How are you today? I hope you're having a wonderful day so far. My name is Bailey Sarian and today's Monday. So we're going to talk about true crime while I do my makeup. New intro. No, I'm just kidding. But I do need a new intro, I feel like. I've been saying the same thing forever, huh? Don't forget to like and subscribe and all that stuff too, if you want. But I need to talk to you about today's story because I went down such a freaking rabbit all with this woman.

During quarantine, everybody was talking about Sarah Boone. Remember? Sarah Boone, Sarah Boone, Sarah Boone. And it was everywhere. For some reason, I didn't go down that lane. I don't know. I just, like, wasn't, I don't know. I just didn't get into the Sarabooten. I was on something else. Now, normally, like, I don't know if you've caught on, but when I do murder mystery makeup,

I do like to wait when, like, the sentencing is done, that way we get closure and all the facts are out there and I'm not just spreading, like, stuff I saw online. It's just, you know, it's easier to just, like, go straight to the source and get the story. Source being, like, court documents is what I mean. Anyways, I'm rambling. So Sarah Boone.

Finally, I was like, okay, let me see what's up with this woman and why everyone was talking about her so much. And let me tell you, I get it now. I get why everyone was talking about her because she's absolutely bananas. Sorry, but she is. So let me tell you about Sarah Boone, huh? Sarah Boone and George Torres, Jr. They had what you might call, like, a passionate relationship, but not like the happy. Oh, we love each other.

No, it was more like a psychotic roller coaster, no breaks type of relationship. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying. So they met in Winter Park, Florida, and I guess they had met through mutual friends. At the time, things had moved quite quickly. So there's a lot to miss Sarah Boone, okay? Like, there's a lot to her story. But at this time when she moved in with George, she had an ongoing legal fight over, like, her home situation. The place she had been living at was like trying to remove her.

I don't know. It was an ongoing legal dispute. And Sarah, she needed to find like a new apartment ASAP. So when she met George, they started seeing each other and then like quickly after they got an apartment together. So from the beginning, the relationship was on again, off again. Both of them, George and Sarah, they had a history of drinking heavily and fighting pretty violently. Now, police had been called to their home more than once. In 2018, they were both arrested for domestic violence.

Sarah allegedly tried to strangle George, and George allegedly hit her. The charges ended up getting dropped when both of them refused to testify against each other. So Sarah and George were pretty toxic, and, like, friends and family members, they tried to distance themselves from this couple, you know. but it wasn't like they could just completely cut themselves off, especially from Sarah. Well, no, from both of them, because they both had kids from a previous situation. Sarah, she actually was married, like, briefly, and she shared custody of her boy, and he would visit the apartment, like, three times, four times a week. Yeah, unfortunately, she shared custody with her child. Listen, I say unfortunately, because based off what I read allegedly,

I don't know. It's a very toxic environment. And the two, George and Sarah just seemed to be struggling with alcohol. They were fighting all the time and both of them were having a hard time holding down a job. So for a kid, I just, you know, that's why I'm like, no, that sucks. You get it. Now, between all the fighting and whatnot, in the drinking and all that stuff, you would just hope that they would, you know, just end things. But they couldn't and they didn't. They clung on to each other, just like feeding off of their toxicity. cycling through fights, breakups, makeups, all that, you know, allegedly, based off of police records. Now, up until the night of the crime, the two continue to live in the apartment together, along with Sarah's two Boston Terriers. Now, let's flash forward to February 23rd, 2020. Sarah, she's 42 at this point, and George, who is also 42, they were hanging out together at their apartment in winter park, Florida. According to Sarah, it was a good day. She and George, you know, when they woke up, they cleaned the apartment. They did some like sweeping, mopping, laundry, dishes, blah, blah, blah. Because the next day, Sarah's son was coming. She had custody of him the next day. According to Sarah,

at some time around noon, the two of them went to Publix to buy a bottle of wine. Now, apparently, it was a magnum wine. I know, which I learned about because I was like, what's that? I thought that was a condom and it's not well it is but like magnum wine is a wine you guys are crazy you winos the magum is a wine bottle that contains the equivalent of two standard bottles of wine so it holds 1.5 liters of wine which is a lot and it's a lot because sarah and george they were both pretty petite they were like 5 foot two five foot three and around 100 pounds at the time both of them George was like 110 barely. Sarah was like 100 and something.

