- In a hearing Thursday, Sarah Boone’s new attorneys said the Florida woman plans to claim self-defense at her boyfriend’s murder trial in October. “We’re using battered spouse syndrome for the defense,” attorney James Owens told the judge. Boone is accused of zipping her boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr., inside a suitcase and leaving him there to die. Video recovered from the night of the crime shows Torres screaming for help while Boone laughed. Boone claimed she fell asleep and forgot he was inside the suitcase.

Florida woman Sarah Boone is accused of killing her boyfriend after she allegedly zipped him up inside a suitcase and left him to die. Jorge Torres Jr. suffocated to death inside Boone’s Winter Park home. Boone claims they were playing hide-and-seek, she forgot he was inside the suitcase, and she fell asleep. Video evidence from the night of Torres Jr.’s death shows the victim inside the suitcase yelling for help while Boone records the video and laughs. Boone called 911 the next day saying her boyfriend was dead. She was arrested for second-degree murder.

She filmed his murder on her own cell phone. And taunted him as he was suffocating to death. I hope justice truly is served here and she's given life without parole. JusticeForJorge 💯
She was drunk and does not remember.
How did he get inside of the suitcase???
Amen to that
@TheWarriorInc 😉👏🎯⚖️
She wanted to watch that video over, and over again.
I am Sick &. Tired of Boone behaving as if She is the Victim here, rather than poor Jorge.😖
Go tell it to your drop bear because you’re clueless about the laws that were created to PROTECT those who are accused!! Perhaps actually edumacte yourself in the Constitution and American Law before spewing nonsense! 🤬
This defense lawyer decided to take this case last notice and now he's furious that he doesn't have enough time.
He’s going to ask Diddy for advise. Ha!
🤣🤣🤣
Two lawyers that are just going to make it an even more circus like atmosphere than what it was
Yes! 🫵🏼
So...her life was in immediate danger while Jorge was ttapped in a suitcase? While she sat, drunk and recording him begging for help? While he begged to be let out and she laughed at him? Okay...I guess Not Guilty
Clearly his bruises were self-inflicted as he threw himself at Sarah from inside the luggage. It's all making sense now.
Super Jorge could harm Sarah while trapped in the suitcase?????? However, he couldn’t get out of it to save himself. Sarah, Sarah, Sarah…. you should gone the insanity route🤣🤣🤣🤣
If this is her defense, she's cooked. The videos alone disprove this.
Her abusive boyfriend has a long history of domestic violence against her. Shes not cooked at all.
they have to put forth some kind of argument, that’s their job. but here’s my question: i thought they were making her represent herself?
@@Bigbubba3031Okay, Boone. Put your laptop away.
@@cartercartercartercarthis lawyer answered her crazy ad she put out in her court papers lol and is representing her pro bono. She was always able to hire a lawyer she just wasn’t getting anymore that were court appointed and paid for.
@@Bigbubba3031ok Bigbubba! Yep you’re legit! Not.
Self-defense…. The dead guy is literally on video locked in a suitcase, begging for his life…… she must’ve been scared shitless😂
She sounded terrified when she was mocking him before she decided to pass out in bed. Maybe she was too scared to wake up til noon.
😅😅😅
How did he get inside the suitcase?
Lmao shouldn't have burned through 8 lawyers Sarah. You guaranteed you're going to be locked up for a long time.
She is delusional!!!! That video shows that she was not in danger but Jorge was he was suffocating in that suitcase pleading with her to let him out. And all she could do was laugh at him slur her words saying you like how it feels!!!! Taunting him berating him she sounds happy doing so!!!! This defense will not be ok with a jury after they watch that video!!! Case closed
Self-defense????? Wow!!!! How was she in danger when he was locked in a suitcase? And if she was afraid of him, she could have run from the house and then called for help for him.
She could have abided by the no contact orders.
She’s done for, she’s the only one that thinks they are going to get her out. They are doing a commercial for their firm and they have Sarah to thank for that 😂
Sarah thinks Diddy is innocent too.
I call Diddly😂
Exactly, best thing would be to plead guilty and hope for some kind of lesser sentence, but she doesn't seem to understand that. She under the delusion she could walk out.
In doing so, she's claiming that she committed a whole lot of perjury during the interviews.
You're not under oath during an interrogation so it can't be perjury.
Ooooo I have been saying this. Finally, someone else said it, too. 👍
@@abebuckingham8198Correct, but her stories have changed too many times for her to be believed.
That's not how perjury works though...
It’s not perjury. It’s just flat out lying. She did have the right to remain silent.
Okay, if it was self defense, why didn’t she call 911 and say “this man is trying to unalive me, but I’ve trapped him in a suitcase. Please come here and help me?
Unalive? Why are people saying this word?
She'd have more luck convincing people that he locked himself in the suitcase to get away from her.
Lol that actually would be better argument
Guilty as charged!!!!!!!
