Two things that I found problematic in her testimony: 1. According to Sarah, they were joking and laughing UNTIL Sarah starts taking the video and mocking Jorge when he's begging to be let out. To me, THAT sounds like the overt act (on her part). 2. Sarah conveniently can't remember taking the picture of the suitcase (and she initially said she didn't remember taking the videos), but interestingly, she can remember what she was thinking and feeling at that time...huh?
@@LaLaLonna I was shocked and confused, as well. I guess it's an appellate issue, because the standard to establish the overt act is so very very low. He was literally trying to survive and then she beat him with the bat... who is the aggressor? Who is the victim? They're really just trying to argue that Jorge deserved what he got, and the prosecution has nothing to say?
I don't care what he did prior. That day, according to her several times, said it was a great day. She is absolutely guilty, in my opinion. He did not deserve to be in that suitcase dying a slow death suffocating. It's heartless and brutal!!
She seems detached from it all. Not remotely upset. Ok she might have suffered at this persons hands, who knows, but you’d be horrified surely if the end result was actually accidental.
50:13 Sarah’s being incarcerated has ZERO to do with her lack of emotion. She didn’t shed a single tear for him THAT VERY DAY. She was more concerned with her Dr Pepper than her dead fiancé.
When the police were in her home and she was outside after his death, she acted very blasé. Like nothing going on had anything to do with her. Her ex was there and a police officer.
Nope. No tears for Jorge but she was nearly in tears when she said she needed her dr pepper because she was so thirsty. Crying for Dr pepper which was probably spiked. Oxygen thief
The 11 minutes btwn the videos is where she says he threatened her. BS! She doesn't remember taking the videos but remembers that he threatened her? I hope the jury sees that discrepancy.
@@ameliaestrada8023 Yes, exactly. It would've been the best time to see his abuse. Except we seen him pleading for his life. Not yelling at her, threatening her, etc. Hope she gets everything she deserves
I’m sorry, even with those photos, she was not in ANY danger that night. She instigated everything that happened that night, and he was pleading for his life. Make no mistake, yes she was abused but she was also abusive. They were both toxic to each other.
Amber Heard 2.0. I was waiting for her dog to step in a bee and she was SO scared. She was always scared. Liar!!! She was the aggressor and couldn't believe that Jorge hit her back. I doubt Brian ever did.
Abuse victims don't sleep... no. She said several times that she'd just go to sleep. No way in hell Abusers can go to sleep right after a fight, but not the victims
Absolutely. I mean these two really messed up each other. Yet? She never was in fear that once freed he would want to punish her as she punished him? That doesn't make any sense unless she was the main agressor. She even thought after everything she said he would be in a loving mood.
I am a recovering alcoholic (sobor 19 years) when in my addiction I often had lots of bruises and cuts, even a black eye, and NO BODY was abusing me. All we got was HER explanation of the photos and she is a liar.
@@AlexAndra-iy5zuYes, I agree. It's amazing how some people are engaging in the same type of dysfunctional thinking that we ridicule Sarah for having. Just because someone is prone to distorting the truth does not mean the majority of what they say is not true. Even the greatest liar in the world says more true things than not if we consider ALL their statements.
@@AlexAndra-iy5zuDisclaimer: I'm making assumptions.... Jorge came from a family that normalized violence. Evidence? We know of 3 Torres brothers that have committed at least 1 heinous act against a person.
She didn't flinch. The man she "loves" died in that case and she didn't hesitate. She also offered to show how she swung the bat. That felt cold to me.
The way she approached the suitcase, like she was proud of herself. I'm glad the psychiatrist said she is narcissistic. Even though she walked it back and said she had PTSD. Right! Sure Sarah.
I can only hope my comment is seen. I've been thru almost everything sb has been thru. The PERFECT time to go to the police was WHILE HE WAS IN THAT SUITCASE🤬 She effed up n forgot him after she beat him to a pulp. No more empathy from an actual survivor. 💜 Thank you Peter💜
From my interpretation of the suitcase demonstration, I thought it showed how hard it is to open from the outside, therefore imagine how much HARDER it must’ve been from the INSIDE to open it! Proving that Jorge had no way of getting out even with a couple fingers free. Also, her snark asking if they want her to demonstrate, how can you offer a demonstration of your partner dying? A supposed traumatic event?? No remorse, maybe even excitement.
I also wonder if the state wanted to show the actual size of the suitcase, sort of give the jury a visual just after the def kept alluding to how big the suitcase was. One thing that bugged me as well was, def kept saying it was a big case, but then SB carried on saying how they were laughing that he could actually fit in it.
I wouldn't say impressed, but it did show me how mutually abusive their relationship was. It wasn't just her. With that being said, that didn't have much bearing so far on how I view what happened to Jorge. She obviously wasn't fearing for her life. The whole battered wife syndrome just isn't a good defense. She should have left it an accident and taken the deal. I do feel like that's more fitting of the situation.
@@justthatgirl-ct4jo I personally thought that was the case before the trial. But yeah, prior abuse al9ne doesn't give permit to kill. They need to prove more then her being in a toxic relationship.
I think if you never saw her before, and she was all meek and soft spoken on the stand, you might think she was a victim. Of course, we all have seen how cruel and callous she has been since day 1
@@jeanreed1975 "never called the police on Jorge" what? Have you been paying attention? She threatened to get him arrested on multiple occasions and followed through numerous times- she was even arrested herself. She shouldn't get away with murder, but let's not spread a false narrative here.
I was disappointed that the prosecution did not ask her where the picture was of her chuck of hair that was left on the staircase after dragging her down
My late uncle was an alcoholic and he would pass out outside by the pool on concrete, he’d fall into his closet. I’d come in the morning to check on my grandma and he’d have all kinds of wounds and my 90 year old grandma WAS NOT INFLICTING THEM…
I agree. Most alcoholics bruise super easy. I bet Jorge didn't even do half of what she accused him of. To me, the arrest video of Jorge when she pretended to him she would do what she could, but she had called the cops on him. She came running out, all giddy l, when the cops arrived. And she even tried to hug one cop, who vehemently declined the offer.
I used to be in active alcoholism. Gratefully I have been sober for 5 1/2 years. I also suffered untreated borderline personality disorder. I fell literally on my face twice while drunk, leaving 2 scars on my face that I have until this day. I took a butcher knife to my own calf while drunk and cut all the way into the muscle and had a bunch of stitches and have a nasty scar from it. I also fell and busted my scalp open which resulted in stitches. These were all gnarly injuries, just like her photos, and SELF INFLICTED. I’m just saying, don’t believe everything from what you see on the surface. No one ever laid a hand on me, but I did plenty of damage to myself.
Exactly. Thank for sharing your personal experience. I also don’t buy her narrative either the picture of Jorge hiring the tv. If he was pointing it at her in a way that would make her fearful, she wouldn’t be taking pictures. Plus, when my aTv broke, I let my son destroy it with a bat and it was funny for him. I still have that video and pictures. So I don’t believe a word she is saying.
I find it too convenient there's no video of him in the suitcase threatening her. She would have definitely recorded that. So she stopped the recording when he started? Girl please.
Exactly! And the phone extraction report shows the camera app wasn't even closed between those two videos. Literally, the touch of a button to record the key moments.
@@luminessa_von_Bexactly he had no idea when she was video recording. So he wouldn’t have known when to say threats or not. She is lying about the whole thing. She was watching him die.
Exactly. It's eerie, but if she's being truthful, she had shut down her emotions long ago. Brian's testimony was flippant and unconcerned for Sarah. How come he didn't seek police whenever Jorge attacked her? He had plenty of reasons to legally apply to pull his son out of shared custody at Sarah's home
Bingo! And how does she remember that Jorge threatened to kill her if she blacked out? Clearly, she has no memory of taking those videos because if she had remembered, she would’ve deleted them prior to calling the authorities. So that tells me that her story about Jorge threatening her from within the suitcase, which basically is the crux of their entire case is complete and utter bull crap.
The prosecutor rushed the cross, didn’t ask follow up questions, didn’t corner her into admitting she wasn’t in fear and that she mocked and laughed at him, acted out of revenge not fear, didn’t bring up her interrogation answers, and missed a lot of opportunities. Id give it a D.
I'm so mad and disappointed in the state. They've had so long to prepare for this, her stories are nonsense and full of lies, including damning video evidence - yet they're letting this slip through their fingers, and not fighting for justice for Jorge and his family. They really, really need to step up their game now, even though they had all the best cards, and she's a manipulative, controlling, aggressive liar.
It's the equivalent of making it to a championship fight, and somehow knocking yourself out right after they ring the bell. There's no way Boone can win, unless the state just totally blows it.
Regarding the suitcase, I think it proved how hard the zipper was to unzip and where he was positioned with his head and hands, how hard it would be for him to unzip.
