughter Caylee in 2008.
Casey Anthony was acquitted on charges related to the death in July 2011.
