Florida Woman to Represent Herself in Boyfriend's Suitcase Death Trial

Sarah Boone, accused of second-degree murder, has gone through eight lawyers since her 2020 arrest.

Sarah Boone, 46, is charged with second-degree murder for the death of Jorge Torres Jr., who died in a suitcase in 2020.
Boone must represent herself after a judge ruled she could not keep another court-appointed attorney.
The trial has been delayed multiple times, partly due to Boone's contentious relationships with her lawyers.
Boone's behavior and numerous lawyer changes are seen as attempts to postpone the trial.
The trial is scheduled to begin on October 7, 2024, with no further delays allowed except under extraordinary circumstances.
