Sarah Boone found guilty of second-degree murder in suitcase death of boyfriend

Sarah Boone, 47, was found guilty of second-degree murder for the death of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres, 42. The jury's decision came despite Boone's claims that the incident was accidental during a game of hide-and-seek in February 2020. Video evidence showed Torres pleading for help while trapped in a suitcase, as Boone laughed and taunted him. Boone rejected a plea deal that would have resulted in a lesser sentence, insisting she did not intend to kill him. Boone's trial included her claims of past abuse from Torres, but the jury ultimately convicted her. She is scheduled for sentencing on December 2.