So they're petite and that's a lot of wine. So once they got back to the apartment, they started drinking the wine. They're hanging outside on the porch. They're playing darts and just talking. And then in the afternoon, Sarah said that George went to Publix for like a second trip because they had run out of wine and he went to go pick up more wine. He returned with another one of those jumbo wines. So they continued drinking.

And Sarah said that, you know, this time around they were painting, listening to music, and dancing with their dogs in the apartment. So not long after, I guess they had finished that second jumbo thing of wine. So they're pretty lit. Sarah said that she was trying to entertain George. Like he seemed bored and like keep him in a good mood. And she said, eventually they ran out of. things to do. So they decided to play good old fashion hard and seek. Who doesn't like playing hot and seek, huh? According to Sarah, she's like, okay, yeah. So then we were playing hide and

seek. And she said she went up upstairs and she hid in the shower. And she was up there waiting for George to come and find her. And she was getting kind of irritated because like he wasn't finding her. So she went back downstairs and she saw that George was just like sitting there on the couch, not looking for her. She's like, this is not fun. So Sarah's back downstairs and I guess they're still on the topic of hide and seek. So according to Sarah, she said that she thought it would be funny if George got into the suitcase that they had lying around and like zipped him in it. She's like, wouldn't that be hilarious? Oh my God. That's what she said. That's what she said. said they said she said they said wouldn't that be hilarious the suitcase that just happened to be

lying around in the living room was described as like a large hard shell suitcase it was around 26 inches in size and was definitely large enough to like fit a person inside according to sarah george he was like oh yeah that's so funny so he got into the suitcase and then he zipped it up. Sarah said that George willingly climbed in, stuck himself in that suitcase, giggling like a little kid. And then Sarah said she got up and she like she zipped the suitcase close. But she's like I left a gap in the zipper like so it wasn't closed all the way and he could still stick two fingers out. So like he's not really like stuck in there. Sarah said after she zipped him up in the suitcase, she assumed that George could get out whenever he wanted

because his fingers were sticking out and it wasn't closed all the way. So according to her, she was just sitting there laughing, ha ha, ha. And then around 12 a.m., she, Sarah, got sleepy as one does and decided to go upstairs and go to bed. The thing is, she left George in the suitcase downstairs in the living room. You know, I spend a lot of hours reading about people getting life insurance policies taken out on them, sometimes right before things get messy. But I've never really thought about my own life insurance. It's the thing us adults should do.

So I started looking into it. It's a good idea. But where do you start? You know, there are a ton of options out there. So thankfully, there's select quote. For over 40 years, select quote, has helped more than 2 million Americans secure over $700 billion in coverage.

That's select quote.com slash makeup. The next morning, it's about 11 a.m. Sarah wakes up. She realizes she's alone. Where's short, you know?

So she said she had this moment where she's like, oh, he must still be downstairs or something. Like maybe he's still in the suitcase. So she goes downstairs. She sees that the suitcase is still there and it's he didn't seem to get out. So she unzips it and she saw that George was purplish and not breathing. Now, weird part, instead of calling the police, Sarah first called her ex-husband. Yeah. Now, some reports said that he came over to the house, and I think he did. But, like, I couldn't figure out their relationship. I don't really think, whatever. She calls her ex-boy, her ex-husband.

Now, he ends up telling her to call 911. So the paramedics arrived, and they got there within, like, six minutes of the phone call. But even, it was too late. Like, by the time they got there, George was officially declared dead. So when police arrived to the scene, Sarah was like, oh, my God, I thought he could get out. We were playing hiding and seek. He, he, he. You know, she told him that whole story.

And we have the body cam footage from when they showed up to Sarah's place. I watched, like, all of her, the court nonsense and everything. But I didn't see the body cam footage. So let's watch it really quick. We've been doing some artwork together, having a good time with one another. But we're drinking, we had a bottle of wine last night. Okay. So then it's like, we decided to play hide and see, right?