Personally, I don't think he thought about zipping it up. I think he just got in the suitcase and was just going to put the top part over to where he was covered . That is if they were playing hide and seek. And I'm not convinced that this was not premeditated. I think she planned this. I think she got him drunk and then somehow convinced him to get in the suitcase to see if he fit. Maybe she tried first, but he let her out, and then when he went in, she zipped up and wouldn't let him out.
How can the jury buy ANYTHING she is saying on the stand after seeing the interrogation and the videos? She can't keep her story straight. She contradicts herself every time she realizes a statement or an answer makes her look bad. If she doesn't remember taking the videos, how can she remember what was going through her head at the time? How could she be both afraid he would kill her if he got out and also sure he was fine and would be able to get out without her help? I'm disappointed in the prosecution for not going harder on all of the contradictions.
Am I the only one who did NOT think she did well on the stand?? Like Peter, I was appalled by the lack of even an attempt at generating emotion. Her callousness on the stand immediately made me feel like this was the same callousness she had when zipping up Jorge. Several aspects of the narrative didnt make sense: she talked about how great and fun of an evening they’d had, so her acts weren’t premeditated, but now is saying she kept suggesting new activities to bring up the mood. Which was it? How does she explain the neighbors hearing something tumble down the stairs? She felt brave enough to tell off Jorge while he was in the suitcase because she knew he was trapped there, but then went to sleep because she knew he could get himself out?
I would think that if she was truly afraid for her life, or even sad or sorry at all, she would not have wanted to touch the suitcase. Especially when the prosecutor offered to handle it for her. Her body language was very open to recalling such a traumatic experience. She even offered to demonstrate how she used the bat! 🤯
She was exactly like she was in the interrogation...spinning a story that she thinks will get her home. She doesn't care about the truth...she cares about winning. She lies as easily as she breaths
I just commented this same exact thing on another channel. She showed zero emotion. She seems like a psychopath, when asked if she has children and their names she says her sons name so casually. Also, when speaking about Jorge and her dogs, ZERO emotion again.
I’m listening live each day with EDB, then listening/watching Peters thoughts/comments in the evening. The way EDB lost her mind when the prosecutor had Sarah step down into the well was everything.
For someone who can't remember she made a couple videos. She has excellent recall for the 9-minute gap. She's had 3 years to refine that story into something believable. Both are guilty of DV but she wasn't in fear for her life, or she would've fled or dialed 911. Did the prosecution think O.J. was convicted? What about the interrogation video? C'mon!!! Why is she playing with the zipper? Did O.J. teach you nothing? Sheez I'm sorry, this was a terrible day for the state.
Boone's continually stating how she came up with activities to keep him happy really turned me off. I found her arrogant and condescending. She sounded like she was a child's therapist using play activities. It was obvious she was trying to allude to an abused spouse but a huge fail in my opinion.
same! it did her no favors and made her come across as extremely unlikeable. It was the part that stood out the most to me but was the hardest to explain why
That`s how she`s been since day one. Always condescending talking down. The day after she murdered him she said she`s the best thing that ever happened to him. She talks about how he used her money, HER money? More like Brians money. That women hadn`t worked in years
I think as a juror I would see how hard it was for her to zip it and how could she expect him to get out?! He let her zip him in & they laughed. He didn’t know she wasn’t going to let him out. Also, her saying she could demonstrate it made me feel icky. The person you “loved” passed away in it. No emotions at all!
All I can hear is Jorge saying "Sarah I cant breathe!" No matter what her claims are. She trapped him and left him to die. Those cries were earth shattering.
Me too. Everything she said on the stand just sounded disingenuous and not credible. She was hamming it up and that made me doubt her credibility. Plus if someone was truly abused, they wouldn’t be able to talk about it in a matter of fact way.
Anyone else notice that when Jorge allegedly told her to make up a lie for hospital after he stabbed her, she immediately went to a 'playing a game' scenario, that time they were 'playing swordfighting with their steak knives and slipped' stabbing her leg. Swordfighting, Hide & Seek ... hmmm
She was never in danger as she could have used her cell phone at any time and left the house while she awaited help if she actually feared for her life.
She did use her phone after. She called her ex. But she didn't leave and he doesn't remember something alarming like "I put Jorge in a suitcase, he's gonna kill me" Brian didn't remember what she was nattering about but surely that would have pierced a sleep fog..
Easy to say if you've never lived like that. Trying to leave is the most dangerous time for the target of abuse. The law often does not help. That line from that song, "he walked right through that restraining order and put her in intensive care", is very true in st many cases. Except it's the morgue for many.
@Angi_Mathochist What does that have to do with this case? Anyone can see that in those cell phone videos, she was taunting Jorge cause she could. She's a killer.
Right? So many victims stay because they fear the abuser using their financial/social power to get custody of the children. But, in her situation, she could have lost her partial custody of Lucas. Like, isn't just fighting in front of a kid considered child abuse? Plus the alcohol intoxication.
I was struck by her lack of emotion, she was just flat. But even more I noticed her smiles and smirks when there were side bars and was left sitting on the stand. I thought it was odd like she was getting away with something
She's enjoying nearly every minute of this. This is why she didn't want to take the plea, she doesn't want to miss out on all the attention even if negative.
It looked to me like she was giddy that she was getting her five mins on the stage. The same sort of smiling that a bride might do getting ready to walk down the aisle. She’s seriously sick
Very selective memory. Perfectly recalls everything on direct then can't remember anything on cross. Was simultaneously scared that he'd come to bed and also expected him to come to bed.
And then she pushed him down the staircase. I think she hit him with the bat first, thought she killed him and that's when she put him in the suitcase. Fits with the testimony of what the neighbors said.
Because with her self defense argument she essentially admitted she lied about most of what she told authorities, so if they would have mentioned that she would have just said she misspoke
It was four years ago that this detective dealt with SB. She has had tons of cases since. You can't blame her for not acting like it was yesterday for crying out loud.
We need to realize (even more) how special this channel, community, and Peter and the team are. This guy, who says he is not "emotional and sensitive," is more cognizant of psychology and humanity than channels looking at it from a mental health perspective. I'm not saying this just because I'm a fellow Nole. 😊
It’s funny that you say you’re not sensitive, Peter, because I think you come across acutely tuned in to people - you probably see it as being unbiased and pragmatic but I think it takes a lot of sensitivity to view both sides of issues.
I’ve been following this case since the start and this has been my go to channel for balanced, non-sensationalised commentary. Lots of respect to Owens and his team as well for taking the case under impossible circumstances.
*Right?!* that’s what I love most about this channel too! I’ve stopped watching some true crime channels bc of the one sided hatred they spew. They let it completely cloud their judgement instead of thinking sensibly and being fair to both parties without letting personal feelings get in the way of that.
Her BLINK RATE is absolutely insanely high. That screams extreme nervousness even though she tries to appear calm on the outside. The many lip compressions also reveal that she is afraid of saying the wrong thing.
I was struck by her emotionless demeanour when the State brought out the actual suitcase followed by her demonstration with the zip. She had said earlier on the stand that she still loves him. I felt so uncomfortable seeing her with that suitcase and the visual of him inside. Thank you for this Peter🙏😊
Perhaps Soros ppl paid state & judge a visit last night Someone has been coach Sarah for 4 years. Someone is paying the documented corrupt Owens /henderson
Why didn’t they show George begging to be allowed out of suitcase? Yet they allowed her to say he threatened her during the 11 minutes that can’t be proven?
For a pretty high profile case, I would’ve expected a more veteran litigator who can deliver a much better cross examination. Maybe they thought the case was so strong they could sub in the B team
@@sunsensational I feel like quite a lot got blocked as well though. By having certain arguments/defenses blocked, does that go both ways because they can’t reference those defenses? I’m unsure. But I get the feeling they have to be careful how they approach things in case they open any doors.
She had the A team and didn't get along with them. Now she has the remnant. Her own fault. I bet the previous attorneys wouldn't risk their career to play along with her lies. This one doesn't seem to mind.
Alcoholics also bruise super easily, and are more prone to injuries, so I think some of the bruising could also be explained that way when it comes to Sarah Bloom’s injuries from previous instances of violence. I’m not saying that she never was abused, I’m just saying that, it’s hard to say every single bruise she had was necessarily from Jorge
I felt the opposite. After Sarah’s testimony I thought she was way worse than I first thought and what she was saying was unbelievable. You can hear how he wasn’t able to speak because of lack of air then there was 11 mins before the next short recording which is the same as the first him breathlessly calling Sarah’s name. Hard to believe during the 11 mins he somehow argues. And Sarah is so terrified that she falls asleep for hours and hours. Pleeese. Sarah the punisher. I don’t know if she was sober enough to think logically if Jorge will die but she chose the action to leave him in there and beat him and as a consequence he died and that is because of her actions not his.
That’s what I thought too. Leading Q one after the other….50 of them. State doesn’t object because it’s not necessary? It saves time to not object? If objecting the jury gets a bad taste in their mouth from the state? What’s the strategy?
