I don’t think Ms. Boone would have even “tried” to get along with this lawyer if the judge hadn’t made her represent herself. It was a reality check to a degree. Just how much she did or didn’t learn remains to be seen.
I don’t agree with that. She probably felt like she had some control because he was her choice. Often victims of abuse have control issues. I know Sara Boone isn’t a sympathetic victim. But I think she probably is a victim.
@@JCM-ry6deFair, but the facts are she had no marks on her, she went upstairs to sleep after recording him begging to be let out, showed no outward remorse or relief, and lied about her alcohol consumption that night. Yes she was a victim…but this was not self defense in the legal sense, she killed him/enabled his death and deserves 2nd degree murder. It is gross to include the actions of the actual victim’s brother as a basis of her actions, it indirectly infers she killed him because of a perceived fear he would kill her, that is victim blaming.
Absolutely. I agree 100%. That's probably why she was so difficult as she doesn't want to be held accountable. They've probably advised her to admit to this so they can pursue x defence. She wont admit to it. Then has a hissy fit.
@@skygodess87. I think he has compassion for those who are incompetent and are still entitled to representation (hopefully) by a competent attorney. I respect this man.
So I see this lawyer as someone who is doing the work without the expectation of being paid but also wants his clients to assume some responsibility, agency and be invested in the working relationship, so he arranges his fees to encourage that. Personally I think it’s a good way to approach it. I’m glad she has legal representation.
Why didn't she give him the judges past orders? I believe she threw all of the discovery away. The judge had to go over everything again. The judge will make her pay for her obstruction of justice.
I agree, although I understand why most lawyers don’t handle it this way. It sounds like this lawyer has helped other people who couldn’t pay, which is admirable.
Peter, I don’t know if you will read this. But, if you do, there are nearly 500k people who appreciate your commentary, are fine with your volume, and love this channel. I’m all for constructive criticism and being willing to grow, but I’m also in favor of knowing which criticism can and should be ignored. Change if you want to, but also know about a half a million people love this channel exactly the way it is. That’s a lot of people.
My respect for Sarah's lawyer dissipated based on that familial guilt argument at the press conference. That's the type of scummery that people think of when they think of lawyers.
@@candichaney2873 but when you're being accused of murdering your boyfriend as well as having other accusations of being the perpetrator in domestic assault against him, if I were a lawyer I think I would avoid that LOL also it was more just some sarcasm
@@Itsjustme115because unlike you we are actually following this case. She told the judge her last lawyer lied. The judge pressed her in what that meant and it turns out no one lied. Sarah just didn’t get her way and slapped that label on her lawyer. You’re welcome.
Not true. He has a LONG list of battery against her. Abusive relationships aren't all aggressive all the time. Look up the cycle of violence. This clueless, you're probably in it.
I wonder if Owens knows about Sarah's brother who is in jail, has a long criminal history and how he's a gross violent pedophile. Look him up. John Tyler Paulson. If we're looking at family to judge a person's character then let's talk about Sarah's brother. Ick. This case makes me sick to my stomach.
@@UTubeQu1che551 Agreed. Its the best strategy he can do. I don't blame him for trying. If it was my client, I'd try to spin it as "Sarah grew up in a dysfunctional, abusive family so it explains why she would stay in a violent relationship and feel unable to leave". Defense gotta try their best with what they got.
Not a thing other than trying to taint a prospective jury pool. He knows this information cannot be introduced in her trial. He is just trying to put that information out in hopes people (possible jurors) will hear this information and conclude that Jorge was a violent person. It’s called desperation 😅
I have been waiting for this trial and am so frustrated 😤 I cannot imagine how Jorge Sarah Boones victim family feel. They must feel worse than any of us.
Yup and he said that as much. He said it won’t be allowed on the trial, and that’s why- it’s irrelevant. But I guarantee you that most people will hear that and start googling his brother and stop worry as much about Sarah, which is why her lawyer said this. He’s doing his job.
I think that Sarah Boone’s brothers behavior should be looked at to see what the family was like when the kids were little. What was going on there? When 2 out of 3 children have cluster B personality, and the other child is an over achiever with high security clearance in the military. The high security clearance means he is moral, smart and has a clean background. My daughter was a Korean linguistic in the Air Force and when she joined they investigated her back to her elementary school teachers 😮.
I understand why people are upset with his tactic. In terms of the everyday real world it's hugely unfair. I'm looking at it in terms of "law world" though. Owens has a job to do, defend SB however he can. Since her case is neither slim on evidence nor full of easy to obtain reasonable doubt, he thinks he has to do this narrative changing exercise. It's not his job to be fair and tell an equal sided story. That's cold blooded AF but that's how "law world" is.
That was slimy of that lawyer. I cannot believe that slander and victim-blaming is being framed as "changing the narrative" or fairness in any way. Disgusting.
Nevermind Sarah’s history of being an abuser and one of Sarah’s brother being a druggie and career criminal. My Owens needs to get to know her history.😊
And he even said it wasn't admissible, so he's just trying to get it into the media & potential jury pool. Ick And he's looking for a % of the book, movie, documentary, etc Royalties, imo - fair enough I guess
Yea, his last statement backfired with me. I really don’t like it when the victim who is dead and can’t defend themselves is blamed for being dead. The video evidence that she recorded herself is the most damning evidence. Her constant “It wasn’t intentional” during her interviews practically voids her “battered spouse” defense. And I already foresee her wanting to testify and she is going to sink herself even more when she does that.
I think it likely she’ll yell at the prosecutor if she gives evidence. Just as she did at Owen’s in jail when he “played prosecutor “ to show her what she is up against!!!
Yeah there's a reason he tried to get her to plea, like prob all her other lawyers tried to. There's also a reason he paused before saying if she should testify. He knows this is not a winning case.
"I really don’t like it when the victim who is dead and can’t defend themselves is blamed for being dead." I agree 100% with that sentence. He's up there talking about how unfair it is that Sarah was left helpless and the system abandoned her and that's why he want to be her advocate. Then he starts blaming the victim in such a heinous way, the victim who truly cannot defend himself, the victim that can't write letters complaining about everything, the victim that can't ask for help anymore. That just sits really wrong with me. If you're going to talk bad about the dead, you really should have solid evidence, you should do it in a measured way, and you definitely shouldn't be doing it on tv before the reason of their death has been figured out and concluded.
It literally sounds like he borderline begged her to let him take it. He also said himself he's "been watching alot of RUclips". If I know how bad this is - then he also knows 😂
I haven’t heard ANYONE comment or report on this case without remembering, mentioning and wanting justice first Jorge and his horrific death in a SUITCASE. At the same time a fair trial with a proper attorney will keep this from turning into more of a circus than Sarah has already made it. Sarah would make a mockery of Jorge’s death and it would be horrible for Jorge’s family to have to be questioned or crossed by the person responsible for his death.
Thank you so so much for covering the Boone case. I don't know why this case fascinates me, but every day at work I look forward to seeing if there has been something for you to cover with the Boone case. Also, thank you so much for breaking all of the legalese and laws down, it really helps me as a layperson understand what is going on.
How would you feel about a guilty verdict getting overturned on appeal if the appellate court found that her obnoxious conduct was *not* bad enough to constitute an involuntary waiver of her right to appointed counsel? To put it in context, other criminal defendants have physically assaulted their defense attorneys, sometimes even grabbing one of their attorney's pen and stabbing their attorney in the neck, yet those criminal defendants retained their right to counsel. I don't think the appellate court will agree that Sarah Boone involuntarily waived her right to appointed counsel by merely saying mean words about them, especially since she was never warned to stop doing that. I think Sarah Boone is 100% guilty of Second Degree Murder and I want her guilty verdicts to be upheld by the appellate courts.
