Default 98 ES300 will not start

I have a 98 ES300 and drove it this morning and when I went to drive home, it would not start or even turn over. I called AAA and the guy with AAA said it was the starter that had a loose wire, actually broken off the starter. I replaced the starter and the car still will not turn over. I've checked the battery and it is good. Don't see any fuses that are bad either. Any help would be great.

Does the engine turn over/crank after the starter replacement?

1. Don't trust the AAA guy.
2. How did you check the battery?
3. Have you tried boosting the car?
