DEFENCE CLOSINGS

Sarah Boone was upset that her boyfriend abused and cheated on her. She might have felt like she was trapped in the relationship, so she decided to show him just how it felt to be trapped. Sarah Boone was living her boyfriend Jorge Torres in Winter Park, Florida. When Sarah Boone claimed a game of hide-and-seek went wrong, the investigation began. Then videos were found on her phone of the night in question. Sarah Boone is charged with murder for allegedly zipping her boyfriend into a suitcase, leaving him to die. Key evidence in the case is Boone's police interview where she explains victim Jorge Torres' injuries and how he even got into the suitcase. The Florida woman accused of suffocating her boyfriend using a suitcase has run through eight lawyers since she was arrested in 2020. Sarah Boone, who has sent numerous letters to the judge overseeing her case, sent a hand-drawn job posting to the judge to hang in his office. Boone has claimed to have problem after problem with her public defenders. Ahead of that, her defense attorney tried to get a huge piece of evidence against his client thrown out. Boone claims she didn’t know her rights when police questioned her, but the detective doing the interview says that’s not the case. Judge Michael Kraynick has delivered his ruling for Sarah Boone's pre-trial motions including the motion to suppress her interrogation video. The motion was denied. Sarah Boone rejected a plea deal for manslaughter last week. The State has now filed a motion to exclude Boone's battered spouse defense in the Suitcase Murder Trial. The Sarah Boone Trial begins Monday, October 14, 2024 after a brief postponement due to untenable weather conditions. Boone is charged with 2nd Degree murder, facing a minimum of 22 years in prison, and a maximum of life. In Boone's scenario, the state offered a plea deal of 15 years, with the possibility of reducing the sentence to approximately 9.75 years, whereby she has credit for time served of 4 years. She would have been out in less than 6 years... she rejected the deal. Boone's defense strategy introduces the battered spouse syndrome, aiming to establish a context of ongoing abuse that culminated in the incident in question. This defense challenges the prosecution's portrayal of the event, arguing for a recognition of the psychological and physical toll of sustained abuse on Boone's actions. However, the defense faces scrutiny regarding the sufficiency of evidence to support this claim, particularly against allegations of Boone's lack of remorse and tendency to shift blame. The legal discourse around Boone's case also delves into the admissibility of battered spouse syndrome as a defense, especially when the defendant's narrative oscillates between self-defense and accidental harm. The defense's task is to substantiate the battered spouse syndrome claim with credible evidence and witness testimonies, navigating the complexities of demonstrating the syndrome's relevance to Boone's actions. Boone's decision to reject the plea deal and pursue a defense rooted in battered spouse syndrome reflects a strategic gamble, one that hinges on the defense's ability to convincingly argue the influence of sustained abuse on her actions. The outcome of this legal maneuver will not only determine Boone's fate but also contribute to the broader discourse on the intersection of domestic abuse, psychological trauma, and criminal responsibility. This case encapsulates the challenges defendants face in navigating the criminal justice system, the strategic considerations underpinning plea negotiations, and the complexities of presenting a defense that resonates with both legal requirements and human empathy.