This is the third or fourth iteration of these "facts" and she STILL can't muster up a tear for the man she claims to have had a "two bodies - one soul" relationship with. I too am calling BS!
Context, Jorge is stuck in the suitcase. Sarah - "Please stop doing this to me! Please stop doing this to me!" Doing what? Asking you to let him out? Even if it was funny at first, she admitted that she started antagonizing him first. That's when he started to get angry, wanting to get out of the suitcase. Yet, she's trying to say that she's the victim because he was angry that she wasn't letting him out. Wow. Ok. I think Jorge had the right to start getting angry when she's antagonizing him. This is not a battered spouse situation. This was a power situation, where she had power over him and wanted to teach him a lesson. She said multiple times that "she was gonna give him 5 minutes" to think about they way he treats her, sometimes. It may not have been an intentional act. But she definitely had a flagrant disregard for whether or not he lived or died. I bet she wanted him to die, based on what she said in those texts. The part about "I'll get rid of him."
Boone made up the phone call about her saying, "Can you get your phone tomorrow because im pregnant and not feeling good. Her lawyer used that when they were trying to get the interrogation thrown own. Judge said her timeline of the phone call didnt make sense with how long she said she was at the scene, and even if it did, she wouldn't have written down "when do i get my phone back?" In her list of questions if she thought she was going there to get it back at that moment. Awe, i love how this judge does his homework! I just wish the jury could know about some of the inconsistencies. 😅
Honestly just feels the same to me. They were both abusers to each other and I still think that under the influence she decided to get revenge and passed out and didn't intend for him to die. I dont think she thought of suffocation. I dont think she thought very far ahead. I see her as a pretty pathetic person who should of took that deal. She doesn't deserve anything less in my eyes. That's just my opinion.
I agree. The pictures didn’t change my opinion whatsoever. She got drunk, got mad, wanted revenge, and killed him by not realizing the consequences. BSS still doesn’t apply to what happened that night and she needs to be punished for it
In my experience, battered spouses wouldn't have this much evidence of any abuse in a phone he has access to. The phone would have been destroyed by the perpetrator.
When they asked her how she met George “Wellll when I was trying to spend some time away from the marital home..blah blah blah…” AT A BAR- YOU MET AT A BAR!!!!!!
The suitcase demo: So LYK said his mind goes to Jorge being in on the game because it took her so long to zip up. My mind goes elsewhere. He was probably incapacitated. Sarah PUT him in the suitcase, she took however long to zip it up, and then she threw the suitcase down the stairs. All of that is consistent with his injuries and the neighbours testimony. As a juror that's exactly what I would be thinking. Especially given how she speaks whilst on the stand with zero remorse, zero care, zero interest in anything but herself.
Sarah did not put him in the suitcase, how would that be possible? He got into the suitcase on his own. If he was not wanting it zipped up with that suitcase there is no way that he could not prevent her from zipping it up
@@christines2451 He weighs 100 pounds (45kg) soaking wet. she could roll him into it, or whilst he is incapacitated/groggy from her beating him, she can manouver him into the case under his own steam. There's dozens of different ways that it would be reasonable for her to put him in the case. I'm not saying LYK's viewpoint isn't reasonable, it totally is, but it's not where my mind went based purely on what's happening in court.
@@christines2451 You're ignoring that he was not only drunk, but had head injuries. Blunt force trauma from the bat she admits she used on him. We only have her word that she didn't whack him with the bat and knock him senseless before putting him in the suitcase. Also despite her lies on the stand, her jail booking info, the day she was arrested, shows she was 40lbs heavier than Jorge at the time.
@@christines2451 According to the neighbours there was fighting and screaming and something crashed down the stairs that made the walls shake. Either the neighbours lie or Sarah Boone.
DV is unforgivable, but she should not have left him inside the suitcase for almost 14 hours. This trial is not about DV, it is about the death of her boyfriend.
It will be devastating if she is acquitted of this crime because jurors feel sympathy for her prior abusive episodes. I've been in that situation and you need to take responsibility for yourself and end the relationship - not someone's life.
@@luminessa_von_B especially since she has done the same to jorge AND her exhusband. her exhusband legit said he wouldn’t be surprised if she was the one that was initiating the fights. even the cops were brushing off her attacks against him just because he could handle her physically for the most part
Sarah's testimony was ridiculous. If she was so terrified, why not call the cops when she had him trapped? She went upstairs and to bed. If she thought he could get out and was terrified, he would hurt her. Why did she go upstairs to bed? Doesn't sound like a bruised and battered woman. No, she was trying to punish him for cheating on her. I don't believe she meant to kill him, but her actions lead to his death.
I have to say i was extremely impressed with the prosecution pre-trial, but so far in the actual trial they are leaving me wanting. There were so many things they could have exposed in their cross of Sarah that they just didn't. Also, at no point in their case did they mention that Sarah said in the 911 call that "[she] put [her] boyfriend in a suitcase"...not "zipped" or "my boyfriend GOT into a suitcase", but "[she] PUT" him in a suitcase. This feels like a pretty big thing to point out.
Great coverage. I am watching the trial with EBD, and still appreciate your recaps. Really love your channel, Peter. You are so positive and balanced. You uphold the law. I admire you - lawyer to lawyer.
Not defending Sarah but it’s important to remember people have different coping skills (some people really emotionally distance themselves from trauma). Making the statement that survivors look a certain way is really damaging to the cause of supporting people in these situations.
@@Ennuisprinklesi don’t buy she was abused. At best it was mutual and she was the instigator. She was a drunk and drunks notoriously fall all over the place and hurt themselves. Jorge is not here to speak for himself.
Why did the prosecution not object!?!?! Why did they let him lead her? What is the strategy behind that!?!? I am so frustrated by this, there HAS to be a strategy🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I don’t comment much or participate in a lot of the live chats because I get overwhelmed by so many comments flying by. Anyways, my point is this really a great channel and I always appreciate your level headed approach on cases. I thought I had my mind made up about Sarah Boone which I don’t do normally before the end of trial, but my head is all over the place with this case.
A little bit disappointed in the cross examination. 4 years of delays, lawyers and letters and this is what they had? I admit though it ended really well.
I think Jay knew if he kept it simple as a jury member, I certainly would have seen that as a confident power move. He knows he's got her! He wants the jury to see he doesn't need to sink her she sunk herself
Peter, I didn’t catch you live. But when the state had Sarah B zip up the suitcase, it showed me that Jorge COULD NOT HAVE opened it by himself. took three people to close it. She knew it was difficult and left him to die. He needed help getting out.
Speculation: Sarah’s version of hide and seek, from up in the bedroom. “Hey George I’ll bet you $20 you can’t completely fit yourself into the Suitcase at the bottom of the bed. George: you’re on! Sahara: wait you’re not totally in until I can get it fully zipped. 2 minutes later the neighbors hear what sounds like something (a suitcase filled with George bouncing down the stairs). 2 minutes after that Sarah gets another glass of wine, retires to the couch and makes some home videos to commemorate the event. 🤔
This has been the Sarah Boone show since the beginning, she has never shown any remorse not even on the stand. This is why I really want to know if this particular judge usually shares his thoughts at sentencing
Missed you Live! I’m watchin’ now! 📺 Re-watch crew tonight! PS. Thank you, Peter, for your great insight, passion, enthusiasm, for being fair & just, for teaching me SO much, & for ALL you do for us… your short & long-time (me!) followers! You ROCK, Peter!!!🔥
Peter, you MISSED the best part of cross! Mr Jay showed a picture of the suitcase, that she had taken on her phone at 11:03pm! Which means he was in the suitcase for at least nine minutes before she started filming at 11:12, begging for his life! When the hell did he stick out his hand & try to attack her??? He was already near death!
I have two theories on how he got into that suitcase, but neither of them involve playing “hide and seek”. I think either: 1. She hit him with the bat during an argument and knocked him out. She panicked and stuffed him in the suitcase. When he woke up, she got giggly because she was relieved she didn’t have to hide a body and then started taunting him because she was still mad. She then just decided that she wanted him dead, and figured Brian would help her cover it up. Brian then foiled the plan the next morning. 2. He passed out from drinking too much. She thought they were going to have $ex (as she mentioned) and since she was also drunk, she got mad. To play a trick on him, she put him in the suitcase, and when he came to, she just started berating him (queue the video). She left him in there out of being smug and self righteous about her amazing prank and that he deserved to have to fight his way out. I’m leaning toward #2. I just can’t believe they would have been thinking it’s funny long enough to get that suitcase zipped up based on the time it took to get it zipped in court. I also can’t believe that two adults would play hide and seek in their own home. I think she was abused. I also think Jorge was abused. I think they were a powder keg. One of them was probably always going to kill the other, it just depended on who got there first.
Also during one of her first confessions to the police, she said she only left enough room for two fingers to stick out. Now she's saying a whole hand was out. If his hand was out he could get out, and he would also have air to breathe
To add to the Super Chat at 1:32:36... We literally just went to Cabo for my brother's wedding. Our carry-on bags that we use all the time, the zippers were easy-peasy, as always. Our bigger bag that we check, hardly use and has been in storage for years, the zipper was much harder to use. The suitcase they are show casing now has been sitting around for at least four years.
