Casey Anthony’s bankruptcy case resumed in Tampa with the focus primarily on the two defamation suits filed against her by Zenaida Gonzalez and Roy Kronk. Last month, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge K. Rodney May heard from attorneys representing the two. Gonzalez and Kronk want the judge to delay the deadline to object to the bankruptcy until after their civil suits are decided. The judge must also decide whether the suits should be resolved in state or federal court.
Anthony filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in January in Tampa, claiming $1,000 in assets and $792,000 in liabilities. Gonzalez and Kronk were listed as creditors and their cases were put on hold. Gonzalez’s suit claims her reputation was ruined when Anthony told investigators looking for Caylee in 2008 that a babysitter named Zenaida Gonzalez had kidnapped her daughter.
Kronk, a meter reader who found Caylee’s remains in the woods near the Anthony home, claims his reputation was harmed when Anthony’s attorneys wrongly implicated him in the child’s death. Anthony’s civil attorneys have said both lawsuits are frivolous and should not deny her the “fresh start” she is seeking through bankruptcy protection.
