Both Kronk and Gonzalez say they were defamed by Anthony and they should be considered creditors.

New documents filed in Casey Anthony civil suit
Read full article: New documents filed in Casey Anthony civil suitORLANDO, Fla. – New documents have been filed in the civil case between Casey Anthony and Zenaida Gonzalez on Tuesday to find out if Anthony is reaping benefits from a Dr. Phil donation, according to Gonzalez's attorney Matt Morgan. Gonzalez shares a similar name as a fictitious baby sitter -- Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez -- whom Anthony initially said kidnapped her 2-year-old daughter in 2008. At Anthony's murder trial last summer, Anthony's defense claimed Caylee drowned in the family's swimming pool and, therefore, had not been abducted. Morgan told Local 6 he filed new documents to find out if Anthony received money from Dr. Phil, who People Magazine reported giving $600,000 to the Caylee Marie Anthony Foundation after an interview with Anthony's parents on his show. George and Cindy Anthony's lawyers or lawyers for Anthony haven't commented on the report.