@kathrynjavandel4357 I see where you're coming from, but I'm not sure your analogy is entirely applicable here. Physically assaulting your lawyer is one thing. But Sarah has objectively and demonstrably engaged in behavior that could very easily be construed as not allowing not one, not two, but 8 lawyers to represent her to the best of their ability. There are certain decisions that are absolutely left up to the client, but lawyers exist for a reason, after all. They're the experts and are there to use that expertise to provide the best defense they possibly can. Sarah, for lack of a better term, essentially "Karen'd" her way through all those attorneys by simply not allowing them to do their jobs. I could see it getting turned over on appeal if it were one, two, or maybe even 3 attorneys. But 8? That's a clear and identifiable pattern of behavior on the part of Miss Boone. I think the judge made the right call by forcing to her to represent herself. Specifically in so far as describing it as "exhausting" her right to "court appointed" counsel. She didn't lose the ability to retain counsel. She lost the ability to have FREE counsel provided to her by engaging in what could very easily be described as intentional and habitual behavior. Just my take. I'm not a lawyer, either. So I could be ridiculously off the mark here.
@@AxelordSMIJES Agree. Also, Sarah’s lawyers indicated “ethical” issues, and that tells me that if they went along with whatever she wanted, they could be disciplined or disbarred, thus pretty much ending their careers. The attorneys asked to withdraw and she agreed as per her letters and statements in court. The lawyer I recall who was stabbed with a pen or pencil didn’t ask to withdraw. Also, they were already in trial, not several months out which gave attorneys the opportunity to respond.
Re: defense attorneys taking on the case - he is an older lawyer who has had a lot of work under his belt and probably can afford to do some pro bono work.
He's not pro bono. He said she will owe him. I'm pretty sure her stans had a fund for a psychologist. They probably retained him with it. He said a third party reached out to him.
In essence he is pro bono. A “ I’ll catch up to you” is not a payment, not a true promise to pay. The chances of him being paid back are slim. So, currently, yes, pro bono would be closer to the truth
@@ideenfeewhat about them? They will get paid. Let me ask you this, why do you think he’s taking this case if he’s not going to see a dime? FREE PRESS. It will boost his presence and he can bump up his fees. Whatever the case though, he legally HAS to pay his employees. So he’s taking a hit in the pocketbook because he knows it will come back 100 fold in the future.
@@sisvssis2235which is probably why he's giving it low effort honestly. She wants to go the battered spouse route and as a lawyer he's obligated to take on a certain amount of probono work so he can check off a box while appeasing her. Dumb or not she's got a right to have someone who can properly represent her and this guy is going to do that knowing full well they're going to lose and he's not going to be paid.
This attorney knew what he was getting into. He knows that it will be an uphill battle. If he's battling with his conscience then more power to him. The video of the victim in the suitcase speaks volumes. And Sarah HAD ample enough opportunity to escape this "abusive" relationship way before the actual crime. I see another Casey Anthony case. Different players though. She is still guilty. I will never change my mind on that. She had the SAME opportunity that everyone else has in that situation to LEAVE the situation. No matter HOW hard it may be. She didn't. After witnessing her behavior, reading all her self centered letters? I hope she is convicted and goes to prison. For life. She COULD have removed herself and moved on with her life. But she made a choice. Period.
Peter I love when your personality peeks/shines through! You can tell you’re a good man. I’m here for it!! Its never crossed my mind for you to take Boones case. You do so much for us here on YT already and I know that takes enough time!! Nevermind Boones bs. Lol. Thank you for all you do bro!
This press conf is the most I have ever heard a Lawyer give of his case, and he seems transparent, and confident that he can get this done. Admirable. He seems upfront and honest.
Transparent enough to admit that he will blame it all on the victim's family, to be a awful breed of humans or something? Upfront and honest, yes. And appearantly a terrible person at the same time.
I don’t see upfront and honest - the pro bono/not pro bono issue, bringing up Jorge’s brother, and other inconsistencies in his statements take away from “upfront” and “honest.”
I imagine the screaming match between Sarah and her lawyer included "BUT IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL"!!!! There is just no accountability from her whatsoever. Those videos she took of Jorge in the suitcase speak for themselves.
Not that she didn’t start with remorse. But at this point almost 4 years later she is in full preservation mode. Narcissist as she is of course no remorse or self reflection
Peter, you are so relatable. I really felt your character of being a good husband, dad, family member while listening to you explain why you can’t help everyone that needs help. You do so much for this community you’ve created than you’ll ever know. Thank you for just being you and sharing your knowledge of our justice system. I’m glad SB has an attorney now. Let’s just see if she can keep him. 😊
I support what sounds like this channel's disinclination to cover the Soto case. It's getting huge coverage elsewhere and yeah, it's so incredibly dark, involving a child, I've been avoiding it, myself. I've learned to choose which cases I follow closely and this one fills me with so much fury and sorrow I just can't spend time with it.
You are truly the best true crime lawyer on RUclips ! I live in the U.K & found myself just loving the way you engage, inform & speak the language that brings everyone in. I knew absolutely nothing about the law in the U.S but since following Peter & on occasion his wonderful Dad I have become a true crime sponge, by that I mean whatever & however Peter describes Court cases I just absorb the knowledge so easily & it has made me appreciate what lawyers do behind as well as in front of the scenes. I love true crime but love it more when the technicalities are explained so well. I can imagine in the not too distant future the LYK will become the PWK! 😉 Professor that we all know fits Peter like a glove! Thank you again for such wonderful videos, I can now watch true crime videos with a better understanding on how the law works, really fascinating & enjoyable, thank you Peter! ⚖️⚖️
I believe and correct me if I’m wrong, the court has to be officially made aware of how a client is acquiring (financially) an attorney especially if a defendant is declared indigent. IF not, the attorney could have a time asking court/JAC for help with the financial costs associated with expert testimony. Could be a situation where she could afford the attorney and but not the costs of expert witnesses but I don’t think that’s the case here. Either way the court has to know the defendant’s status or ability to pay anyone, on record, with future motions associated with costs and the costs of the taxpayer. I think her attorney saying “she’ll owe me” is a way of getting around that.
Laws need to be established---- dealing with defendants that have "behavioral issues" This is unacceptable to waste our tax dollars and court time. These toxic behaviors are on the rise. Set stipulations so this doesn't become a reoccurrence.
Broken Baker read her inmate notes. They were hilarious. On the 28th there was shouting in a meeting between them guards had to get involved. Baker does everything so light hearted the notes in jail were really funny. 93 pieces of cheese stolen 😂
This lawyer IMMEDIATELY lost me when he said the Torres brothers are violent against women!! How dare he!! That's akin to victim blaming!! What the brother did or not do has NOTHING to do with Jorge!!! What a DISGUSTING thing to say!!
Well, but it’s true. And it’s also this man’s job. You’re going to really be offended during her trial when the arrest and medical records come in, where he stabbed her in the leg.
@@anyone_but_me She probably pushed ALL of his buttons. She is that narcissistic and that's what they do. Shes the girl who cried wolf. Still never an excuse for victim blaming
@@Boss_Lady.325 It is the lawyers' job to victim-blame. They have to discredit the victim, make him the bad guy, and make Sarah look innocent. I don't think it is possible to make SB look innocent, but he will try.