I think it had nothing to do with the difficulty with opening and closing the suitcase. She indicated an area on full display in the second video. No zip visible. She made up the opening later
regardless of how abusive jorge was, no one deserves such a death. if she was genuinely under threat that day, this all would have ended very differently.
Well I don't see how she cam claim to have been "terrified" as Jorge was angry and threatening to "end her" because that certainly didn't come across in the videos she made. And why did she go to bed expecting him to come and join her if she was so in fear for her life, or "disfigurement". I agree her injuries from PAST incidents were very graphic, but sadly Jorge can't explain any incidents in which he was the victim. I'm also fairly sure from what I've seen and heard that Jorge was certainly a victim of controlling and emotionally abusive behaviour. A classic codependent relationship. But again, sadly, we cant hear his side of this. RIP Jorge.
for some of the injuries there are gladly explanations. When she called the cops on him because he "kicked her in the face for no reasons" she ended up getting arrested as well. Because the strangulation marks on his neck told another story. So did he. And while her "story" was never complete because she could never remember the moments when she attacked HIM.. HIS story was solid from start to end. Also her ex husband told how easy she gets aggressive while Jorge never had anything to do with DV before he met Sarah. I am more than sure that her injuries are not from DV but from Jorge defending himself. I so hope she doesn't fool the jury.
To those of you who may be believing her....keep in mind alcoholics bruise and hurt themselves all the time. Their blood is thinner and they are clumsy. I had a friend who SB reminds me of SO MUCH. when she would get drunk she would attack/jump on/throw things and hit her boyfriend. While attacking him she gave herself bruises, scars, marks and even broke a finger once. I witnessed it all the times because i was staying with them for a while. The next day she would be crying to me, blaming him for her injuries. If i hadnt witnessed it i would have believed her. She lived covered in bruises and marks, she always had injuries alot of which came from her falling and running into things when she was drunk. She also always had drama going on, was never happy, it was always everyone elses fault and in her mind she was the victim, she tried when others wouldnt and she was a WONDERFUL mom (she absolutely wasnt) Like i said...when i see SB she acts just like my ex friend. Dont be gullible. SB is SO problematic and was abusive long before Jorge....
It boggles my mind why the prosecution, when questioning Boone, didn't simply ask why when you were in fear of your life in this heightened state of fight or flight to the extent you picked up a baseball bat to hit Jorge to keep him in the suitcase did you then go upstairs to sleep
Agree. She had too much confidence giving her phone to the police. She should have been honest from the start, she was hammered that night. Always exercise your rights, get an attorney.
This was in Florida, and my experience living in humidity is things like zippers rust very quickly. So I believe Sarah that it wasn't as hard in the courtroom as it was the day she zipped him closed. I don't know if that helps or hinders her, but it was a thought I had that wasn't mentioned
it is also going to be easier to zip with something heavy to hold it down, like Jeorge. Also it had a paper clip as a pull then and it doesn't seem too now. Where would that paper clip have gone? Isn't the pink paperclip part of the evidence, part of the suitcase?
What no one has explained yet is….if George was crazy mad and going to hurt her if he gets out…and she has left him room to escape…how does she calmly go upstairs and fall asleep? If you know he can get out, you would leave…be behind a locked door…be shaking in your shoes…but not sleeping!!
The bat picture of Jorge could have been another of the fun games that they played - maybe the TV was already broken and they agreed to smash it when they were drunk. No way to know since Jorge is dead.

Two things that I found problematic in her testimony:
1. According to Sarah, they were joking and laughing UNTIL Sarah starts taking the video and mocking Jorge when he's begging to be let out. To me, THAT sounds like the overt act (on her part).
2. Sarah conveniently can't remember taking the picture of the suitcase (and she initially said she didn't remember taking the videos), but interestingly, she can remember what she was thinking and feeling at that time...huh?
All of what you say is valid. It makes me want to hear what they experts will say. 😊
I still can't believe the judge considered a man trying to free himself when he can't breathe an "overt act" 🙄🙄🙄
Actually, she can only nod and agree with what her lawyer is telling her she "remembers".
@@LaLaLonna I was shocked and confused, as well. I guess it's an appellate issue, because the standard to establish the overt act is so very very low. He was literally trying to survive and then she beat him with the bat... who is the aggressor? Who is the victim? They're really just trying to argue that Jorge deserved what he got, and the prosecution has nothing to say?
Yep, she was 100% the instigator here. I am so surprised the judge allowed the self defence to come in.
I don't care what he did prior. That day, according to her several times, said it was a great day. She is absolutely guilty, in my opinion. He did not deserve to be in that suitcase dying a slow death suffocating. It's heartless and brutal!!
CLR (Criminal Lawyer Reacts) Bruce Rivers says this is not a bss case. He said that twice, while listening to her during the Suppression Hearing.
She probably planned it. I don't think she thought he would die, but she must have say something like, there's not you can fit in that case.
💯
She seems detached from it all. Not remotely upset. Ok she might have suffered at this persons hands, who knows, but you’d be horrified surely if the end result was actually accidental.
50:13 Sarah’s being incarcerated has ZERO to do with her lack of emotion. She didn’t shed a single tear for him THAT VERY DAY. She was more concerned with her Dr Pepper than her dead fiancé.
When the police were in her home and she was outside after his death, she acted very blasé. Like nothing going on had anything to do with her. Her ex was there and a police officer.
Nope. No tears for Jorge but she was nearly in tears when she said she needed her dr pepper because she was so thirsty. Crying for Dr pepper which was probably spiked. Oxygen thief
I agree no remorse about anything at all.
Exactly. She doesn’t show emotion as she has none. She’s a sociopath who’s unable to even fake empathy.
Oohhh!! Is THAT how she got him into the suitcase? I've been wondering about that 😜 all along.
The 11 minutes btwn the videos is where she says he threatened her. BS! She doesn't remember taking the videos but remembers that he threatened her? I hope the jury sees that discrepancy.
She said she had been documenting all the abuse??? Why not record when he was threatening her while in the suitcase
@@ameliaestrada8023 Yes, exactly. It would've been the best time to see his abuse. Except we seen him pleading for his life. Not yelling at her, threatening her, etc. Hope she gets everything she deserves
Just say your sorry, speak the truth, and take the plea deal and move on. But noooooooo let me take it to trial so I can prove I murdered him 😮
I’m sorry, even with those photos, she was not in ANY danger that night. She instigated everything that happened that night, and he was pleading for his life. Make no mistake, yes she was abused but she was also abusive. They were both toxic to each other.
She said she went upstairs and was waiting for him upstairs and thought they’d have sex until they showed her the videos
She did not have one single injury to her body. All of the injuries were on his body.
Amber Heard 2.0. I was waiting for her dog to step in a bee and she was SO scared. She was always scared. Liar!!! She was the aggressor and couldn't believe that Jorge hit her back. I doubt Brian ever did.
Know what someone who fears for their life DOESNT do? Turn their back on the threat and go to sleep. She’s full of shit.
Abuse victims don't sleep... no. She said several times that she'd just go to sleep. No way in hell Abusers can go to sleep right after a fight, but not the victims
Absolutely. I mean these two really messed up each other. Yet? She never was in fear that once freed he would want to punish her as she punished him? That doesn't make any sense unless she was the main agressor. She even thought after everything she said he would be in a loving mood.
Except that she was so drunk she passed out.
@@dsoule4902 THIS!!!!
She passed out. There's a difference
I am a recovering alcoholic (sobor 19 years) when in my addiction I often had lots of bruises and cuts, even a black eye, and NO BODY was abusing me. All we got was HER explanation of the photos and she is a liar.
Then why did Jorge’s own brother beat his ass? His family knew he was abusing her.
I completely agree. She is a narcissist who starts fights and hurts herself claiming to be the victim. We know her type sadly.
I believe they were abusing each other.
@@AlexAndra-iy5zuYes, I agree. It's amazing how some people are engaging in the same type of dysfunctional thinking that we ridicule Sarah for having.
Just because someone is prone to distorting the truth does not mean the majority of what they say is not true.
Even the greatest liar in the world says more true things than not if we consider ALL their statements.
@@AlexAndra-iy5zuDisclaimer: I'm making assumptions....
Jorge came from a family that normalized violence. Evidence? We know of 3 Torres brothers that have committed at least 1 heinous act against a person.
Sarah wasn't playing Hide & Seek, she was playing Whack A Mole.
And "suitcase pinata".
It's funny.
The prosecution should say this in closing lol
You win!
😨
She didn't flinch. The man she "loves" died in that case and she didn't hesitate. She also offered to show how she swung the bat. That felt cold to me.
Yes! That was such a chilling moment. She has zero self awareness and makes the most awkward random statements ever!
