NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (WFLA) — A teacher from Pasco County, accused of the tragic murder of her 6-year-old son, will continue to be detained as a judge determined at a pretrial session on Monday.

Justine Mroz, aged 40, made her court appearance dressed in an orange prison uniform and handcuffs.

During the session, Mroz stood before Judge Mary Handsel for a pre-trial detention hearing. Her attorney, based in Orlando, chose to forego the hearing as the prosecution requested that she be denied bail.