So so true about work life balance. I am a flight RN in the mountains in the western US. In my early days flying, I never turned down a call, pushing the limits in weather and aircraft capability. That was until I watched my sister aircraft go up in crap weather, and slam into the side of a Mesa. Lost all 3 crew. We all knew better. My career cost me my first marriage and a ton of relationships. Not to mention the mental health issues. 12 years later, I find myself having a similar conversation with my newbies. Know your limits. Do what you can when you can safely. Any career based in service to your community is a hard path to walk.
I really like her new lawyer & Im pleased she finally has a lawyer she has confidence in & he seems to like her. 😊 I hope things are up from here & justice is finally served in the end 🙏 👍
I went back and looked at the court records for Jorge and for Sarah. He doesn’t have that many. Some are violation of probation. If you follow his date of birth, you can see that there’s a lot of Jorge Torres, but they’re not all him. She has one as well for attempted strangling. I think it’s gonna be hard to say she is the battered spouse
but the ex husband also said the new boyfriend was arrested multiple times for domestic violence and sarah bailed him out every time. I think she has an excellent case for battered spouse syndrome. If she can shut up and let her lawyer do the lawyering. Had had multiple charges. Sarah had one. He was an unemployed drunk, homeless, sponging off her alimony checks. How the RUclips True Crime comment section community exalted him to martyrdom status cracks me up. Did he deserve to die? Of course not. But people let their dislike of her personally cloud their objectivity. Let’s not forget that 3 of Sarah’s attorneys had to recuse due to conflict because it turned out they had each represented Torres in previous criminal cases. I think, had the public gotten an opportunity to get to know Torres before he was killed, we would find him as equally as unlikeable as Ms. Boone.
Lawyer Hobson (#7) already hired a crime scene investigator who did a crime scene reconstruction. It cost $10,000 plus all travel and daily expenses. If the one Owens proposes isn't doing anything different that the original one did then it should be denied. Duplicate experts should not be appointed. I notice that there was no motion for the hiring of the forensic psychologist that testified in the Martia Thompson case (This is the third expert Owens wanted to hire) . His testimony about altered perceived threat under BWS got Martia Thompson an acquittal even though she shot her husband while he was laying on the couch sleeping. Her case mirrored Sara Boone's case. I would've liked to have seen the trial but Court TV didn't archive it. I think that's why Sara Boone was smiling so much in court yesterday. She is hoping this expert will get her an acquittal too. Maybe he still wasn't able to get a hold of him. This also might be why Owens let it slip about Jorge's brother's case. This expert might be forthcoming. I believe that this will be their defense; altered perceived threat under battered wife syndrome as he discussed in yesterday's hearing. Could you do a segment on the Martia Thompson case? Have you ever used this defense?
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!The taxpayers of Florida should NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR DUPLICATE EXPERTS PERIOD!!! Owens has all the experts he needs to defend SB. This is just a circus, and Owens believes he is the Ringmaster.
Idt he let it slip about Farel... he's starting the public character assassination of horses family. Just imo. I hope Owens gets egg on his face before he falls flat on it. As a YT watcher, he knows full well about Sarah and her case. I suspect he's been working on it for a while ... let's see how he lawyers this
I think James Owens is a great person and will be judged accordingly at the end of the day! Wonderful thing he is doing for the client and our justice system!!!! God Bless Him 👍
It's so ridiculous for this man to act like he is some righteous defense attorney when throwing the brother directly under the bus while he is also presumed innocent.
Lmao you mean he’s DOING HIS JOB? 😂, you’ve already thrown Sarah under the bus as everyone else following this case has because she recorded herself commuting the crime. Likewise this dude stabbed the mother of his kids in the head and then admitted to it. So what do you mean by “presumed innocent”? 😂. The dude here stated FACTS. And facts are LEGAL to say. Even if they hurt your feelings 😂
@@Isabelle5557and that’s why it won’t be allowed in court. But this dudes other job is to take the court of public opinion and that’s what he’s doing. Welcome to defense lawyers. This is what they do if you ask them to.
@@kateashby3066 I could be allowed in court if the prosecution makes a window for it. I think initially it would be considered not relevant to the case, however, if the prosecution tries to say "Jorge was raised by a loving, caring, non-violent family", then the defense can bring in evidence to counter that characterization. This will be an interesting trial to watch. I can see this case going like Casey Anthony if the prosecution is lazy or not careful what they say.
The video she took shows she was not in danger ,she sat laugh he had trums blunt force top of head n multiple injuries while she had none n laughed n mocked n her depraved mind n heart said F him idc if he cannot breath n went upstairs or sat there till he passed. She did not care for him so IDC for her. LWOP since she denied a plea deal!
Depending on the ruling, can the judge state it such that defendant can’t profit from any book/movie deal? Also, could Jorge’s family file a civil suit and have first rights to any future monies Sarah may receive?
@@TheColorgrl He probably has considered that. Even if the family sues for Sarah's monies, they can't sue Owen's if he chooses to write his own story. It is an interesting topic though. I'd like more education on the legalities of profiting on crime coverage. I know there are rules about not having influence on the jury during a trial and not having bias for judges, however IDK what the rules are for lawyers? And what about after trial? I read the book "Helter Skelter" which was written by the prosecutor for the Manson murders. It was an interesting point of view and very informative, however is there any obligations for the real people mentioned in the book? I like to think he got permissions from everyone before publishing, however IDK if that's required?
It definitely helps her that she has a lawyer who speaks so compassionately of her. He’s a seasoned professional, I am looking h forward to seeing him in action, especially on such short notice. To be clear, I do not hope they win, Jorge deserves justice.
Not only that, brothers can be as different from each other as night and day. That was very unprofessional in my opinion to lump the brothers together and make a blanket statement like that. I am speaking from experience having grown up with six brothers.
@@Auqua1973 what did she do that was “violent”? Did she stab him and leave the knife stuck in his head like the brother did? Jackass Jorge got in the suitcase on his own. She didn’t hog tie him.

We will see if this "new attorney" still sounds the same AFTER he has had to deal with Sarah Boone for a bit. He is delusional if he thinks other people wants to stick their neck out and deal with this difficult client who acts like a sociopath. I believe this "lawyer" wants to "get famous" defending a control freak who murdered her boyfriend and videoed it.
She already fooled him. He had to get schooled by the judge, while idiot has the past orders. She STILL has the discovery. To manipulate whatever she wants.
No offense but duh. That’s obviously why he’s doing it as he’s all over the tv now. And he will act the same way all lawyers do- he will remain respectful and even lie to defend her.
That’s a bold statement to say all lawyers lie. Maybe you are simply another that just can’t accept a defense. That would surely flip on you if you needed a defense even no matter how minor. I question your ethics and motives.
A lawyer once played prosecutor with me. It was eye opening. But I learned to how to answer the unanswerable questions: "I disagree with the question".
Peter, Caught the Live but had to finish the last 10 min on the replay. I smiled when you said that you weren't speaking loudly at about the 35 mark. I also appreciate the speed you speak at. I don't come here to go to sleep, I come to learn. Keep on keepin' on!
I think it's very disgusting and inappropriate for him to bring up George's brother. If that's the case, then Sarah's brother and him.Being imprisoned and the horrible things he's been convicted.That needs to be allowed as well
What do you mean by “allowed”? None of this is going to be in the trial. So no, it’s not allowed. He is her LAWYER, so of course he is going to do anything necessary to get the judgment off of her. That’s literally his job. Any lawyer who has ever done a press conference has done the same. You advocate for your client, by ANY means necessary. And while it’s not logical in terms of “Jorge and his brother are violent therefore they ask for violent things to happen to them”, it’s relevant in that the general public act like Jorge was a poor innocent victim. No he wasn’t. He absolutely played a part here. He IS a victim but he played a part, he’s not innocent. His criminal file shows that.