I’m still bummed she won’t represent herself…but her lawyer will still be entertaining
I was thinking it would be a laugh-a-thon but after her meager attempt, I think it would be a bunch of whining about how things aren't fair for her and a gross overuse of the word, "unintentional". Every time I hear that word makes me think of suitcase sarah
She zipped him up in a suitcase, during a happy, puzzle and painting night, in a peculiar game of hide and seek, and refused to let him out, as he begged to be let out because he couldn't breathe - all caught on her phone. Then she went upstairs, leaving him in the suitcase, and says she fell asleep - a drunken sleep - until the next morning after he had suffocated. She told the investigators it was a mistake/ accident. And this altruistic attorney seriously thinks a battered wife defence is viable. She was under absolutely no imminent danger. Her victim was. He perished. He was a battered partner! If this defence is attempted, what a travesty of justice! This "knight-in-shining-armor" attorney should do this defendant and tax payers a favor and negotiate the best plea deal possible for his client.
Agree! SOME BODY out there is WATCHING and drafting a NEW LAW(s) for clients like Sarah Boone. . . .
The headline .....self defense...🤣🤣🤣🤣 Not even possible
Manslaughter. She was drunk.
5 minutes in and Judge Kraynick is already over it.
And I’m 100% with the judge.
😉👏🎯⚖️
Lmaoooo protecting herself from a suitcase, okay
Protecting herself from a rogue zipper!
When she testifies and says self defense, the
Prosecutor will be able to counter with ALL
the times she said it was an accident and
not INTENTIONAL 🤣🤣🤣
She is crazy and guilty ............................
😂😂 self defense against what? Jorge was trapped and dying in the suitcase......
The Judge and State are so sick of her shenanigans that now that she has attys that are really attempting to put on a defense they are over this case already….
Guilty !!!
That night was NOT self defense!
A result of battered woman syndrome?
Her attorney is frantic. This is still a train wreck.
The defense are packing up thier bags, this case is closed.
I wonder if this is the defense she has continued to insist upon against the advice of her previous attorneys. This is risky - she's admitting to killing him. Her 'NOT INTENTIONAL!' statements will contradict that. Yikes
He comes on the case at the 11th hour, knowing the case history of having 9 lawyers, and now he pleads they don't have enough time for anything. This is the game she has pulled for over 4 years.
It won’t stick.
If the defense cant find a witness today after 4 n half yrs. theres no one waiting
Amazing judge who is fair, knowledgeable, and not allowing foolishness...
women got so much nearve when facing obvious guilt
Self defense against what, a zipper gone wild? Stop it!
She's guilty. The video evidence is sickening and more than speaks for itself. One picture in most cases is worth 1000 words. Welcome to the video world, perpetrators! Let's get on with this trial and get some justice for Jorge and his family. She has full blown personality disorder (anti- social, sociopathy, psychopathy, narcissism - not mine to say). She is a dangerous ,violent and deluded.
😉👏🎯⚖️
This defense sounds like some sovereign citizen bs! Insane an actual atty asked for a SOP. 🙃🥴
So he Changes it right on the Spot after he finds out DV will not Fly.Then lied about it.
Is the defense not aware that she admitted to zipping him in the suitcase? Not allowing him out of the suitcase when he could not breathe?
Is defense dense?
How many ‘objections’ during the trial…he is as argumentative as Miss Boone.
Self defense just doesn’t fit in this situation. I don’t get it but ok….
If he was as abusive as she says she would have been better off taking him out defending herself after a beating. She has no chance as it stands, she wasn't defending herself at the time of his death
Lol Sarah is done for
How????? 😂what???? 😂😂😂
“Not intentional”. “Not intentional”.
She got the perfect attorney. He and Sarah are just alike. I hope she gets life. Justice for Jorge. Shes no victim. JORGE WAS....
😉👏🎯⚖️
So now she wants Hair and Make up artist at the court, LMAO 😂😂
Self defense! She's dreaming. No way Jose 😔
Shout-out to the public defenders who also were going for a self-defense argument. It's not like this is magical adequate counsel. She just learned throwing tantrums is not going to work in court and needs to let the lawyer do what lawyers do.
I’m glad defense is going for self-defense. Because NO
ONE watching the death video, will believe that. She
was laughing, giggling, taunting him. She showed no
fear at any time. And it went in on for a while, so by
the end of the tape, when he really sounds BAD, she
still doesn’t care. This will put her right in jail, where
she belongs.
I think Owen’s brought on co-counsel so that they could keep Sarah busy at the defense table rather than letting he keep annoying Owens. Maybe they have her doing puzzles or painting, while Owens is working the case.
OMG, an officer with a fire arm??? The horror of that interview/interrogation! He sounds foolish describing what that interrogation was like. My sympathy goes out to this poor judge having to listening to the lawyer's drivel. I'm curious as to what he'll do when he finds that Sarah is a liar.
😢Omg Did Owens just say he doesnt know if Jorge died on the 23rd Or the 24th. How awful😢
She’s probably ironically now not an alcoholic just bec she’s can’t drink in prison.
that audio issue is the court not the mics? Both had the same problem despite different room acoustics on their end
Who are the two new ladies sitting with her at the defense table?