The way she approached the suitcase, like she was proud of herself. I'm glad the psychiatrist said she is narcissistic. Even though she walked it back and said she had PTSD. Right! Sure Sarah.
I can only hope my comment is seen. I've been thru almost everything sb has been thru. The PERFECT time to go to the police was WHILE HE WAS IN THAT SUITCASE🤬 She effed up n forgot him after she beat him to a pulp. No more empathy from an actual survivor. 💜 Thank you Peter💜
From my interpretation of the suitcase demonstration, I thought it showed how hard it is to open from the outside, therefore imagine how much HARDER it must’ve been from the INSIDE to open it! Proving that Jorge had no way of getting out even with a couple fingers free.
Also, her snark asking if they want her to demonstrate, how can you offer a demonstration of your partner dying? A supposed traumatic event?? No remorse, maybe even excitement.
And she said it wasn’t as hard to zip then also!
And the passive aggressive snapping on of the gloves from owens only proves to backfire as he became person number 3 who couldn't open it 😂
And that she said his fingers were sticking out and now his whole hand was now coming out!!
I also wonder if the state wanted to show the actual size of the suitcase, sort of give the jury a visual just after the def kept alluding to how big the suitcase was. One thing that bugged me as well was, def kept saying it was a big case, but then SB carried on saying how they were laughing that he could actually fit in it.
@@danidan9917 🤣
i don’t get how anyone could be impressed by her testimony
I wouldn't say impressed, but it did show me how mutually abusive their relationship was. It wasn't just her. With that being said, that didn't have much bearing so far on how I view what happened to Jorge. She obviously wasn't fearing for her life. The whole battered wife syndrome just isn't a good defense. She should have left it an accident and taken the deal. I do feel like that's more fitting of the situation.
@@justthatgirl-ct4jo I personally thought that was the case before the trial.
But yeah, prior abuse al9ne doesn't give permit to kill.
They need to prove more then her being in a toxic relationship.
I think if you never saw her before, and she was all meek and soft spoken on the stand, you might think she was a victim. Of course, we all have seen how cruel and callous she has been since day 1
Did she want to keep their abusive relationship? She helped keep it going, never called the police on Jorge, letting her son grow up in such a home.
@@jeanreed1975 "never called the police on Jorge" what? Have you been paying attention? She threatened to get him arrested on multiple occasions and followed through numerous times- she was even arrested herself. She shouldn't get away with murder, but let's not spread a false narrative here.
Crazy how she didn't record any threats from him trapped in the suitcase!! All lies today!!
Indeed! None at all!
And apparently she poked him with the bat. No she beat him with that bat. He had deep tissue bruising.
I was disappointed that the prosecution did not ask her where the picture was of her chuck of hair that was left on the staircase after dragging her down
She did not know she took videos but she remembers minute details about suitcase conversations? Complete BS!
Yes! Why didn’t the prosecutor make any mention of how she conveniently didn’t record any of his threats
My late uncle was an alcoholic and he would pass out outside by the pool on concrete, he’d fall into his closet. I’d come in the morning to check on my grandma and he’d have all kinds of wounds and my 90 year old grandma WAS NOT INFLICTING THEM…
What point are you making?
@@7beers I think it was just an unrelated story.
Justice for Grandma!
@@7beers I believe she's saying that not all of Sarah's injuries may be from Jorge but from her clumsy drunkenness. Both can be true.
@@7beersalcohol can make you bruise incredibly easily
I agree. Most alcoholics bruise super easy. I bet Jorge didn't even do half of what she accused him of. To me, the arrest video of Jorge when she pretended to him she would do what she could, but she had called the cops on him. She came running out, all giddy l, when the cops arrived. And she even tried to hug one cop, who vehemently declined the offer.
I used to be in active alcoholism. Gratefully I have been sober for 5 1/2 years. I also suffered untreated borderline personality disorder. I fell literally on my face twice while drunk, leaving 2 scars on my face that I have until this day. I took a butcher knife to my own calf while drunk and cut all the way into the muscle and had a bunch of stitches and have a nasty scar from it. I also fell and busted my scalp open which resulted in stitches. These were all gnarly injuries, just like her photos, and SELF INFLICTED. I’m just saying, don’t believe everything from what you see on the surface. No one ever laid a hand on me, but I did plenty of damage to myself.
Exactly. Thank for sharing your personal experience. I also don’t buy her narrative either the picture of Jorge hiring the tv. If he was pointing it at her in a way that would make her fearful, she wouldn’t be taking pictures. Plus, when my aTv broke, I let my son destroy it with a bat and it was funny for him. I still have that video and pictures. So I don’t believe a word she is saying.
My story is similar to yours…..chipped my tooth on the bathroom sink, fell down the stairs so many times leaving bruises everywhere
I find it too convenient there's no video of him in the suitcase threatening her. She would have definitely recorded that. So she stopped the recording when he started? Girl please.
Exactly! And the phone extraction report shows the camera app wasn't even closed between those two videos. Literally, the touch of a button to record the key moments.
she wanted a record of the start and the (his) end. She must have even thrown her sandal at the suitcase, almost to test if he would answer.
And she didn’t even remember taking the video so how does she remember him threatening her?
@@luminessa_von_Bexactly he had no idea when she was video recording. So he wouldn’t have known when to say threats or not. She is lying about the whole thing. She was watching him die.
Exactly!
Sarah of many words can't put feelings into words because she has no feeling
Exactly. It's eerie, but if she's being truthful, she had shut down her emotions long ago. Brian's testimony was flippant and unconcerned for Sarah. How come he didn't seek police whenever Jorge attacked her? He had plenty of reasons to legally apply to pull his son out of shared custody at Sarah's home
Because she couldn’t admit she was happy and drunk he was restrained
How does she know she wanted to show the video to George the next day and why she made the video when she doesn’t remember recording it?
Bingo! And how does she remember that Jorge threatened to kill her if she blacked out? Clearly, she has no memory of taking those videos because if she had remembered, she would’ve deleted them prior to calling the authorities. So that tells me that her story about Jorge threatening her from within the suitcase, which basically is the crux of their entire case is complete and utter bull crap.
The prosecutor rushed the cross, didn’t ask follow up questions, didn’t corner her into admitting she wasn’t in fear and that she mocked and laughed at him, acted out of revenge not fear, didn’t bring up her interrogation answers, and missed a lot of opportunities. Id give it a D.
I'm so mad and disappointed in the state. They've had so long to prepare for this, her stories are nonsense and full of lies, including damning video evidence - yet they're letting this slip through their fingers, and not fighting for justice for Jorge and his family. They really, really need to step up their game now, even though they had all the best cards, and she's a manipulative, controlling, aggressive liar.
It's the equivalent of making it to a championship fight, and somehow knocking yourself out right after they ring the bell. There's no way Boone can win, unless the state just totally blows it.

Regarding the suitcase, I think it proved how hard the zipper was to unzip and where he was positioned with his head and hands, how hard it would be for him to unzip.
Even "IF" there was that opening he had no room to move around in there.
@@iamtravellynne i think it was to point to that fully visible area on the second video. No zipper pulls, no gap.
Personally, I don't think he thought about zipping it up. I think he just got in the suitcase and was just going to put the top part over to where he was covered . That is if they were playing hide and seek. And I'm not convinced that this was not premeditated. I think she planned this. I think she got him drunk and then somehow convinced him to get in the suitcase to see if he fit. Maybe she tried first, but he let her out, and then when he went in, she zipped up and wouldn't let him out.
Or stick his hand out the way she said
How can the jury buy ANYTHING she is saying on the stand after seeing the interrogation and the videos? She can't keep her story straight. She contradicts herself every time she realizes a statement or an answer makes her look bad. If she doesn't remember taking the videos, how can she remember what was going through her head at the time? How could she be both afraid he would kill her if he got out and also sure he was fine and would be able to get out without her help? I'm disappointed in the prosecution for not going harder on all of the contradictions.
I totally agree.
I hope the jury sees through her BS! I am disappointed as well.
I mean there are people in chat and the comments that have seen and heard everything and yet are gullible enough to believe her.
First it was his little fingers out of the suitcase now its a hand, another contradiction
Am I the only one who did NOT think she did well on the stand?? Like Peter, I was appalled by the lack of even an attempt at generating emotion. Her callousness on the stand immediately made me feel like this was the same callousness she had when zipping up Jorge. Several aspects of the narrative didnt make sense: she talked about how great and fun of an evening they’d had, so her acts weren’t premeditated, but now is saying she kept suggesting new activities to bring up the mood. Which was it? How does she explain the neighbors hearing something tumble down the stairs? She felt brave enough to tell off Jorge while he was in the suitcase because she knew he was trapped there, but then went to sleep because she knew he could get himself out?
I would think that if she was truly afraid for her life, or even sad or sorry at all, she would not have wanted to touch the suitcase. Especially when the prosecutor offered to handle it for her. Her body language was very open to recalling such a traumatic experience. She even offered to demonstrate how she used the bat! 🤯
I didn't like her on the stand but i dont believe 98% of what she says and as we all know...juries can be gullible or blind so who knows.
