Sarah Boone Testifies in Suitcase Murder Trial, Claims Fear of Abuse

Boone alleges a drunken game led to her boyfriend's death, asserting she kept him trapped out of fear for her life.

Sarah Boone is on trial for the second-degree murder of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr., who died after being zipped inside a suitcase in 2020.
Boone testified that the incident started as a playful game of hide-and-seek but escalated when Torres became angry, prompting her to leave him trapped.
The defense argues Boone acted out of fear, citing a history of alleged abuse and claiming she suffers from Battered Spouse Syndrome.
Prosecutors presented video evidence from Boone's phone showing her taunting Torres while he was trapped, which they argue indicates malicious intent.
The trial includes testimony from multiple witnesses and experts, with closing arguments expected once the defense concludes its case.