Okay. So he gets in the suitcase. I fell asleep. When did he do CPR? This morning, when I found it. Before you called. Yes. So I came downstairs.

And I was like, oh, he's in the suitcase still. So you were playing and you whipped him up in. I did. But then I fell asleep. Okay, okay. Stop. You're okay. I don't I wasn't here I'm just trying to figure out what happened please may I have my Dr. Pepper I am so cut my mouth right now

You're somebody else on that call a break and it's on the counter I can't move anything from out of the house For a 20 Bravo but I need right But um can I have a cigarette please ma'am. Can I have a cigarette please ma'am I can't take anything out of the house? It's on the back porch Nope you guys tell his family like today or after tomorrow He has to. They're going to think I kill him. Because I'm the blue-eyed white dragon. That's what they call me.

It makes sense. It makes sense. I came across this, when I was doing research for this story, they mentioned a blue-eyed white dragon. That's what Sarah was saying that the family had called her. But I couldn't find the source. like where that came from and that's where it comes from like in that uh body cam footage bailey that's why you should watch it but yeah i guess that's a uh forgive me for my ignorance here

is it digimon is digimon the blue-eyed dragon guy is that what she's referencing it doesn't matter the point is as you can tell from the body cam footage sarah is very animated she's very like and uh it's just like she's uh okay you know i need a dr pepper and you're like yeah I don't, okay, I think someone's dead, ma'am. I don't think you need a Dr. Pepper right now. Dr. Pepper is good, but like, someone's dead. That was a police cam footage of when they arrived to the scene. As you could tell, she's very, um,

so police then ask if Sarah's okay with them going through her phone, you know, to verify, like, the timeline that she had given, whatever. It shouldn't be a big deal. You guys are playing hide and seek, whatever, right? but listen what they found was damning okay damning i couldn't think of another word besides damning so police they go through her phone they found two haunting videos they were recorded like 11 minutes apart on sarah's cell phone the night of the situation so the first video was taken at 10.20 p.m. on the night of February 23rd. So this video showed what seemed to be the living room. Okay. And in the frame

is the zipped suitcase lying face down on their dirty ass carpet. I was like, oh, maybe you get a carpet cleaner. But that's not the point. As the video goes on, it's heartbreaking because you can hear George from the inside of the suitcase calling out over and over again. He's like, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. Like, it's just like, like, it's just like, It's just eerie. It's quiet. She's filming. A couple of times he says, I can't breathe. I can't breathe. She's recording the whole thing. And then you can hear her laugh. She's laughing. Then she starts to taunt him. Mind you, again, this is all on camera. She's freaking filming it. She's like, oh, that's what you do and he choke me. That's on you. Mind you. There's a lot of drinking involved. So like her words are all slurred. She's like, that's on you for chugging me. I say, yeah, messy. Okay, so she's taunting him. Sarah taunted George every time he called out to her.

This is the first video. Then there's another video. Now, it looks like the suitcase moved because now the suitcase is lying face up, still zipped, and it still has George inside. And he's still calling out to her. But this time on the second video, it's like his calls were a little bit, weaker. He's like, Sarah, I can't breathe. He's still saying Sarah, I can't breathe. And she's laughing. He keeps saying it over and over and over again. I can't breathe. It's really sad. It's really sad. And her being drunk, because again, she's filming and she's slashed. She's like,

that's what it's like when he cheat on me. I don't tell me. And that she has this evil laugh. Then she finishes the recording with the fuck you. And you're like, well, that doesn't look good, girl. So it appears to investigators that this was no hide-and-seek situation or an accident. This seemed to be straight up torture. So what the hell, girl? You know, how could a simple game of hide-and-seek go so wrong? Sarah forgot how, like, first of all, how technology works, okay?