Not even sure how an attorney thinks self defense may work
Your Honor, my client, didn't kill Mr. Torres… his luggage did… I move to dismiss!
Absolutely love this judge, no nonsense attitude
Sooooooo, she's guilty then!?
He didn't do it himself
The zipper is guilty (that’s her next defense).
She wants her hair and make up done for the trial!!!
Yep, that is crazy!! She really is a narcissistic control freak!
This sounds a lot like enlargement of time means they want a continuance.
I’m preparing my high-pitched “WHAAAT?!” right now.
An impressive Judge!
Just saying you get the lawyers you pay for and she did not pay these lawyers
Well, at least she has a lawyer??? Now we see WHY there were problems with the previous 8 lawyers!!
So, the certificates of service didn’t have any dates. The defense is confused about what she is charged with? The defense seems unclear about what their defense is. Is it self defense, or are they claiming the murder was accidental?
Someone tell me HOW he ended up in the suitcase????
Defendant attorney should have helper to get docs and copies. Seems he waste his time. He drives instead of using zoom. He knew he would have to shut down his office to take this case. Is he regretting taking this case. I wonder if he will survive his choice.
Did Mr. Owens literally say at the ending we need somebody to fix her hair that’s impossible you can’t fix her hair it’s ruined.
I like these prosecutors and we all love this judge.
Money, money 💰 she wants tax payers to pay for defense , what a monster 👹
Self defense 🤣😅😆😂😅😂🤣😆🤣😂😆😅🤣🙄
Well...thats not what all of her letters to the court say. It's not what her previous statements say😂😂😂
This must be the first attorney to make her feel like she was in the right
@@Timmichanga361 loony boony 😆😆
That’s a lie. If they told her to come get her phone why was the 1st question written by Sara “am I getting my phone back today”
Those lawyers who joined on Zoom sounded like they were a galaxy away! Which only further proves that the people who support her live on an alternate planet.
Self defense? Stretch at best...
This “it” has caused all the delays!!! Let’s think about the victim and the family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This woman is just an evil cruel drunk. I know he wasn’t perfect either, but he didn’t deserve this. She needs to go away for life!
.... How does she think this is gonna go???
I LOVE this JUDGE!!! He’s over her CRAP!!!
Does the lawyer know there is a video of it all?
Another narcissist pleading not guilty and wanting the world to hear their story 🤪
Sarah bones hair is the real victim here.
Had the trial started yet ? Or is this just another briefing ?
This is another hearing. I want to say trial’s scheduled to start mid October.
No BSS ruling is the only correct one. Borderline w narcissistic traits. Needs to be told, you are an inmate, you don't get makeup artist on demand. She had every opportunity to make Jorge stay away. Even had him taken off the lease. He was sleeping in a tent in the apartment property, until she decided to let him come back again. He would go to his parents, and she would go over there to pick him up. He didn't have a phone, so she couldn't control what he was doing. She was a cop caller for revenge. She was mad she got arrested, and had to abide by the no contact order. You don't get drunk, call the police on your abuser, and then beg them not arrest him. She also stated in interrogation, she was waiting for Jorge to come upstairs to be intimate with her.
This defense lawyer is asking JACS to pay for 3 experts! 😮 OMGOSH no wayyyyy, this is also wasted money! A crime scene reconstructionist & death expert,,wtf? We KNOW what happened, WHAT A WASTE OF TAXES,,$$$😡. A neighbor facing their balcony said Sara hit on Jorge all the time. HE never called police, SHE lied that he was hitting her several times just to get him out of the condo!!
They really have her chained up. She had more freedom when she was pro se.
I thought she was representing herself.
This guy....... hes defending all of their other fights not the actual murder.......
What do you think?
Owens took this case because he is either writing a book or working on a mini series???
My opinion only is not meant to offend
He has a small firm. Possibly for the advertising. Smart man in that regard. 😊
National stage probably both
OMG that guy was so loud!
How is that possible.. she said they were fine playing hide and seak
Self defense may have worked if she didn’t do so much self snitching and recording lol
How in earth that's selfdefense when Jorge is the victim she record him smile etc she is pure monster 😡 I hope and pray 🙏 she goes to jail she's a bully and I think she was the violent in that relationship I can't stand her actions she's a demon
Fix her hair and makeup?!!!!
Death sentence!!
Makeup and hair stylist? I continue to dislike this murdered more and more every time her name comes up. What a self absorbed narcissist. My heart goes out to the Torres family for the loss or Jorge and this persons ongoing insulting reactions.
how is it self defense he was locked up in a suitcase did the suit case jump up and hit her she is guilty she zipped him up and would not let him out after he beg beg beg and beg and she laugh and mocked him and left him in the suitcase he died because of her I bet she bet him he could not fit without knowing she would zip him in and not letting him out I wish they had a video of her getting him into the suitcase and zipping him in
Guilty case close
Love the Judge!! Hes fair but very firm.
The new counsel is a little disrespectful to the Judge speaking over him a few times there, not proper etiquette!!
