According to his defense attorney’s sentencing memo, Toey was raised by a single mother, who later married and had two more children. He was little-supervised, and at age 11 began experimenting with marijuana and spending extended periods of time on the computer. At 15 he dropped out of school. After his mother’s divorce shortly thereafter, he and his family went through a string of evictions, and ended up staying with family friends for a while, where his mother spent much of her time partying, drinking and smoking pot.