stupid ass so she is being questioned by investigators and they show Sarah the videos that they found on her phone my favorite I like to watch interrogation videos and especially when they have like the evidence right they're like oh so um it was you just went to bed like not a big deal and then they pull up the phone and they're like oh interesting because right here on the phone that you recorded on your phone that you recorded it says otherwise I like love watching those, you know? And then they're just like, they don't know what to say. Same with her. They pull up the video. They show it to her on the computer, whatever. And she stops them halfway through. And she's like, look, I don't remember taking those videos. She

pretty much tells them, like, it doesn't look good. It's a bad look. The video is a bad look. She's telling investigators, it felt like it was just an accident. They were playing hide and seek. She thought he could get out. Like it, she didn't kill him. You know, really wasn't making sense to investigators. And then they showed her this footage. And that's when she gets very very defensive as most people do when they're, you know, being caught for murder. So I watched the interrogation footage, and of course, she has, once again, some interesting one-liners, this woman. I have not touched him. How would you get those injuries?

Tell me and we'll both know. Were you guys drinking and it got out of hand and it got physical? No. Or is it? No, I was not drunk. I mean, I've always been a straight-day student. I am an outstanding mother to my son. I excel at everything.

Any photos, videos that you remember doing on your... Okay, it's not funny. I'm not laughing at her. Well, I kind of am. Because during interrogation, you know, she's like, I don't think you know who I am. I'm a straight-A student. I excel at everything I do.

I'm an outstanding mother to my son. I would not do that, blah, blah. And it's like, girl, first of all, you're in your 40s, you're not in school anymore, so it doesn't really matter if you're a straight-A student. sorry. I mean, maybe she's in college, but she's not. She's an outstanding mother to her son. I don't want to judge, I think, but I don't know. I mean, okay, I won't take that from her, I guess. I don't know what she's getting at, really. You know what's funny is like during these interrogation videos, it's like, I'm a straight-A student, whatever. It's like, oh, then tarangainers would be like, oh, my bad, you're a straight-A student? I didn't know. Okay, you could go home. You didn't do it. We got the wrong guy. My bad. So I have something that I want to show you that we found.

Um, and it was from your phone. You guys are scaring me. Is it long? Because I don't know how much I can take. Do I have to watch this? You can either explain it or we take it for what it is. For everything you've done to me. For everything you've done to me.

Oh. Fuck you. Oh. Fuck you. That's you. I'm stupid That's my name Don't learn up

My plane was not to go upstairs and go to sleep Well, that's what you did But not intentional love Why is he saying I can't breathe And why is he pushing on it as if he can't get out I don't know what you're I love that she says like it wasn't intentional though Okay again

Oh, okay you could go home ma'am Sorry Street-A student and it wasn't intentional? Okay, you win. It's not malicious. Well, saying fuck you. It's not malicious. Nowhere in there is he laughing, if he joking.

He is begging. You remember making that video? Oh. Why don't you remember making the video? Probably because we had been drinking. But you weren't drunk. I would not do that to him nor anyone else. But you did.

Not intentional. You guys are killing me, And I will tell you both this right now too, I will never drink alcohol again. You got up off the couch, walked up a flight of stairs, and got in your bed. Thinking he was going to get out. And he didn't. I get it. Look, I get it.

That looks really bad. That was really bad. It's not funny. It's just her response, man. This has been my struggle with her, is like her reasoning. for everything it's like everyone else's fault except for hers so you're not free to go why is this happening because george is dead not intentionally not intentionally so she didn't do it intentionally is her defense okay all right i didn't intentionally

mean to eat a whole freaking Domino's pizza by myself, but sometimes we do things. And you have to take responsibility for it, you know? Fair comparison, I think. She's denying, deny, denying, right? Well, meanwhile, George's body was taken for an autopsy.

Now, there, it was determined that it was like so much more than just being locked in a freaking suitcase. There was something else going on because he had nail scratches on his mid-upper back. He had a large nail scratch on the back of his neck. He had bruises on his left shoulder and his left skull. George also had

bruises on his forehead that were consistent with like blunt force trauma. And on top of that, his lip was like busted open. So what? How did that happen if you're just playing hide and see? Like none of it is just making sense. Once investigators had the medical examiner's report, uh, you know, It just really destroyed Sarah's version of that night. Not that she even had a strong one, but, yeah. I mean, George just didn't die from, like, being inside the suitcase. He had blunt force trauma to his skull. He had cuts and bruises on his body.

