ORLANDO, FL --  Prosecutors have released a list of witnesses they plan to call in Casey Anthony's murder trial.

Among those expected to be called by the state are Casey's parents and her brother, according to wesh.com

Casey (photos) told investigators that her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony (photos), was kidnapped by a babysitter named Zenaida Gonzalez.  The state plans to have Casey's parents, George and Cindy, to testify that they never heard of, or met, Gozalez.

Other state witnesses include Casey's grandmother, a close childhood friend and a next-door neighbor who loaned Casey a shovel around the time investigators believe Caylee was murdered.

Caylee disappeared last June.  Her skeletal remains were found in a wooded area near Casey's home in December.

The trial is tentatively set for October 12.

ANTHONY'S TO BE DEPOSED IN GONZALEZ CIVIL SUIT

George and Cindy Anthony will face questiong in April in the defamation suit filed by Zaneida Fernandez-Gonzalez.

Gonzalez's attorney, John Morgan, initially wanted the news media at the deposition and a hearing had been scheduled to address the matter on Wednesday.  But the Anthony's attorney, Brad Conway, said he had worked out the matter with Morgan and the hearing was canceled.

In her lawsuit, Gonzalez says she was embarrassed and her reputation damaged after Casey claimed a woman with the same name as hers took Caylee. 

Gonzalez says she never knew or met Casey or her daughter.