@@JCM-ry6de He knows she has no money. So if he believes he's getting paid (I'm not sure he really does, but let's go with it), surely it makes sense to ask: with what?
You are easy on the ears (and eyes) 😊 so many youtubers latch on to the latest topic but have nothing to say and just repeat themselves or do annoying catch phrases you're very professional and poised and I always learn something thank you.
If she’s convicted can the judge impose an order like they did on WI for Darrell Brooks that she can’t profit from this case, book deals, movie offers etc?
Thanks, Peter. I respect that your analysis is shared without resorting to hyperbole. Just calmly discussing the facts in order to watch the trial from the viewpoint of a juror.
I do imagine if my sister put my brother in a suitcase and he suffocated to death: she killed him and needs to pay for her crime! Obviously she was in control hence he was the one in the suitcase… not her
Bravo, Peter! I’m proud of you for putting your family and clients first! You obviously lead a balanced life and you are all the more healthy because of it! You are a great example!
I am glad Sarah will have a lawyer. Otherwise, she can come back with an unfair legal representation in an appeal. Owens is mentioning a plea deal. She should be sentenced to 40 to life, a plea deal of 30 yrs, at the minimum. He also talked as about getting her abused 'spouse" conditions. My problem with that is, she didn't call the police. We didn't see him abusing her on video. He had several arrests, but Sarah was having him arrested to show her control. Wasn't she playing the damsel in distress? When Jorge was arrested, he was passive towards the Policemen. Will they be able to locate the upstairs witnesses, who heard the suitcase going downstairs, then the silence? She waited hours, called her ex-husband, & he told her to call the police. I honestly think she was going to ask him to get rid of her Samsonite. That is why she waited & never called LE! He walked away. No sense in becoming an accessory to mur...der. Narcissists expect complete loyalty & control over everyone.
It is. Convicted felons cannot profit off their case. All proceeds go to the family for fines and civil cases. If funds are donated for attorney's fess go to attorney, and extra go to fines.
@Lawyer you know, I don't UNDERSTAND how and why ppl are complaining about the volumn being too loud. Adjust your own volumn ppl!! You are NOT TOO LOUD.
I was happy that Sarah had an atty until he pulled that slimeball snake move of calling the beautiful Torres family "dysfunctional" . 9 siblings , one is charged with violence but he is innocent until proven guilty. Jorge never had any charges until he got with psychopathic Sarah. the Torres family should sue Owens TODAY.
@@paisleydreamzz true and if he is going to slander the victims, Jorge, entire family , then why didnt he mention Sarah's repeat convicted felon brother ? it was a slimy move
I agree did you see the interview he did after court? Is that what you are referring to? I didn’t like how he said that about the victim & his brother. His brother has nothing to do with Jorge & Sarah.
From the posts I’m reading here I think we all feel the same about it being a slimeball move and I believe it’s going to work against him. Potential jurors aren’t stupid and will clearly see why he did it and will only serve to make this atty look desperate. If that’s the kind of defense he’s using to sway public opinion for Sara I feel pretty confident that a guilty verdict is the only option.
I think Sara's Lawyer is a caring soul and is wonderful for taking on this mamoth task of taking on her case , for caring about her situation of trying to defend herself. Hoping he is fully paid and rewarded well for all his time and effort in reasonable time frame. Di NSW Australia
I don’t think Ms. Boone would have even “tried” to get along with this lawyer if the judge hadn’t made her represent herself. It was a reality check to a degree. Just how much she did or didn’t learn remains to be seen.
@KarlaElaine100 💯 agree with you. Including whether or not she'll remember that lesson.
I don’t agree with that. She probably felt like she had some control because he was her choice. Often victims of abuse have control issues. I know Sara Boone isn’t a sympathetic victim. But I think she probably is a victim.

Florida has the death penalty. (Old Sparky). Has that been taken off the table?
@@catalinaortoljo2821 It was never on table. It’s 2nd degree and unfortunately, it’s now lethal injection

@@skygodess87. I think he has compassion for those who are incompetent and are still entitled to representation (hopefully) by a competent attorney. I respect this man.
So I see this lawyer as someone who is doing the work without the expectation of being paid but also wants his clients to assume some responsibility, agency and be invested in the working relationship, so he arranges his fees to encourage that.
Personally I think it’s a good way to approach it.
I’m glad she has legal representation.
This is a surprisingly reasonable comment for RUclips 😂😂 well done
That's how I see him as well. So far I have a lot of respect for him. He seems very genuine, which is not what I expected at all.
Why didn't she give him the judges past orders? I believe she threw all of the discovery away. The judge had to go over everything again. The judge will make her pay for her obstruction of justice.
Me too. No one should have no representation.
I agree, although I understand why most lawyers don’t handle it this way. It sounds like this lawyer has helped other people who couldn’t pay, which is admirable.
This guy is the king of diplomacy! "Sarah is a unique individual." Just brilliant. Love him.
Peter, I don’t know if you will read this. But, if you do, there are nearly 500k people who appreciate your commentary, are fine with your volume, and love this channel. I’m all for constructive criticism and being willing to grow, but I’m also in favor of knowing which criticism can and should be ignored. Change if you want to, but also know about a half a million people love this channel exactly the way it is. That’s a lot of people.

I second that!
Third that!
100 💯 percent
I notice that kind of complaint on every channel I watch. I rarely think the complaint is legit.
‼️She said he COULD get out. So, she was afraid❓❓❓That’s why she went to sleep instead of asking for help ❓❓❓
My respect for Sarah's lawyer dissipated based on that familial guilt argument at the press conference. That's the type of scummery that people think of when they think of lawyers.
Agreed! That did not play well.
Saying that your client is the type that comes out swinging probably wasn't the best thing to say lol
😂😂😂
Disagree. It explains her actions more than anything else has and helps me understand where she is coming from. She feels backed into a corner
A Corner she put herself in @candichaney2873
@@candichaney2873 but when you're being accused of murdering your boyfriend as well as having other accusations of being the perpetrator in domestic assault against him, if I were a lawyer I think I would avoid that LOL also it was more just some sarcasm
Oh when you dont give your lawyer the discovery. Don't you end up looking stupid? Is she swinging at you?
It wasn’t just disagreements. She called all of her lawyers that withdrew liars.
And worse
Mr Owens saw first hand how aggressive Sarah is when you disagree with her. Battered spouse syndrome my arse.
And thats what we know about. Lord knows what was said behind closed doors
How do you know they didn’t lie are you saying some public pretender’s done lie ? Good for you on not ever having to deal with the justice system
@@Itsjustme115because unlike you we are actually following this case. She told the judge her last lawyer lied. The judge pressed her in what that meant and it turns out no one lied. Sarah just didn’t get her way and slapped that label on her lawyer. You’re welcome.
Jorge is not his brother, if Jorge was that violent, he would never have allowed Sarah to zip him up in a suit case
Correct. Anyone who's been with a violent creep knows that would never happen.
That's not true. It seems they got along until the drinking would start getting too heavy.
He zipped himself in there, so she's innocent, prove he didn't zip it up himself
Not true. He has a LONG list of battery against her.
Abusive relationships aren't all aggressive all the time.
Look up the cycle of violence.
This clueless, you're probably in it.
🤦🤷 what?!?!@@dawsondetrana5496
I wonder if Owens knows about Sarah's brother who is in jail, has a long criminal history and how he's a gross violent pedophile. Look him up. John Tyler Paulson. If we're looking at family to judge a person's character then let's talk about Sarah's brother. Ick. This case makes me sick to my stomach.
