A federal bankruptcy judge in Tampa, Fla., tossed out a defamation lawsuit against Casey Anthony on Friday, the Orlando Sentinel reported on Saturday. Zenaida Gonzalez claimed she was defamed when Anthony accused a baby sitter with a similar name of kidnapping her 2-year-old daughter Caylee in 2008. Bankruptcy Judge Rodney May said that Anthony's statements about the baby sitter were not intended to hurt Gonzalez and weren't malicious. Anthony's description of the baby sitter actually did not match Gonzalez, Judge May wrote. Gonzalez's defamation case originally was filed in state court. It was moved to the federal bankruptcy court in Tampa after Anthony filed for bankruptcy.
