Casey Anthony wants to bar evidence in new case

Casey Anthony's attorneys have asked a judge to make evidence of her murder trial inadmissible in her civil defamation case.

Zenaida Gonzalez is suing Anthony for defamation and claims she was harassed and threatened after Anthony came up with a fictitious nanny named Zenaida Gonzalez-Fernandez, also known as "Zanny the Nanny." Anthony accused the fictitious nanny of kidnapping her daughter, Caylee.

Watch the video to see In Session's Jean Casarez discuss this latest request from Anthony's attorneys with HLN's Richelle Carey.

In July 2011, a jury acquitted Anthony of all the charges related to her child's death, but convicted her on four counts of lying to law enforcement. She was sentenced to four years. With credit for the time she served before and during her trial, she was released from jail July 17.