Damn, I didn't know that! Heredity or family upbringing? Nature vs Nurture?
@@LetFreedomRing-tg1bf Both
Of course Mr Owens knows! He’s just trying to change Sarah’s public image into that of a battered spouse.
It’s eerie how similar his mugshot and hers are also- Ew!
@@UTubeQu1che551 Agreed. Its the best strategy he can do. I don't blame him for trying. If it was my client, I'd try to spin it as "Sarah grew up in a dysfunctional, abusive family so it explains why she would stay in a violent relationship and feel unable to leave". Defense gotta try their best with what they got.
What does the brother have to do with Sarah Booth's trapping his brother in a suitcase?
Nothing
Not a thing other than trying to taint a prospective jury pool. He knows this information cannot be introduced in her trial. He is just trying to put that information out in hopes people (possible jurors) will hear this information and conclude that Jorge was a violent person. It’s called desperation 😅
Give'm the ole razzle dazzle.
Then it should be put out there that she has a violent pedo brother in jail too.
That just goes to show that there’s always someone for someone,this lawyer able to make senses to this difficult client is just great.
So far!
I have been waiting for this trial and am so frustrated 😤 I cannot imagine how Jorge Sarah Boones victim family feel. They must feel worse than any of us.
Agreed! 👍
Peter for all the people who complain you talk too fast, I always watch you on 2x speed and you always sound great! You’re the best!
Jorge’s brother has ZERO to do with this trial just as much as Sarah Boone’s brother that is in prison has ZERO to do with her murdering Jorge.
I didn't like bringing up Jorge's brother either.
100% And Sarah’s abuse toward her ex husband is very relevant. Siblings not so much.
Plus Sarah was the killer here, not Jorge, and she was first as well. She killed him 4.5 years ago!
Yup and he said that as much. He said it won’t be allowed on the trial, and that’s why- it’s irrelevant. But I guarantee you that most people will hear that and start googling his brother and stop worry as much about Sarah, which is why her lawyer said this. He’s doing his job.
I think that Sarah Boone’s brothers behavior should be looked at to see what the family was like when the kids were little. What was going on there? When 2 out of 3 children have cluster B personality, and the other child is an over achiever with high security clearance in the military. The high security clearance means he is moral, smart and has a clean background. My daughter was a Korean linguistic in the Air Force and when she joined they investigated her back to her elementary school teachers 😮.
Sarah’s brother spent time in jail for a crime that I won’t repeat.
Why didn’t her attorney mention that fact??
lol of course
Is it a violent crime? Idk about it that’s why I’m asking.
@@carlaamanda86 - I’m not sure if violence was involved. Reddit has a lot of that info and I confirmed it via court records and news media.
I understand why people are upset with his tactic. In terms of the everyday real world it's hugely unfair. I'm looking at it in terms of "law world" though. Owens has a job to do, defend SB however he can. Since her case is neither slim on evidence nor full of easy to obtain reasonable doubt, he thinks he has to do this narrative changing exercise. It's not his job to be fair and tell an equal sided story. That's cold blooded AF but that's how "law world" is.
@@yzettasmith4194 Agreed. He's doing the best he can with what he has to work with.
That was slimy of that lawyer. I cannot believe that slander and victim-blaming is being framed as "changing the narrative" or fairness in any way. Disgusting.
@@ColletteAileen I’m guessing you have never been married to an abusive drunk. I have been. There is always 2 sides to the story. Not slimy at all.
Nevermind Sarah’s history of being an abuser and one of Sarah’s brother being a druggie and career criminal. My Owens needs to get to know her history.😊
And he even said it wasn't admissible, so he's just trying to get it into the media & potential jury pool. Ick
And he's looking for a % of the book, movie, documentary, etc Royalties, imo - fair enough I guess
@hollysmith according to Sarah’s ex husband, Sarah was the abusive drunk. Seems like Jorge hit her back, unlike her ex.
@@basicallyno1722 her ex has nothing to do with this
Yea, his last statement backfired with me. I really don’t like it when the victim who is dead and can’t defend themselves is blamed for being dead. The video evidence that she recorded herself is the most damning evidence. Her constant “It wasn’t intentional” during her interviews practically voids her “battered spouse” defense. And I already foresee her wanting to testify and she is going to sink herself even more when she does that.
I think it likely she’ll yell at the prosecutor if she gives evidence. Just as she did at Owen’s in jail when he “played prosecutor “ to show her what she is up against!!!
Yeah there's a reason he tried to get her to plea, like prob all her other lawyers tried to. There's also a reason he paused before saying if she should testify. He knows this is not a winning case.
"I really don’t like it when the victim who is dead and can’t defend themselves is blamed for being dead."
I agree 100% with that sentence. He's up there talking about how unfair it is that Sarah was left helpless and the system abandoned her and that's why he want to be her advocate. Then he starts blaming the victim in such a heinous way, the victim who truly cannot defend himself, the victim that can't write letters complaining about everything, the victim that can't ask for help anymore. That just sits really wrong with me.
If you're going to talk bad about the dead, you really should have solid evidence, you should do it in a measured way, and you definitely shouldn't be doing it on tv before the reason of their death has been figured out and concluded.
God willing she will testify.
I like this lawyer. He seems like the kind of person I would want to represent me. Realistic and thoughtful.
Sorry, but no sympathy for this defense attorney no matter what happens. He asked for it...literally.
It literally sounds like he borderline begged her to let him take it. He also said himself he's "been watching alot of RUclips". If I know how bad this is - then he also knows 😂
Agreed
@@zombieoes I wondered if he actually has much work if he can watch true crime that often
He’s a man of principle. That shouldn’t be looked down upon. That said, was his decision a good one, who knows.
@JCM whether he’s a man of principle is to be determined. Need more data.
IS THERE ANY JUSTICE FOR JORGE???? LETS NOT FORGET THAT SHE PUT HIM IN A SUITCASE. JORGE NEEDS JUSTICE.
I truly feel he will get justice in the end, when this circus ends.
We can want justice for Jorge and also want Sarah to receive a fair trial. They can co-exist.
He will get justice. The jury will see through her bs and see the videos/interrogation for what they are
I haven’t heard ANYONE comment or report on this case without remembering, mentioning and wanting justice first Jorge and his horrific death in a SUITCASE. At the same time a fair trial with a proper attorney will keep this from turning into more of a circus than Sarah has already made it. Sarah would make a mockery of Jorge’s death and it would be horrible for Jorge’s family to have to be questioned or crossed by the person responsible for his death.
@@LeahJo13Thank you.
The evidence is negative towards her, not the media
Thank you so so much for covering the Boone case. I don't know why this case fascinates me, but every day at work I look forward to seeing if there has been something for you to cover with the Boone case. Also, thank you so much for breaking all of the legalese and laws down, it really helps me as a layperson understand what is going on.
Sarah brought her predicament on herself. I didn’t feel bad for her one bit about not having a lawyer.🤷🏽♀️
How would you feel about a guilty verdict getting overturned on appeal if the appellate court found that her obnoxious conduct was *not* bad enough to constitute an involuntary waiver of her right to appointed counsel?
To put it in context, other criminal defendants have physically assaulted their defense attorneys, sometimes even grabbing one of their attorney's pen and stabbing their attorney in the neck, yet those criminal defendants retained their right to counsel. I don't think the appellate court will agree that Sarah Boone involuntarily waived her right to appointed counsel by merely saying mean words about them, especially since she was never warned to stop doing that. I think Sarah Boone is 100% guilty of Second Degree Murder and I want her guilty verdicts to be upheld by the appellate courts.