And he had injuries consistent with someone, like, fighting for their life. So, you know, when Sarah was confronted with all of this and, like, she couldn't run away from it anymore, then her tune changed, well, she changed her tune. that's the phrasing right she changed her tune and she said it was the alcohol's fault she said you know we were drinking a lot I wasn't thinking clearly babe babe you filmed it though yeah sorry girl you're not getting out of it well on February 25th 2020 Sarah was arrested for second degree murder and this my friends is where Sarah's case turned into an absolute circus because you'd think it'd be just like open and shut like the suitcase but it's not it's like there's so many layers this freaking story oh my gosh

Sarah ended up going through nine attorneys before trial. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. One only lasted like 16 days before he, like, yeeded himself out of there. Yeat.

Did I use that correctly? Yeeted, yeetting, yeet. He yeeded himself out of there. So let me give you kind of a simple rundown of what happened. So in the beginning, the court did likely determine that Sarah was indignant. I know. I was like, what does that mean? Ooh, it sounds mean.

It sounds like a dis. They were like she's indignant. And I was like, ooh, mean. But when the court determines that you're indignant, it means that like she, in her case, was lacking the financial resources to hire private legal counsel. So when you are determined indignant, it means you qualify for a court appointed attorney. Her first court appointed attorney was a woman, Letitia, I think was her name. But Sarah wanted to go in a different direction.

So she hired a bigwig lawyer, Maricio Padilla. Side note, when the court determines that you are indignant, indignant defendants may have certain court costs, filing fees, and other legal expenses waived or reduced. Plus, other things. So that's how she was able to get this next guy, this big wig lawyer guy, Maricio. Now this Maricio guy, he defended some high profile. murder cases. For example, one of them was Dedrick Williams. He was the guy accused of killing rapper X X, X, Tanishion. Is that how you say it? He killed him in 2018. I apologize if I'm butchering everyone's name. So I guess Sarah was a fan. So she's like, I want that guy.

But she didn't do great research because Maricio, the guy, he didn't win that case. Dedrick was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. But Sarah was like, I want that guy. I want that guy. And she got him. So after hiring this new lawyer, Sarah pleaded not guilty and requested to have a jury trial. Now, the trial was originally set for July 27, 2020. But like clockwork when it comes to her, things started to just go off the rails. Sarah's defense had asked for more time. So the trial ended up getting pushed back to November. Then came another delay, another one, another, another, another, Another. Next thing you know, Sarah's trial had been pushed back nearly two years. Then, out of nowhere, okay, Mauricio, the big shot lawyer, he filed a motion to withdraw from the case. Yes. Maricio was like, I can't take this anymore. Maricio cited irreconcilable differences. Later, he said that the two were just arguing nonstop. So this guy was like, I'm out. Okay? So, lawyer gone. Dara decided she was a little irritated.

So she wrote a letter to the judge or to the courts. Really, to anyone who would listen, she got pen to paper and she wrote aggressively. And in these letters, she claimed she had been left in the dark about everything. She was getting no updates. She said that Mauricio had betrayed her and that she had no clue why he just upped and left her, leaving her just in the dark, completely blindsided. just so the court appointed her another public defender okay this lawyer had lasted less than a month before withdrawing because plot twist they actually represented George in Sarah and George's

2018 domestic violence case so it was a conflict of interest and this guy was like I'm out next I thought Florida was big but like she just kept run into issues. So the court assigned her another lawyer who turned out had represented one of the key witnesses in another one of Sarah's cases. I didn't want to go too much into detail about this case because remember in the beginning when I mentioned like she was needed a place to live because she had like a legal battle going on. It was this. It had to do with like, I think she was being a squatter or something. I don't know. I didn't check too much into it. Anyways, so this person was like, I can't, I can't do it. Then came lawyer number five, Mark Consolo. And just two weeks

after filing Sarah's plea, Mark quit. Yeah. According to court documents, Sarah wanted all of all of their time calling up to 10 times a day. There were disagreements on like the legal strategy, what they can and cannot do in court. There was a lack of, resources. This is all according to this lawyer, Grime. He said that she was being unreasonable. She took non-viable legal positions. I was like, what does that mean? So I looked it up. Taking non-viable legal positions means making arguments or pursuing legal strategies that have little to no chance

