Sarah Boone is on trial for one count of Second Degree Murder for the killing of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres. She left him zipped in a suitcase despite his pleas for help. Boone is asserting self-defense and turned down a plea deal for a lesser charge of Manslaughter with a 15-year sentence shortly before trial. Boone has been in custody since February 2020, when this happened, and went through 8 state-appointed attorneys before the Judge determined that she must represent herself. At the end of August 2024, less than 45 days before trial, her current lawyers parachuted in and volunteered to take the case. The court denied their request for continuance because they took the case, knowing it would go to trial in early October. Jury selection began on October 14, 2024, after a short delay due to Hurricane Milton. The deliberating jury for second-degree murder in Florida is comprised of six jurors.