@kathrynjavandel4357 I see where you're coming from, but I'm not sure your analogy is entirely applicable here. Physically assaulting your lawyer is one thing. But Sarah has objectively and demonstrably engaged in behavior that could very easily be construed as not allowing not one, not two, but 8 lawyers to represent her to the best of their ability. There are certain decisions that are absolutely left up to the client, but lawyers exist for a reason, after all. They're the experts and are there to use that expertise to provide the best defense they possibly can. Sarah, for lack of a better term, essentially "Karen'd" her way through all those attorneys by simply not allowing them to do their jobs. I could see it getting turned over on appeal if it were one, two, or maybe even 3 attorneys. But 8? That's a clear and identifiable pattern of behavior on the part of Miss Boone. I think the judge made the right call by forcing to her to represent herself. Specifically in so far as describing it as "exhausting" her right to "court appointed" counsel. She didn't lose the ability to retain counsel. She lost the ability to have FREE counsel provided to her by engaging in what could very easily be described as intentional and habitual behavior. Just my take. I'm not a lawyer, either. So I could be ridiculously off the mark here.
@@AxelordSMIJES Agree. Also, Sarah’s lawyers indicated “ethical” issues, and that tells me that if they went along with whatever she wanted, they could be disciplined or disbarred, thus pretty much ending their careers. The attorneys asked to withdraw and she agreed as per her letters and statements in court. The lawyer I recall who was stabbed with a pen or pencil didn’t ask to withdraw. Also, they were already in trial, not several months out which gave attorneys the opportunity to respond.
I think she will keep this one.
Re: defense attorneys taking on the case - he is an older lawyer who has had a lot of work under his belt and probably can afford to do some pro bono work.
He's not pro bono. He said she will owe him.
I'm pretty sure her stans had a fund for a psychologist. They probably retained him with it.
He said a third party reached out to him.
When the judge was reading into the record mentioning he was pro bono, shouldn’t he have corrected that fact that Sarah owes him? Hi is not pro-bono.
He probably has a good idea he's pro bono.
In essence he is pro bono. A “ I’ll catch up to you” is not a payment, not a true promise to pay. The chances of him being paid back are slim. So, currently, yes, pro bono would be closer to the truth
And what about the staff that help him? 😮
@@ideenfeewhat about them? They will get paid. Let me ask you this, why do you think he’s taking this case if he’s not going to see a dime? FREE PRESS. It will boost his presence and he can bump up his fees. Whatever the case though, he legally HAS to pay his employees. So he’s taking a hit in the pocketbook because he knows it will come back 100 fold in the future.
@@sisvssis2235which is probably why he's giving it low effort honestly. She wants to go the battered spouse route and as a lawyer he's obligated to take on a certain amount of probono work so he can check off a box while appeasing her. Dumb or not she's got a right to have someone who can properly represent her and this guy is going to do that knowing full well they're going to lose and he's not going to be paid.
Peter, I respect your good boundries & good judgement. 👍🏽
This attorney knew what he was getting into. He knows that it will be an uphill battle. If he's battling with his conscience then more power to him. The video of the victim in the suitcase speaks volumes. And Sarah HAD ample enough opportunity to escape this "abusive" relationship way before the actual crime. I see another Casey Anthony case. Different players though. She is still guilty. I will never change my mind on that. She had the SAME opportunity that everyone else has in that situation to LEAVE the situation. No matter HOW hard it may be. She didn't. After witnessing her behavior, reading all her self centered letters? I hope she is convicted and goes to prison. For life. She COULD have removed herself and moved on with her life. But she made a choice. Period.
You whisper so you don't blow our eardrums out was adorable. Always a gentleman❤

You’re a class act Peter, and you certainly have your priorities straight. Your family is a VERY IMPORTANT part in your life. Awesome Peter. 👍🇨🇦
This press conf is the most I have ever heard a Lawyer give of his case, and he seems transparent, and confident that he can get this done. Admirable. He seems upfront and honest.
Nah.
Transparent enough to admit that he will blame it all on the victim's family, to be a awful breed of humans or something? Upfront and honest, yes. And appearantly a terrible person at the same time.
I don’t see upfront and honest - the pro bono/not pro bono issue, bringing up Jorge’s brother, and other inconsistencies in his statements take away from “upfront” and “honest.”
@@HRHMom I 💯 Agree 👍
I imagine the screaming match between Sarah and her lawyer included "BUT IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL"!!!! There is just no accountability from her whatsoever. Those videos she took of Jorge in the suitcase speak for themselves.

@@suesteele7769 SB said she put him in the suitcase. He may have been unconscious.

You do so much for this community you’ve created than you’ll ever know. Thank you for just being you and sharing your knowledge of our justice system. I’m glad SB has an attorney now. Let’s just see if she can keep him. 😊
I support what sounds like this channel's disinclination to cover the Soto case. It's getting huge coverage elsewhere and yeah, it's so incredibly dark, involving a child, I've been avoiding it, myself. I've learned to choose which cases I follow closely and this one fills me with so much fury and sorrow I just can't spend time with it.
You are truly the best true crime lawyer on RUclips ! I live in the U.K & found myself just loving the way you engage, inform & speak the language that brings everyone in. I knew absolutely nothing about the law in the U.S but since following Peter & on occasion his wonderful Dad I have become a true crime sponge, by that I mean whatever & however Peter describes Court cases I just absorb the knowledge so easily & it has made me appreciate what lawyers do behind as well as in front of the scenes. I love true crime but love it more when the technicalities are explained so well. I can imagine in the not too distant future the LYK will become the PWK! 😉 Professor that we all know fits Peter like a glove! Thank you again for such wonderful videos, I can now watch true crime videos with a better understanding on how the law works, really fascinating & enjoyable, thank you Peter! ⚖️⚖️
I believe and correct me if I’m wrong, the court has to be officially made aware of how a client is acquiring (financially) an attorney especially if a defendant is declared indigent. IF not, the attorney could have a time asking court/JAC for help with the financial costs associated with expert testimony. Could be a situation where she could afford the attorney and but not the costs of expert witnesses but I don’t think that’s the case here.
Either way the court has to know the defendant’s status or ability to pay anyone, on record, with future motions associated with costs and the costs of the taxpayer.
I think her attorney saying “she’ll owe me” is a way of getting around that.
I think he might write the book. He can recover with that, and movie based on it. Maybe.
Ironic that the RUclips coverage she’s been so upset about is what got her a lawyer in the end
I love this. It's so true.
Someone should remind her of that next time she whines about media presence in courtroom and being broadcast on “global scale” like she says.
Laws need to be established---- dealing with defendants that have "behavioral issues" This is unacceptable to waste our tax dollars and court time. These toxic behaviors are on the rise. Set stipulations so this doesn't become a reoccurrence.
There's gotta be a limit.
Peter, I love that you “whispered” your comment:) 😂 No one can yell at you 😂😂😂
WHUUUUUT Sarah Boone is ALREADY FIGHTING WITH her lawyer lmao not surprised at alll
What happen?
Broken Baker read her inmate notes. They were hilarious. On the 28th there was shouting in a meeting between them guards had to get involved. Baker does everything so light hearted the notes in jail were really funny. 93 pieces of cheese stolen 😂
This lawyer IMMEDIATELY lost me when he said the Torres brothers are violent against women!! How dare he!! That's akin to victim blaming!! What the brother did or not do has NOTHING to do with Jorge!!! What a DISGUSTING thing to say!!
