Sarah Boone Sentenced to Life for Suitcase Murder of Boyfriend Jorge Torres Jr.
Dec 2, 2024, 10:38 PM
Sarah Boone, a Florida woman, has been sentenced to life in prison for the second-degree murder of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr. In February 2020, Boone zipped Torres into a suitcase and left him inside for hours until he suffocated. Prosecutors presented video evidence showing Boone taunting Torres as he pleaded for help, saying he couldn't breathe. Boone claimed they had been playing a 'game' when she zipped him into the suitcase. She recorded videos of herself mocking him while he was trapped. There was a history of domestic and alcohol abuse in their relationship. Boone was convicted in October 2024 after a 10-day trial during which the jury deliberated for only 90 minutes. At her sentencing on December 2, 2024, Boone described jail as the 'greatest experience' of her life.