She was exactly like she was in the interrogation...spinning a story that she thinks will get her home. She doesn't care about the truth...she cares about winning. She lies as easily as she breaths
I think she was damned if she did, damned if she didn’t. She was “factual”.
I just commented this same exact thing on another channel. She showed zero emotion. She seems like a psychopath, when asked if she has children and their names she says her sons name so casually. Also, when speaking about Jorge and her dogs, ZERO emotion again.
I’m listening live each day with EDB, then listening/watching Peters thoughts/comments in the evening. The way EDB lost her mind when the prosecutor had Sarah step down into the well was everything.
For someone who can't remember she made a couple videos. She has excellent recall for the 9-minute gap. She's had 3 years to refine that story into something believable. Both are guilty of DV but she wasn't in fear for her life, or she would've fled or dialed 911. Did the prosecution think O.J. was convicted? What about the interrogation video? C'mon!!! Why is she playing with the zipper? Did O.J. teach you nothing? Sheez I'm sorry, this was a terrible day for the state.
Boone's continually stating how she came up with activities to keep him happy really turned me off. I found her arrogant and condescending. She sounded like she was a child's therapist using play activities. It was obvious she was trying to allude to an abused spouse but a huge fail in my opinion.
same! it did her no favors and made her come across as extremely unlikeable. It was the part that stood out the most to me but was the hardest to explain why
I just found it strange the mother / child relationship . She had the car ,she had the credit card….he does not sound like he had life together
That`s how she`s been since day one. Always condescending talking down. The day after she murdered him she said she`s the best thing that ever happened to him. She talks about how he used her money, HER money? More like Brians money. That women hadn`t worked in years
Yeah, "maintaining" him. she's the boss, she's in control.
I think she thought she was better than him and he a project to fix rather than dealing with her own alcoholism
I think as a juror I would see how hard it was for her to zip it and how could she expect him to get out?! He let her zip him in & they laughed. He didn’t know she wasn’t going to let him out.
Also, her saying she could demonstrate it made me feel icky. The person you “loved” passed away in it. No emotions at all!
Those r the exact 2 things I also felt. He couldn’t get out and she coldly wants to show how she beat him. I’d have no mercy for her.
She said on cross that she probably wouldn't let him out even if she was sober
Exactly, I’m hoping the jury has really paid attention to all of the different stories. I think she’s guilty!
@@beverlyhunter4182I agreed with Sarah about that. I think she was determined to get rid of him.
When she offered to get the bat and show how she used it I was amazed! She had no emotion or reticence whatsoever.
All I can hear is Jorge saying "Sarah I cant breathe!" No matter what her claims are. She trapped him and left him to die. Those cries were earth shattering.
Me too. Everything she said on the stand just sounded disingenuous and not credible. She was hamming it up and that made me doubt her credibility. Plus if someone was truly abused, they wouldn’t be able to talk about it in a matter of fact way.
Yes, and...after begging to get out, she beat him!!!!
Yeah. He went ballistic after he couldn't breathe. Right.
I thought she weighed 130/140 at jail intake.....
@@yawninggreyhound i would have loved if that had pointed that out. She was miffed with her lawyer pointing out her weight gain. LOL
It was fascinating to see zero emotion from her handling the very suitcase that JT died in.
Very telling. Who could do that?? Guilty AF.
Anyone else notice that when Jorge allegedly told her to make up a lie for hospital after he stabbed her, she immediately went to a 'playing a game' scenario, that time they were 'playing swordfighting with their steak knives and slipped' stabbing her leg. Swordfighting, Hide & Seek ... hmmm
Yes, I thought the same thing! It's a tell for sure. Her lies/stories are fantasy!
Ahh! Good catch. Makes ya go, hmmm?
Exactly!
And that sounds even dumber than hide and seek. Who does that?
Owens lead her all over the place and no one stopped him.
The jury can see and hear the testimony from SB.
The scriptwriters typed out the narrative then inserted Owen's questions that kept it closing
Because he was digging his own grave. State let him and realised the more she spoke the more she Fd up
Yes he did!!
Exactly! I never heard the prosecutor say objection facts not in evidence!!!!
I certainly can’t sleep if I am terrified!
Exactly. I’d be afraid that if I fell asleep & he got out that it would be the end of me.
Right I can't even sleep if I'm worried
I think she passed out!
@@kimbykimbers3750 wonder if you can pass out if you are terrified?!
@@cclmontoya good point….🙏🏻
She was never in danger as she could have used her cell phone at any time and left the house while she awaited help if she actually feared for her life.
@@rosemaryraupp4370 absolute great point. The prosecutor should say that exact thing in rebuttal!!!
Agreed
She did use her phone after. She called her ex. But she didn't leave and he doesn't remember something alarming like "I put Jorge in a suitcase, he's gonna kill me" Brian didn't remember what she was nattering about but surely that would have pierced a sleep fog..
Easy to say if you've never lived like that. Trying to leave is the most dangerous time for the target of abuse. The law often does not help. That line from that song, "he walked right through that restraining order and put her in intensive care", is very true in st many cases. Except it's the morgue for many.
@Angi_Mathochist What does that have to do with this case? Anyone can see that in those cell phone videos, she was taunting Jorge cause she could. She's a killer.
If her situation was as volatile as she says, I can't imagine any mother allowing her child to stay in that environment.
Right? So many victims stay because they fear the abuser using their financial/social power to get custody of the children. But, in her situation, she could have lost her partial custody of Lucas. Like, isn't just fighting in front of a kid considered child abuse? Plus the alcohol intoxication.
I (we) have been waiting YEARS for this
I was struck by her lack of emotion, she was just flat. But even more I noticed her smiles and smirks when there were side bars and was left sitting on the stand. I thought it was odd like she was getting away with something
I noticed the same thing -it was so strange the smiling smirk. I dont think she realized what her face was saying.
She's enjoying nearly every minute of this. This is why she didn't want to take the plea, she doesn't want to miss out on all the attention even if negative.
I noticed that too.
No emotion, nothing. Not even talkikg about her abuse, seeing her picturrs, or even talking about the abuse of her dogs.
It looked to me like she was giddy that she was getting her five mins on the stage. The same sort of smiling that a bride might do getting ready to walk down the aisle. She’s seriously sick
Very selective memory. Perfectly recalls everything on direct then can't remember anything on cross. Was simultaneously scared that he'd come to bed and also expected him to come to bed.
Exactly! Why didn't the state corner her on this?
I am surprised they didn’t call her out for saying in the 911 call that “she put her boyfriend in a suitcase” she didn’t say zipped, she said put
And then she pushed him down the staircase. I think she hit him with the bat first, thought she killed him and that's when she put him in the suitcase. Fits with the testimony of what the neighbors said.
That seems possible! Especially after hearing her explanation of what she came up with for the knife incident “playing sword fighting”.
Because with her self defense argument she essentially admitted she lied about most of what she told authorities, so if they would have mentioned that she would have just said she misspoke
It was four years ago that this detective dealt with SB. She has had tons of cases since. You can't blame her for not acting like it was yesterday for crying out loud.
Ppl who are falling for her victim act would never survive a narcissist
For real. It's surprising how many gullible people are out there.

We need to realize (even more) how special this channel, community, and Peter and the team are. This guy, who says he is not "emotional and sensitive," is more cognizant of psychology and humanity than channels looking at it from a mental health perspective.
I'm not saying this just because I'm a fellow Nole. 😊
It’s funny that you say you’re not sensitive, Peter, because I think you come across acutely tuned in to people - you probably see it as being unbiased and pragmatic but I think it takes a lot of sensitivity to view both sides of issues.
All three of them had to move the suitcase to zip it up.
He’s a Libra, and for libras it’s more about being attuned to fairness not so much emotions. Logic and reason.
I’ve been following this case since the start and this has been my go to channel for balanced, non-sensationalised commentary. Lots of respect to Owens and his team as well for taking the case under impossible circumstances.
*Right?!* that’s what I love most about this channel too! I’ve stopped watching some true crime channels bc of the one sided hatred they spew. They let it completely cloud their judgement instead of thinking sensibly and being fair to both parties without letting personal feelings get in the way of that.
@@onlytymewilltellI prefer the channels that agree with how i'm feeling
#TeamSarah
Do not believe for a second she was a dv victim of any kind. I am still hoping and praying she gets life! Justice for Jorge!
Her BLINK RATE is absolutely insanely high. That screams extreme nervousness even though she tries to appear calm on the outside. The many lip compressions also reveal that she is afraid of saying the wrong thing.
I was struck by her emotionless demeanour when the State brought out the actual suitcase followed by her demonstration with the zip. She had said earlier on the stand that she still loves him. I felt so uncomfortable seeing her with that suitcase and the visual of him inside.