Well, but it’s true. And it’s also this man’s job. You’re going to really be offended during her trial when the arrest and medical records come in, where he stabbed her in the leg.

@@anyone_but_me She probably pushed ALL of his buttons. She is that narcissistic and that's what they do. Shes the girl who cried wolf. Still never an excuse for victim blaming
@@Boss_Lady.325 It is the lawyers' job to victim-blame. They have to discredit the victim, make him the bad guy, and make Sarah look innocent. I don't think it is possible to make SB look innocent, but he will try.
100% disgusting.
So so true about work life balance. I am a flight RN in the mountains in the western US. In my early days flying, I never turned down a call, pushing the limits in weather and aircraft capability. That was until I watched my sister aircraft go up in crap weather, and slam into the side of a Mesa. Lost all 3 crew. We all knew better. My career cost me my first marriage and a ton of relationships. Not to mention the mental health issues. 12 years later, I find myself having a similar conversation with my newbies. Know your limits. Do what you can when you can safely. Any career based in service to your community is a hard path to walk.
I really like her new lawyer & Im pleased she finally has a lawyer she has confidence in & he seems to like her. 😊 I hope things are up from here & justice is finally served in the end 🙏 👍
I went back and looked at the court records for Jorge and for Sarah. He doesn’t have that many. Some are violation of probation. If you follow his date of birth, you can see that there’s a lot of Jorge Torres, but they’re not all him. She has one as well for attempted strangling. I think it’s gonna be hard to say she is the battered spouse
Especially with jer ex husband telling the police how Sarah would get violent when she drank (which seems often).
but the ex husband also said the new boyfriend was arrested multiple times for domestic violence and sarah bailed him out every time.
I think she has an excellent case for battered spouse syndrome. If she can shut up and let her lawyer do the lawyering.
Had had multiple charges. Sarah had one.
He was an unemployed drunk, homeless, sponging off her alimony checks. How the RUclips True Crime comment section community exalted him to martyrdom status cracks me up. Did he deserve to die? Of course not. But people let their dislike of her personally cloud their objectivity. Let’s not forget that 3 of Sarah’s attorneys had to recuse due to conflict because it turned out they had each represented Torres in previous criminal cases.
I think, had the public gotten an opportunity to get to know Torres before he was killed, we would find him as equally as unlikeable as Ms. Boone.
Jorges brother is NOT the one on trial!
Peter you’re the best-love the lowered voice as you interjected😂. I see you as an honorable man who truly wants to help people. Respect.
Sarah’s a fighter alright. Fought with Jorge till she killed him
She was definitely the antagonist, Jorge was the protagonist in this saga.
Lawyer Hobson (#7) already hired a crime scene investigator who did a crime scene reconstruction. It cost $10,000 plus all travel and daily expenses. If the one Owens proposes isn't doing anything different that the original one did then it should be denied. Duplicate experts should not be appointed.
I notice that there was no motion for the hiring of the forensic psychologist that testified in the Martia Thompson case (This is the third expert Owens wanted to hire) . His testimony about altered perceived threat under BWS got Martia Thompson an acquittal even though she shot her husband while he was laying on the couch sleeping. Her case mirrored Sara Boone's case. I would've liked to have seen the trial but Court TV didn't archive it. I think that's why Sara Boone was smiling so much in court yesterday. She is hoping this expert will get her an acquittal too. Maybe he still wasn't able to get a hold of him. This also might be why Owens let it slip about Jorge's brother's case.
This expert might be forthcoming. I believe that this will be their defense; altered perceived threat under battered wife syndrome as he discussed in yesterday's hearing.
Could you do a segment on the Martia Thompson case? Have you ever used this defense?
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!The taxpayers of Florida should NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR DUPLICATE EXPERTS PERIOD!!! Owens has all the experts he needs to defend SB. This is just a circus, and Owens believes he is the Ringmaster.
Idt he let it slip about Farel... he's starting the public character assassination of horses family. Just imo. I hope Owens gets egg on his face before he falls flat on it. As a YT watcher, he knows full well about Sarah and her case. I suspect he's been working on it for a while ... let's see how he lawyers this
The interviewer was straight up “well what are you getting” … “well Sarah’s going to pay me back one day” oh my 😮
From her movie deal money
This attorney is very likable he can only help
Watching on replay. Thanks for your insights Peter🌸
I think James Owens is a great person and will be judged accordingly at the end of the day!
Wonderful thing he is doing for the client and our justice system!!!!
God Bless Him 👍
It's so ridiculous for this man to act like he is some righteous defense attorney when throwing the brother directly under the bus while he is also presumed innocent.
And it seems super irrelevant to me. What his brother did has nothing to do with Jorge?
i think if her first few attorneys who left for other reasons had stayed she would be out by now.
Lmao you mean he’s DOING HIS JOB? 😂, you’ve already thrown Sarah under the bus as everyone else following this case has because she recorded herself commuting the crime. Likewise this dude stabbed the mother of his kids in the head and then admitted to it. So what do you mean by “presumed innocent”? 😂. The dude here stated FACTS. And facts are LEGAL to say. Even if they hurt your feelings 😂
@@Isabelle5557and that’s why it won’t be allowed in court. But this dudes other job is to take the court of public opinion and that’s what he’s doing. Welcome to defense lawyers. This is what they do if you ask them to.
@@kateashby3066 I could be allowed in court if the prosecution makes a window for it. I think initially it would be considered not relevant to the case, however, if the prosecution tries to say "Jorge was raised by a loving, caring, non-violent family", then the defense can bring in evidence to counter that characterization. This will be an interesting trial to watch. I can see this case going like Casey Anthony if the prosecution is lazy or not careful what they say.
The video she took shows she was not in danger ,she sat laugh he had trums blunt force top of head n multiple injuries while she had none n laughed n mocked n her depraved mind n heart said F him idc if he cannot breath n went upstairs or sat there till he passed. She did not care for him so IDC for her. LWOP since she denied a plea deal!
This atty sounds smart and hard working. God bless him! She needs someone special! ♥️🙏🇺🇸
Depending on the ruling, can the judge state it such that defendant can’t profit from any book/movie deal? Also, could Jorge’s family file a civil suit and have first rights to any future monies Sarah may receive?
You have a point there. Oh that would just take the twists and turns up a notch. Surely this lawyer has considered that
@@TheColorgrl He probably has considered that. Even if the family sues for Sarah's monies, they can't sue Owen's if he chooses to write his own story. It is an interesting topic though. I'd like more education on the legalities of profiting on crime coverage. I know there are rules about not having influence on the jury during a trial and not having bias for judges, however IDK what the rules are for lawyers? And what about after trial? I read the book "Helter Skelter" which was written by the prosecutor for the Manson murders. It was an interesting point of view and very informative, however is there any obligations for the real people mentioned in the book? I like to think he got permissions from everyone before publishing, however IDK if that's required?
It definitely helps her that she has a lawyer who speaks so compassionately of her. He’s a seasoned professional, I am looking h forward to seeing him in action, especially on such short notice. To be clear, I do not hope they win, Jorge deserves justice.
Just because the Torres brothers are violent doesn't mean that Boone isn't violent too. She recorded her violence and murder of the man.
And maybe Jorges brother was suffering battered spouce syndrome.
Not only that, brothers can be as different from each other as night and day. That was very unprofessional in my opinion to lump the brothers together and make a blanket statement like that. I am speaking from experience having grown up with six brothers.
@@Auqua1973 what did she do that was “violent”? Did she stab him and leave the knife stuck in his head like the brother did? Jackass Jorge got in the suitcase on his own. She didn’t hog tie him.

