An Orlando mother charged with killing her toddler last year was back in court today where an Orange County judge ruled that Toth will be allowed to live with one of the witnesses testifying against her until her trial.

This developing as the News Station just got a hold of newly released jailhouse phone calls between her and her parents.

“The officers are comparing me to Casey Anthony,” Toth said.

“Don’t listen to them,” her mother responded.

Toth made that phone call to her parents when she was still behind bars charged with killing her two-year-old son Jayce Martin.

The medical examiner said he died of blunt force trauma and suffered for days without medical attention.


“I miss my family,” Toth said over the phone. “I miss my son. I miss my life. I can’t even grieve him properly right now because I’m so worried about my safety.”

Detectives also arrested her boyfriend, Johnathan Pursglove, with reason to believe he was the one who beat Jayce.

“Do not have contact with anyone from his family,” Toth’s father said to her on the phone

“I know,” she responded.

“I know it’s difficult to hear that, but it’s a harsh reality right now,” he said. “And it’s gonna mean the difference. It can alter the outcome of this entire thing.”

“I can’t talk to Johnathan,” she said.

“Or his family- nobody,” her mother chimed in.

“I know,” she said.

“If you do Tori, you’re done,” her mother said.

But jail records show when Toth was out on bond, she went to see Pursglove 10 times on one month, which also violated her boyfriend’s no contact order.

“Please understand that ok?” Toth’s mother cried.

“I know - I understand,” she responded.

“We’re fighting for your life right now,” her mother said.

Her parents vowed to pay her jail bond and professed their love for her over numerous jailhouse phone calls.

“Are you still ok with coming to stay with us?” her father asked.

“Yeah,” Toth said.

But since getting out, Toth has been staying with her boyfriend’s sister, who is also a state witness.

In court today, prosecutors asked the court to take action.

But the judge would not change the terms of Toth’s release. Judge Emerson R. Thompson Jr. said the state could not offer any evidence that Toth and the sister were hindering the justice system.

The trial is set for July.
