Attorney Cynthia Ross, representing the state attorneys office of the 20th Judicial Circuit, requested rescheduling the status hearing to August due to COVID-19 infections in the state prison system.
Twenty-one state prison facilities are listed as having active COVID-19 cases. Toye is currently incarcerated at the Lowell Correctional Institution in Ocala, not among those with active COVID cases. I ve been in contact with defense counsel, Ross told the judge. They ve indicated they have not been able to visit Miss Toye because of COVID in the DOC facilities and want the opportunity to speak with her.
