(CBS/WKMG) ORLANDO, Fla. - The attorneys suing Casey Anthony for defamation on behalf of her "fake nanny" are going after her psychological evaluations, and also want to know what  offers she's received for television appearances and book deals.

The request was filed Wednesday by the attorney for Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez. Anthony told investigators her daughter Caylee was kidnapped by a nanny named Zenaida Gonzalez, but during her murder trial Anthony's defense team admitted the nanny was fictitious and claimed that Caylee actually drowned in the Anthony family pool. Gonzalez is suing Anthony for defamation.

On July 5, a jury found Anthony not guilty of murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter in the death of her daughter.

The attorneys representing Gonzalez wanted to question Anthony under oath this week, but a judge denied that request and set her deposition for October, reports CBS affiliate WKMG.

In their latest filing, attorney John Dill said he wants Anthony to produce all documents related to any psychological or psychiatric evaluations.

The attorneys also want Anthony to produce all documents related to offers of "any type" made to her or her representatives for "interviews, television show appearances, movies, books, magazines, newspapers, advertisements, literature...,"reports the Orlando Sentinel.  

The document asks Anthony to produce the items within 30 days.

In the meantime, law enforcement, the Orange County clerk and the State Attorney's Office continue to tally their costs for the time-consuming, high-profile case. 

As of Wednesday, Anthony's defense team billed $147,018 for a range of categories, including expert witnesses, mental-health evaluations and court-reporting services. So far, the state has paid $118,847 of those expenses and determined it will not pay nearly $12,000 of that total, reports the Sentinel.

Anthony, 25, was convicted of four counts of lying to law enforcement and was released from jail early Sunday. Her whereabouts are not publicly known.
