Sarah Boone, 47, Gets Life Sentence for Suffocating Boyfriend Jorge Torres in Suitcase
Dec 3, 2024, 12:55 AM
Florida woman Sarah Boone, 47, was sentenced to life in prison on December 2, 2024, after being found guilty of second-degree murder for the 2020 death of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr. Boone had zipped Torres inside a suitcase during what she claimed was a game of hide-and-seek and left him to suffocate. Prosecutors presented video evidence showing Boone taunting Torres while he was trapped inside the suitcase, ignoring his pleas that he couldn't breathe. The jury deliberated for only 90 minutes before convicting Boone after a 10-day trial in October 2024. Boone, who had rejected a plea offer of 15 years, had switched through eight different lawyers before the trial. During sentencing, she referred to her time in jail as the 'greatest experience' of her life. The case highlighted issues of domestic and alcohol abuse in their relationship.
