The Homeowners' Associatoin in the says its residents are being held hostage in their own homes because of unruly behavior by protestors in front of George and Cindy's home.

The sheriff's office says it needs extra funding because they are pulling deputies out of high crime areas to respond to calls to the Anthony home.

However, commissioners were unwilling to give the sheriff's offices budget a boost.

"It's tough for me to look at my residents and say we'll use taxpayer dollars when we have residents that have bigger criminal activity going on in their community," said Orange County Commissioner Tiffany Moore Russell.

An attorney for the Homeowners' Association said the community doesn't have enough money to continue seeking an injunction against the protesters in court.

Protesters have been showing up at the Anthony home on a regular basis, starting with the Labor Day weekend. The Anthonys cancelled one prayer vigil at their home because of it, but went forward on Sunday night with the vigil even though the homeowners' association asked them not to.

Most protesters were pleased with the judge's denial of the injunction request, but one protestor, a Casey impersonator, was more concerned about the media.

"I'm not talking, because you guys twist everything around and you don't know how to say what we say," the woman told Eyewitness News reporter Derrol Nail.

"I have the decision that says you can stay. What is your reaction?" Nail asked her.

The impersonator gave no response.


ZENAIDA GONZALEZ SPEAKS TO WFTV

The woman Casey Anthony says last had Caylee Anthony, the missing daughter of Casey, says the accusation has turned her world upside down. Channel Nine's Mary Nguyen spoke with Zenaida Gonzalez at the RDV complex in Maitland on Monday morning.

"I just get in the car and cry. I'm being judged for something I didn't do," Zenaida Gonzelez told Eyewitness News.

She is the woman who Casey Anthony claims took 3-year-old Caylee. She said, ever since Casey Anthony told authorities that Zenaida lived at the Sawgrass Apartments and took care of Caylee, her world has been turned upside down.

"I also do have those threatening phone calls at 2:00 or 3:00am, threatening my kids, threatening myself," Gonzalez said.

For the first time, Zenaida Gonzalez revealed her face to the public in an interview with Eyewitness News. Zenaida is a single mother of six and says she is having a hard time coping. She wants everyone to know that she is innocent.

"To clear my name, to get some type of closure. I want the truth to come out. I want them to know that I didn't do anything wrong," Zenaida said.

When Caylee Anthony was reported missing, Casey told detectives the last time she saw her daughter was when she dropped her off at the Sawgrass Apartments. She said she left her with a nanny by the name of Zenaida Gonzalez.

Zenaida said she never met Casey Anthony. She took a tour of the apartment complex earlier in the year, but that's the only connection she has to them.

"There are a lot of people out there who believe in her, that do believe her lies," Zenaida said.

Detectives believe Casey made up the name, but Zenaida says people all over the country are blaming her for Caylee's disappearance.

"They call me bad words right from the beginning and tell me they are going to do bad things to my daughters for what I did to little Casey, I mean Caylee," she said.

Zenaida and her Attorney John Morgan filed a civil lawsuit last week. They said they want her name cleared.

Zenaida said that she has been fired from her job and due to the incident; no one wants to hire her. Zenaida also said she just got of the hospital on Sunday because of a bleeding ulcer.