of success due to lack of legal merit, factual support, or precedent. That's a definition. Thank you. Okay, so Sarah's in jail. She's waiting, right? So she's getting mad because, like, these lawyers, these court-appointed attorneys and all that stuff, like, they are just not giving her all the attention she wanted. You see, what was really happening was, like, when all this was going down, a lot of the news, the media picked up the story and were putting out these wild stories about Sarah about what happened, right? And everyone was talking about it at this time. Sarah at the time was in jail waiting for something to happen and she was seeing all these media reports happening and she was upset that the courts weren't moving as fast as like media was. She really badly wanted to like get it out there that she was innocent and like people needed to hear her side of the story because like in her mind she had a strong side of her story. She was just getting irritated with that is what I was researching.

She didn't realize that the court system is very, very slow and it was not. going to move as fast as a YouTube video. You know? So she gets this new attorney guy and she's getting really, really upset because she's not, she's like, I'm barely hearing from this guy, this guy, Frank. So she was sending letters to Sarah. She's sending letters to Frank, the attorney guy. She's sending letters to the judge and the courts asking like, what is going on? I haven't heard from my lawyer in 11 weeks, you know, what's going on with my case. She wrote how many more pens will I exhaust asking. She loved writing a letter. She kept writing and writing and writing. So she's writing and writing and writing. She even threatened in the letter that she was going to call the

governor. Like she was making these threats that just, there was so many letters. I read so many letters. She has great hand writing, mind you. Very millennial, bubbly. But she's just, she's coming on for a little crazy girl. Girl, this isn't looking good for your case. She wouldn't stop. She was convinced her constitutional rights were being violated. I know, I was like, what rights, girl? Because you kind of murdered someone, and then, like, you filmed it. So, like, what? And I couldn't, you can't find a clear answer from her.

But, okay. So she's writing all these letters. She's not getting anywhere. So then she starts directing letters straight to the press, to the media. She's hoping that they'll expose the, quote, unquote, incompetence of her legal team. She ended one of these letters with, quote, please do not discredit my truth. I am who, not what, respectful, and diligent, Sarah Boone. Like, girl, what are you even talking about?

Like, what are you even talking about? What are you even talking about? If only she cared this much about, like, her son and stuff, huh? So Sarah's not getting anywhere, even with all these letters, and she's just getting more and more frustrating. So, you know what she does? You'll never guess what she does. She hires a private investigator. And I was like, okay, well, maybe she wants this private investigator to, like, help her with her case because she's not getting it from her attorney or whatever.

No, that is not why she wanted a private, but she hired a private investigator to track down her lawyer. Yeah, not like to help her with finding justice and proving her innocence or anything like that. No, no, no, no, to find her lawyer. That was the last straw for lawyer number six was the whole private investigator situation. So this guy, Frank, he filed a motion to withdraw. And in it he said, this woman will never be happy with a lawyer unless that lawyer has no other cases. The judge at this point finally had enough. Okay.

Mind you, this was like months and months of back and forth. I'm giving you the very condensed version. But the judge was like, look, enough is enough. He ruled that Sarah had forfeited her right to counsel. So it was like, hey, no more lawyers for you, nay, nay. And she would have to represent herself. To be fair, the court told Sarah multiple times, you do not want to represent yourself, okay?

They're like, you need to find a lawyer. You need to stick with it because you do not want to represent yourself. And they told her this numerous times. They're like, it's not easy. You don't want this. But she's Sarah Boone and she was on one, you know? She was on her Sarah Boone high. So after she fires this last guy, the judge is like, look, you're just, you're on your own.

Fine. You're going to get what you want. You do it. So she takes a shot. She's going to try and represent herself and she realizes as time is going on, it's actually a lot harder than she thought. And like, and that kind of says a lot. Well, not really.

But yeah, it kind of does because she had all the time in the world to sit around in like research court lingoes and how to represent yourself. Not that she should have, but it's like, what else is she doing? You know, she's not busy is what I'm getting at. So yeah, girl, represent yourself. Take a shot. See how it goes. Well, she tries to, but she realizes, again, like, how hard it is.