Thank you for this Peter🙏😊
Does the prosecution want her to get away with this obvious murder? They are not doing a good job.
My thoughts exactly
Perhaps Soros ppl paid state & judge a visit last night
Someone has been coach Sarah for 4 years. Someone is paying the documented corrupt Owens /henderson

She had the A team and didn't get along with them. Now she has the remnant. Her own fault. I bet the previous attorneys wouldn't risk their career to play along with her lies. This one doesn't seem to mind.
Alcoholics also bruise super easily, and are more prone to injuries, so I think some of the bruising could also be explained that way when it comes to Sarah Bloom’s injuries from previous instances of violence. I’m not saying that she never was abused, I’m just saying that, it’s hard to say every single bruise she had was necessarily from Jorge
Alcoholics bruise easily. They also stumble around and fall. They also bleed more than people who don’t drink. Alcohol is a blood thinner.
I felt the opposite. After Sarah’s testimony I thought she was way worse than I first thought and what she was saying was unbelievable. You can hear how he wasn’t able to speak because of lack of air then there was 11 mins before the next short recording which is the same as the first him breathlessly calling Sarah’s name. Hard to believe during the 11 mins he somehow argues. And Sarah is so terrified that she falls asleep for hours and hours. Pleeese. Sarah the punisher. I don’t know if she was sober enough to think logically if Jorge will die but she chose the action to leave him in there and beat him and as a consequence he died and that is because of her actions not his.
I can’t understand all the leading questions of the defense. Prosecution didn’t even object.
That drove me nuts listening today. The only reason I can think of is they're just letting her dig her hole deeper and ruin her credibility further.
That’s what I thought too. Leading Q one after the other….50 of them. State doesn’t object because it’s not necessary? It saves time to not object? If objecting the jury gets a bad taste in their mouth from the state? What’s the strategy?
I would have objected a la Vasquez style!!
I know. I'm really disappointed in the prosecution
No way was she that logical in her thinking while intoxicated.
This is the third or fourth iteration of these "facts" and she STILL can't muster up a tear for the man she claims to have had a "two bodies - one soul" relationship with. I too am calling BS!
“That never happened” I screamed when she said that … so good
Context, Jorge is stuck in the suitcase.
Sarah - "Please stop doing this to me! Please stop doing this to me!"
Doing what? Asking you to let him out? Even if it was funny at first, she admitted that she started antagonizing him first. That's when he started to get angry, wanting to get out of the suitcase. Yet, she's trying to say that she's the victim because he was angry that she wasn't letting him out. Wow. Ok. I think Jorge had the right to start getting angry when she's antagonizing him. This is not a battered spouse situation. This was a power situation, where she had power over him and wanted to teach him a lesson. She said multiple times that "she was gonna give him 5 minutes" to think about they way he treats her, sometimes. It may not have been an intentional act. But she definitely had a flagrant disregard for whether or not he lived or died. I bet she wanted him to die, based on what she said in those texts. The part about "I'll get rid of him."
Boone made up the phone call about her saying, "Can you get your phone tomorrow because im pregnant and not feeling good. Her lawyer used that when they were trying to get the interrogation thrown own. Judge said her timeline of the phone call didnt make sense with how long she said she was at the scene, and even if it did, she wouldn't have written down "when do i get my phone back?" In her list of questions if she thought she was going there to get it back at that moment.
Awe, i love how this judge does his homework!
I just wish the jury could know about some of the inconsistencies. 😅
Honestly just feels the same to me. They were both abusers to each other and I still think that under the influence she decided to get revenge and passed out and didn't intend for him to die. I dont think she thought of suffocation. I dont think she thought very far ahead. I see her as a pretty pathetic person who should of took that deal. She doesn't deserve anything less in my eyes. That's just my opinion.
I agree. The pictures didn’t change my opinion whatsoever. She got drunk, got mad, wanted revenge, and killed him by not realizing the consequences. BSS still doesn’t apply to what happened that night and she needs to be punished for it
I agree.
Agree here too. I don't think she thought he'd die. Realized she was screwed when she found him dead. Manslaughter.
@@icaba1277
Murder 2. No manslaughter… She beat him with a bat, cursed him , and left him to die. Depraved indifference
Why would she feel safe enough to show him the video the next day, if she was so scared? She planned on showing him?
Don't try to make sense of it. That's a level 4 lie fed to her by her lawyer. There's ZERO reality in it.
I am thinking she wanted to show him how he was acting that night when he had sobered up the next day?
In my experience, battered spouses wouldn't have this much evidence of any abuse in a phone he has access to. The phone would have been destroyed by the perpetrator.
drunk vs sober
When they asked her how she met George
“Wellll when I was trying to spend some time away from the marital home..blah blah blah…”
AT A BAR- YOU MET AT A BAR!!!!!!
I'm just glad that her son doesn't have to live with her anymore
She's totally unbelievable. The audio tells a completely different story. She doesn't sound scared in the audio.
The suitcase demo: So LYK said his mind goes to Jorge being in on the game because it took her so long to zip up. My mind goes elsewhere. He was probably incapacitated. Sarah PUT him in the suitcase, she took however long to zip it up, and then she threw the suitcase down the stairs. All of that is consistent with his injuries and the neighbours testimony. As a juror that's exactly what I would be thinking. Especially given how she speaks whilst on the stand with zero remorse, zero care, zero interest in anything but herself.
Sarah did not put him in the suitcase, how would that be possible? He got into the suitcase on his own. If he was not wanting it zipped up with that suitcase there is no way that he could not prevent her from zipping it up
@@christines2451 He weighs 100 pounds (45kg) soaking wet. she could roll him into it, or whilst he is incapacitated/groggy from her beating him, she can manouver him into the case under his own steam. There's dozens of different ways that it would be reasonable for her to put him in the case. I'm not saying LYK's viewpoint isn't reasonable, it totally is, but it's not where my mind went based purely on what's happening in court.
@@christines2451 You're ignoring that he was not only drunk, but had head injuries. Blunt force trauma from the bat she admits she used on him. We only have her word that she didn't whack him with the bat and knock him senseless before putting him in the suitcase. Also despite her lies on the stand, her jail booking info, the day she was arrested, shows she was 40lbs heavier than Jorge at the time.
@@christines2451 According to the neighbours there was fighting and screaming and something crashed down the stairs that made the walls shake. Either the neighbours lie or Sarah Boone.
DV is unforgivable, but she should not have left him inside the suitcase for almost 14 hours. This trial is not about DV, it is about the death of her boyfriend.
Excellent point
not to mention she is guilty of it as well
The judge just allowed it to be about dv:self defense
It will be devastating if she is acquitted of this crime because jurors feel sympathy for her prior abusive episodes. I've been in that situation and you need to take responsibility for yourself and end the relationship - not someone's life.
@@luminessa_von_B especially since she has done the same to jorge AND her exhusband. her exhusband legit said he wouldn’t be surprised if she was the one that was initiating the fights. even the cops were brushing off her attacks against him just because he could handle her physically for the most part
Sarah's testimony was ridiculous. If she was so terrified, why not call the cops when she had him trapped? She went upstairs and to bed. If she thought he could get out and was terrified, he would hurt her. Why did she go upstairs to bed? Doesn't sound like a bruised and battered woman. No, she was trying to punish him for cheating on her. I don't believe she meant to kill him, but her actions lead to his death.
women are terrified tonight in millions of homes and woll not call the cops in 90 % of the occasions
I have to say i was extremely impressed with the prosecution pre-trial, but so far in the actual trial they are leaving me wanting. There were so many things they could have exposed in their cross of Sarah that they just didn't.
Also, at no point in their case did they mention that Sarah said in the 911 call that "[she] put [her] boyfriend in a suitcase"...not "zipped" or "my boyfriend GOT into a suitcase", but "[she] PUT" him in a suitcase. This feels like a pretty big thing to point out.
Great coverage. I am watching the trial with EBD, and still appreciate your recaps. Really love your channel, Peter. You are so positive and balanced. You uphold the law. I admire you - lawyer to lawyer.
Have been a survivor of Dv but when I finally got out and had to testify i was a mess and I still am a mess 20 years later when I talk about it
Been almost 40 yrs for me. I can talk about it but prefer not to. Unless to help someone understand how it is & affects people.
Not defending Sarah but it’s important to remember people have different coping skills (some people really emotionally distance themselves from trauma). Making the statement that survivors look a certain way is really damaging to the cause of supporting people in these situations.
@@Ennuisprinklesi don’t buy she was abused. At best it was mutual and she was the instigator. She was a drunk and drunks notoriously fall all over the place and hurt themselves. Jorge is not here to speak for himself.
Very true. Same for me
@@TheOneAtomicPunkshe’s not a victim she’s an abuser and murdered him
Did everyone forget we have a dead guy here!! He was begging her to save him. She shows no remorse and was laughing.
I know...she's disgusting and imo SHES the aggressor
Well, it is just a guy, the disposable class of society.