We will see if this "new attorney" still sounds the same AFTER he has had to deal with Sarah Boone for a bit. He is delusional if he thinks other people wants to stick their neck out and deal with this difficult client who acts like a sociopath. I believe this "lawyer" wants to "get famous" defending a control freak who murdered her boyfriend and videoed it.
She already fooled him. He had to get schooled by the judge, while idiot has the past orders. She STILL has the discovery. To manipulate whatever she wants.
To be fair he did decline her case but she kept calling him anyways demonstrating how well she can manipulate.
No offense but duh. That’s obviously why he’s doing it as he’s all over the tv now. And he will act the same way all lawyers do- he will remain respectful and even lie to defend her.
He’s just fortunate the trial is around the corner!
That’s a bold statement to say all lawyers lie. Maybe you are simply another that just can’t accept a defense. That would surely flip on you if you needed a defense even no matter how minor. I question your ethics and motives.
A lawyer once played prosecutor with me. It was eye opening. But I learned to how to answer the unanswerable questions: "I disagree with the question".
This guy probably has made his money by now. I would imagine if he’s not hurting, then why not. Sounds like a good guy!
Peter, Caught the Live but had to finish the last 10 min on the replay. I smiled when you said that you weren't speaking loudly at about the 35 mark. I also appreciate the speed you speak at. I don't come here to go to sleep, I come to learn. Keep on keepin' on!
I think it's very disgusting and inappropriate for him to bring up George's brother. If that's the case, then Sarah's brother and him.Being imprisoned and the horrible things he's been convicted.That needs to be allowed as well
What do you mean by “allowed”? None of this is going to be in the trial. So no, it’s not allowed. He is her LAWYER, so of course he is going to do anything necessary to get the judgment off of her. That’s literally his job. Any lawyer who has ever done a press conference has done the same. You advocate for your client, by ANY means necessary. And while it’s not logical in terms of “Jorge and his brother are violent therefore they ask for violent things to happen to them”, it’s relevant in that the general public act like Jorge was a poor innocent victim. No he wasn’t. He absolutely played a part here. He IS a victim but he played a part, he’s not innocent. His criminal file shows that.
Thankyou for breaking everything down, explaining all the legal jargon and processes in a way we can all understand 😊👍 Di NSW Australia
Yes to doing Hannah's plea agreement.
Thank you for
Covering!!
I find it creepy when he says “Sarah’s gotta pay me back one day”.
Right!! Almost like Casey Anthony with Jose Biaz!!
I would get that in writing.
Why? He wants her to take responsibility, as she should. Nothing creepy about that.
@@JCM-ry6de He knows she has no money. So if he believes he's getting paid (I'm not sure he really does, but let's go with it), surely it makes sense to ask: with what?
@@valerielevasseur8674 With Netflix and book deals.
I am so glad I watch you. I've seen this interview twice and didn't really understand.
I keep barely missing the lives 😢 you're awesome regardless cannot wait for October 7th
You are easy on the ears (and eyes) 😊 so many youtubers latch on to the latest topic but have nothing to say and just repeat themselves or do annoying catch phrases you're very professional and poised and I always learn something thank you.
another female sheeple
If she’s convicted can the judge impose an order like they did on WI for Darrell Brooks that she can’t profit from this case, book deals, movie offers etc?
Yea but there’s ways around it and that doesn’t mean her lawyer can’t. Lol.
Glad for her that she has an attorney now....but F! The pro se was going to be SO FUN!
So maybe the yelling was him “playing the prosecutor”. Not them arguing. ?
Thanks, Peter. I respect that your analysis is shared without resorting to hyperbole. Just calmly discussing the facts in order to watch the trial from the viewpoint of a juror.
I do imagine if my sister put my brother in a suitcase and he suffocated to death: she killed him and needs to pay for her crime! Obviously she was in control hence he was the one in the suitcase… not her
He suffered & begged! UGH!
Bravo, Peter! I’m proud of you for putting your family and clients first! You obviously lead a balanced life and you are all the more healthy because of it! You are a great example!
awwwww
What puzzles me is why do interviews to begin with..... like this case needs even more media footage
He's not getting paid except for publicity. You will be seeing a lot of him.
@@sophocles1198Absolutely! Court TV all the way
Another great stream Peter ! I like the fast talk too.
If you go through 9 lawyers you don't deserve any help. JFC.

Thank you Peter. Looking forward to more videos on Sarah Boone’s case.
I am glad Sarah will have a lawyer. Otherwise, she can come back with an unfair legal representation in an appeal. Owens is mentioning a plea deal. She should be sentenced to 40 to life, a plea deal of 30 yrs, at the minimum. He also talked as about getting her abused 'spouse" conditions. My problem with that is, she didn't call the police. We didn't see him abusing her on video. He had several arrests, but Sarah was having him arrested to show her control. Wasn't she playing the damsel in distress? When Jorge was arrested, he was passive towards the Policemen. Will they be able to locate the upstairs witnesses, who heard the suitcase going downstairs, then the silence? She waited hours, called her ex-husband, & he told her to call the police. I honestly think she was going to ask him to get rid of her Samsonite. That is why she waited & never called LE! He walked away. No sense in becoming an accessory to mur...der. Narcissists expect complete loyalty & control over everyone.
Wow thanks so much for this Peter! I will be waiting for the next update with much excitement. Am glad she has a lawyer😃🙏
The judge didn't switch lawyers, but she drove them off.
She won't give him the case file she has! When your client withholds info!
The way he maneuvered her into what is good for her, so 🎉 good, and a pretty good indication of his skill and understanding of humans
I think it's so disgusting that murderers are allowed to make a bunch of money off of their murders. Should be illegal.
It is. Convicted felons cannot profit off their case. All proceeds go to the family for fines and civil cases. If funds are donated for attorney's fess go to attorney, and extra go to fines.
I think he was very well spoken and intelligent. He seems very heartfelt and trying to help Sara.
Unrelated: that shade of green looks fantastic with your skin tone
The ASMR whisper commentary was amazing
@Lawyer you know, I don't UNDERSTAND how and why ppl are complaining about the volumn being too loud. Adjust your own volumn ppl!! You are NOT TOO LOUD.
Well
Said Peter!!!
I was happy that Sarah had an atty until he pulled that slimeball snake move of calling the beautiful Torres family "dysfunctional" . 9 siblings , one is charged with violence but he is innocent until proven guilty. Jorge never had any charges until he got with psychopathic Sarah. the Torres family should sue Owens TODAY.
Sarah is the same innocent until proven guilty as Jorge‘s brother.
@@paisleydreamzz true and if he is going to slander the victims, Jorge, entire family , then why didnt he mention Sarah's repeat convicted felon brother ? it was a slimy move
I agree did you see the interview he did after court? Is that what you are referring to? I didn’t like how he said that about the victim & his brother. His brother has nothing to do with Jorge & Sarah.
@@paisleydreamzz Sarah's brother has many felony convictions incl SA of a minor
From the posts I’m reading here I think we all feel the same about it being a slimeball move and I believe it’s going to work against him. Potential jurors aren’t stupid and will clearly see why he did it and will only serve to make this atty look desperate. If that’s the kind of defense he’s using to sway public opinion for Sara I feel pretty confident that a guilty verdict is the only option.
I think Sara's Lawyer is a caring soul and is wonderful for taking on this mamoth task of taking on her case , for caring about her situation of trying to defend herself. Hoping he is fully paid and rewarded well for all his time and effort in reasonable time frame. Di NSW Australia