So she goes back to the court and she begs the judge on her case to get another lawyer. And the judge is like, hell, like I literally told you it was a hard. Like, no. No. No. And I love that someone said no to her. Well, Sarah was not happy with this. She felt like she was being treated unfairly. So she decided to take matters into her own hands as if that's not what she was doing. But she decided to try a new tactic. How about that? She created a flyer advertising for a lawyer to take on her case. And I was like, this has got to be fake. So I looked it up. Not fake. The flyer read epic up. Opportunity awaits. Again, she's got that bubbly, millennial, chaotic writing. The flyer's a little busy. It's a lot, but good for her. She put in the work.

So she puts this flyer out there. And guess what? It worked. God, I know. Girl, you killed someone. Just own up to it, girl. You know, own up to it. She got a lawyer named James Owens.

And he sees the flyer, and he's like, oh, my God, this is my calling. So he steps up, and he turns out to be Sarah's. 9th attorney. Well, 10th, if you count Sarah herself, but whatever. By this point, it had been five years since her arrest, and the judge was over the delays. Her trial was set for October 7th, 2024, and there was no pushing back. This was it. They were not taking her shit anymore. So the trial was set, but then it was briefly delayed. Not because of Sarah this time, but because of Hurricane Milton. So it's hurricanes rolling in. And again, this case is, been going on so long and at the end of the day it's pretty open and shut like girl you don't have a chance

like right right so the prosecution had came to sarah and they offered her a plea deal and i was like oh what so with this plea deal it would reduce her potential sentence to 15 years if she pleaded guilty to manslaughter now this was probably her best bet okay like a plea deal babe take it run Not that I want her to, but you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, take it. You did it, okay? But Sarah, she's unique. You know, she rejected the plea deal.

Insane move. Insane move that I was like, what? Trust me, she was heavily advised to take the plea deal, but she's on one. I don't know. Well, her trial started towards the end of October. So her attorney, the guy who responded to her flyer, wins the Lifetime movie is what I'm wondering, huh? But her attorney, the flyer guy, he actually called forward like several witnesses, including psychologists.

Now, the psychologist were going to lay the groundwork for battered woman syndrome, which was going to be Sarah's defense. Now let me give you a rundown of what battered woman syndrome is. because, yeah, it's important. Okay, great, really. Some days I just can think clearly and then some days I can't. Today I'm like, ah, cerebral, ah. So battered woman syndrome or BWS is a psychological condition

that can be used as a legal defense in cases where a woman accused of a crime, usually against her abuser, has suffered prolonged domestic violence. So example. Suppose a battered woman kills or harms her abuser. In that case, battered woman syndrome can support the argument that she reasonably believed she was in imminent danger,

even if the threat wasn't immediate at that moment. Got it? So during her initial interrogation, Sarah described George as abusive. She told the police that she had documented his violent behavior with photos and videos of her injuries. She mentioned how she kicked him out multiple times, but always took him back. And to be fair, if they looked up the court records, not court records, the police records, they would see like they had been out to her house for domestic violence calls and all that stuff. So, yeah, there's some, there's, yes.

Okay, you know, so that's what she initially said. said in the interrogation. But then I watched the court trial, and this is where I personally was confused. I'm laughing because I'm uncomfortable. In court, Sarah took the stand and portrayed their relationship as loving, but complicated. She said that she was helping him get his life together. She was even considering marrying him. During the questioning, she focused, like, whenever she was asked like about a timeline or anything like she would focus more on george's struggles like with alcohol and him not being able to hold down a job and it was like okay girl but why did you put him in the suitcase you know like sarah said that evening again they ran out of

things to do which led to hide and seek but on the stand she never gave a clear explanation for how george ended up in the suitcase she maintained that It was a joke gone wrong, and that was really it. Like, that was it. She never gave a clear understanding, like, what happened that night at all. I also just want to make it clear just in case. We're all adults here, but I believe her that, like, she said that he was aggressive towards her and stuff. But if he watched her in court and whatnot, it's like both sides were very, they were both.

