A woman who killed her boyfriend by zipping him inside a suitcase has been found guilty of murder.

Sarah Boone could potentially spend the rest of her life behind bars after being found guilty of leaving her boyfriend, Jorge Torres, to die in a closed suitcase. The tragic incident occurred four years ago in Winter Park, Florida, but it wasn't until Friday that the jury reached their verdict. Boone had maintained her innocence throughout the trial, pleading not guilty to the charge of murder.

According to Boone, she and Torres had been playing a game of hide-and-seek in their home on February 23, 2020. In a moment of drunken foolishness, they thought it would be amusing for Torres to climb into the suitcase. Boone then went to sleep, assuming her boyfriend would be able to free himself from the suitcase when he woke up. However, the next morning, she was shocked to discover that Torres was still inside the suitcase and unresponsive.

It was a horrifying realization for Boone, and she was charged with murder after videos were found on her phone showing Torres screaming for help from inside the suitcase. During the 10-day trial, Boone appeared in court and Prosecutor Dave Cacciatore Jr. presented the suitcase as evidence, highlighting the disturbing videos where Torres can be heard pleading for his life and calling out Boone's name.

Boone testified that she had been a victim of past violence at the hands of Torres and that she perceived a threat of harm from him. She claimed to have acted in self-defense by keeping him trapped in the suitcase. In one of the videos, Boone can be heard saying, "Yeah, that's what you do when you choke me," in reference to a previous incident of abuse. She also mentions him cheating on her, implying that his actions had caused her to act in such a manner.

The autopsy report revealed that Torres had sustained multiple injuries, including scratches on his back and neck, contusions to his shoulder, skull, and forehead, and a cut near his lip. These injuries were consistent with blunt force trauma and further supported the prosecution's case against Boone.

Boone had gone through several attorneys since her arrest, which contributed to the delay in her trial. Finally, after four long years, justice was served, and Boone will be sentenced on December 2. She faces the possibility of spending the rest of her life in prison for her actions on that fateful night in 2020. It's a tragic and heartbreaking story for all involved, and the consequences of Boone's actions will forever haunt her and those who loved Torres.
