Sarah Boone was accused of leaving Jorge Torres to die at their home in Winter Park in 2020
A woman accused of leaving her boyfriend to die after he was zipped into a suitcase in their home was found guilty of second-degree murder by a jury in central Florida.
Four years after Sarah Boone was arrested over the death of Jorge Torres, jurors handed down the verdict against her on Friday evening after deliberating for about 90 minutes. Boone had pleaded not guilty.
Boone initially told detectives with the Orange county sheriff’s office that she and Torres had been playing hide-and-seek on 23 February 2020, in their Winter Park, Florida, residence when they thought it would be funny for Torres to get into the suitcase.
They had been drinking and she decided to go to sleep, thinking her boyfriend could get out of the suitcase on his own, she told detectives, according to an arrest report.
Her interrogation can be found on YouTube. It’s been a while, but I think you hear the audio of the incident. It was definitely deliberate.
Yeah, I saw it all on EWU’s channel. Some quality shit on that channel. Though by their logic, everything I do normally in my day-to-day is a red flag!