Why did the prosecution not object!?!?! Why did they let him lead her? What is the strategy behind that!?!? I am so frustrated by this, there HAS to be a strategy🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Sarah is so lucky I’m not on the jury. I don’t believe a word that comes out of her mouth. Ever.
The prosecution cross was so weak. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
I don’t comment much or participate in a lot of the live chats because I get overwhelmed by so many comments flying by. Anyways, my point is this really a great channel and I always appreciate your level headed approach on cases. I thought I had my mind made up about Sarah Boone which I don’t do normally before the end of trial, but my head is all over the place with this case.
A little bit disappointed in the cross examination. 4 years of delays, lawyers and letters and this is what they had? I admit though it ended really well.
prosecuting Is so weak !! They need to wake up !!! This should have been an easy case …. They are not on their game.
I think Jay knew if he kept it simple as a jury member, I certainly would have seen that as a confident power move. He knows he's got her! He wants the jury to see he doesn't need to sink her she sunk herself
Peter, I didn’t catch you live. But when the state had Sarah B zip up the suitcase, it showed me that Jorge COULD NOT HAVE opened it by himself. took three people to close it. She knew it was difficult and left him to die. He needed help getting out.
Speculation: Sarah’s version of hide and seek, from up in the bedroom. “Hey George I’ll bet you $20 you can’t completely fit yourself into the Suitcase at the bottom of the bed. George: you’re on! Sahara: wait you’re not totally in until I can get it fully zipped. 2 minutes later the neighbors hear what sounds like something (a suitcase filled with George bouncing down the stairs). 2 minutes after that Sarah gets another glass of wine, retires to the couch and makes some home videos to commemorate the event. 🤔
This has been the Sarah Boone show since the beginning, she has never shown any remorse not even on the stand.
This is why I really want to know if this particular judge usually shares his thoughts at sentencing
Missed you Live! I’m watchin’ now! 📺 Re-watch crew tonight!
PS. Thank you, Peter, for your great insight, passion, enthusiasm, for being fair & just, for teaching me SO much, & for ALL you do for us… your short & long-time (me!) followers! You ROCK, Peter!!!🔥
As a survivor myself. My sympathy did not change.
Same.
Peter I so appreciate your approach to the analysis some shows that I used to love are turning into lynch mobs and honestly its very disheartening
Peter, you MISSED the best part of cross! Mr Jay showed a picture of the suitcase, that she had taken on her phone at 11:03pm! Which means he was in the suitcase for at least nine minutes before she started filming at 11:12, begging for his life! When the hell did he stick out his hand & try to attack her??? He was already near death!
Listen to her testimony with edb while working but couldn't wait to hear peter take on today
I did the same!
Me too. I was getting a bit scared towards the end. Until Jay said so you zipped him in and never let him out. I hope that’s a powerful statement
I hope they’ll show that during the 2nd video, you can hear her snickering quietly to herself as he calls out to her for help.
I have two theories on how he got into that suitcase, but neither of them involve playing “hide and seek”. I think either:
1. She hit him with the bat during an argument and knocked him out. She panicked and stuffed him in the suitcase. When he woke up, she got giggly because she was relieved she didn’t have to hide a body and then started taunting him because she was still mad. She then just decided that she wanted him dead, and figured Brian would help her cover it up. Brian then foiled the plan the next morning.
2. He passed out from drinking too much. She thought they were going to have $ex (as she mentioned) and since she was also drunk, she got mad. To play a trick on him, she put him in the suitcase, and when he came to, she just started berating him (queue the video). She left him in there out of being smug and self righteous about her amazing prank and that he deserved to have to fight his way out.
I’m leaning toward #2. I just can’t believe they would have been thinking it’s funny long enough to get that suitcase zipped up based on the time it took to get it zipped in court. I also can’t believe that two adults would play hide and seek in their own home.
I think she was abused. I also think Jorge was abused. I think they were a powder keg. One of them was probably always going to kill the other, it just depended on who got there first.
Love how fair and instructional you are. Even in difficult cases
Hey Peter, I thought Sarah’s testimony on direct was very well rehearsed, in my opinion. Watch everyday love your work. Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Also during one of her first confessions to the police, she said she only left enough room for two fingers to stick out. Now she's saying a whole hand was out. If his hand was out he could get out, and he would also have air to breathe
Ofcourse shes lying...
To add to the Super Chat at 1:32:36... We literally just went to Cabo for my brother's wedding. Our carry-on bags that we use all the time, the zippers were easy-peasy, as always. Our bigger bag that we check, hardly use and has been in storage for years, the zipper was much harder to use. The suitcase they are show casing now has been sitting around for at least four years.
There's that ....
I think it had nothing to do with the difficulty with opening and closing the suitcase. She indicated an area on full display in the second video. No zip visible. She made up the opening later
regardless of how abusive jorge was, no one deserves such a death. if she was genuinely under threat that day, this all would have ended very differently.
Strange that the defence didn't ask more about her education and career, after she told the world how smart she is!
I love the idea of the two of you reviewing the OJ case. I appreciate hearing your feedback on both sides of this case.
Well I don't see how she cam claim to have been "terrified" as Jorge was angry and threatening to "end her" because that certainly didn't come across in the videos she made.
And why did she go to bed expecting him to come and join her if she was so in fear for her life, or "disfigurement".
I agree her injuries from PAST incidents were very graphic, but sadly Jorge can't explain any incidents in which he was the victim. I'm also fairly sure from what I've seen and heard that Jorge was certainly a victim of controlling and emotionally abusive behaviour. A classic codependent relationship. But again, sadly, we cant hear his side of this. RIP Jorge.
I agree
You nailed it!
My thoughts exactly!
for some of the injuries there are gladly explanations.
When she called the cops on him because he "kicked her in the face for no reasons" she ended up getting arrested as well. Because the strangulation marks on his neck told another story.
So did he.
And while her "story" was never complete because she could never remember the moments when she attacked HIM.. HIS story was solid from start to end.
Also her ex husband told how easy she gets aggressive while Jorge never had anything to do with DV before he met Sarah.
I am more than sure that her injuries are not from DV but from Jorge defending himself.
I so hope she doesn't fool the jury.
Thank you, good point. She would’ve left out called Brian if she were so scared.
Blessings & Grace for You Peter! You always show Grace to others!!! ❤
To those of you who may be believing her....keep in mind alcoholics bruise and hurt themselves all the time. Their blood is thinner and they are clumsy.
I had a friend who SB reminds me of SO MUCH. when she would get drunk she would attack/jump on/throw things and hit her boyfriend. While attacking him she gave herself bruises, scars, marks and even broke a finger once. I witnessed it all the times because i was staying with them for a while. The next day she would be crying to me, blaming him for her injuries. If i hadnt witnessed it i would have believed her.
She lived covered in bruises and marks, she always had injuries alot of which came from her falling and running into things when she was drunk.
She also always had drama going on, was never happy, it was always everyone elses fault and in her mind she was the victim, she tried when others wouldnt and she was a WONDERFUL mom (she absolutely wasnt)
Like i said...when i see SB she acts just like my ex friend.
Dont be gullible. SB is SO problematic and was abusive long before Jorge....
A lot of people are victims these days, unfortunately with or without alcohol -
We just have to hope the jury can see through this BS
It boggles my mind why the prosecution, when questioning Boone, didn't simply ask why when you were in fear of your life in this heightened state of fight or flight to the extent you picked up a baseball bat to hit Jorge to keep him in the suitcase did you then go upstairs to sleep
Replay crew! Thanks for your insight as always Peter!
She already admitted to being a liar. It's probably the only truthful words that she ever said.
States REBUTTAL IS COMING!
Yep. After the expert.
@@srikothur2845that’s what I’m thinking.
It don't really matter
I really think she didn't remember the video until the cops brought it to her attention. She definitely remembered then
Agree. She had too much confidence giving her phone to the police. She should have been honest from the start, she was hammered that night. Always exercise your rights, get an attorney.
This was in Florida, and my experience living in humidity is things like zippers rust very quickly. So I believe Sarah that it wasn't as hard in the courtroom as it was the day she zipped him closed. I don't know if that helps or hinders her, but it was a thought I had that wasn't mentioned
it is also going to be easier to zip with something heavy to hold it down, like Jeorge. Also it had a paper clip as a pull then and it doesn't seem too now. Where would that paper clip have gone? Isn't the pink paperclip part of the evidence, part of the suitcase?
What no one has explained yet is….if George was crazy mad and going to hurt her if he gets out…and she has left him room to escape…how does she calmly go upstairs and fall asleep? If you know he can get out, you would leave…be behind a locked door…be shaking in your shoes…but not sleeping!!
The bat picture of Jorge could have been another of the fun games that they played - maybe the TV was already broken and they agreed to smash it when they were drunk. No way to know since Jorge is dead.
I thought the exact same thing! Would be nice to know if it was working at the time.
That picture of jorge looks staged
The picture is a still image captured from a video she took of him smashing the tv