very toxic to each other. There was this one video that they played in court, which was, like, freaking awful, because of course they showed the videos that she took the night of his death. But then they showed other videos that they found on her phone. And they were awful. There was one video specifically where he's, George is obviously, like, drunk or something. And she is filming him on her phone, and she's just yelling at him, like, what a piece of shit he is. What a loser he is.

he needs to get out of her house. And I think she was filming because she thought, like, I'm going to show this to the cops and, like, make you look bad. But really made her look bad because she was so mean to him, just verbally abusive towards him in this one little video. I say it like that because, like, we don't really know behind the scenes what was going on. But she was mean. She was a very mean, toxic, verbally abusive towards him based off of the things I saw.

Or they showed in court. I don't know. Because like one of the big things with the Sarah Boone case is like, was she abused? And if she was abused, then I don't know. It just adds like a different layer to the story, right? That's what does get complicated. You just don't want to just sound like I'm coming off as like, I don't believe women. Fuck, you know.

I'm not coming off like that. Okay. Anyway, so it was clear that they did not have a good relationship and that she was very, very toxic to him. That is what was very clear. So in court, they asked her on the stand, like, so how, how? did he get all of his injuries? Because remember, he had scratches. He had head trauma. Like, what, what, how did he get all that? First, she blamed saying it was from rough sex, okay? And then on the stand, she just really gave some kind of word salad answer. She said a lot of words, no meaning,

just a lot of words in a sentence. So again, she kind of pivoted towards his drinking habits and how he struggled emotionally. And then Sarah acknowledged, that she did indeed record the videos on her phone but I mean she like downplayed the whole thing right again over and over again it was just a joke like I never intentionally meant to do like kill him or anything like that she was just saying words words in hopes that something made sense and would click for like a jury member I don't know I don't know what her goal was why she had to prolong this so long she came with like no solid evidence to prove much of anything other than she did it Like, you would think, I thought, with all this extra time, like, she would build a strong case,

gather all the evidence. Like, she said that she had tons of photos and videos of, you know, the relationship with George and how he was abusive towards her. And she just didn't come with, like, the evidence. There you go. She did, but, like, she didn't. It was a mess. It was a mess.

So the prosecution presented 14 witnesses. With the most damning piece of evidence, the friggin video footage of George trapped inside the suitcase. I mean, to the jury, it was clear. It was very clear what they were looking at. George was zipped in a suitcase and like Sarah was there recording it. It made it really hard to argue that Sarah was acting out in self-defense. It was clear that this was not the case. also throughout the video her taunting him while he was suffocating showed to the jury malicious intent

I should say to the prosecution not the jury yet so remember how George had like um the head trauma and the scratches and all that stuff there was never really a clear answer where that came from his scratches his marks and all that stuff but the prosecution they threw out a theory as to what they believed happened they believed that Sarah had took a baseball bat that she had you know, in the house. And while he was trapped inside of the suitcase, she was hitting him in the suitcase. There's no visual proof of this bat being used, but they were basing this off of the audio evidence because you know how she was recording the videos and whatnot. So there was that like 11 minute gap in between the two videos. They believe in that 11 minute gap. She flipped over

the suitcase. She grabbed a bat. She like shoved the bat into the suitcase. remember how he could stick two fingers out? They believe she shoved the bat in there and was like attacking him with it and then she went back and she filmed the second video. That was their theory. Again, no visual proof, no

no like no proof that the bat was used but they believe that's what she did. And she never gave a clear answer other than we had rough sex. It was like, okay girl. So the prosecution argued that Sarah's videos

showed cruelty and I think it's very clear and that being drunk is not a defense for murder. Sorry. They claimed that Sarah was not acting in self-defense instead she was angry and vindictive, which I think we can all agree on. So when the trial was all done, you know, the jury went back. They only delivered for like less than two hours. And when they came back, Sarah Boone was found guilty. of second degree murder.

She's lucky she got second degree, huh? So the sentencing, finally, the sentencing. George's family had waited forever for this. I mean, can you imagine laying this psycho queen just completely dismiss killing your family member and her just being fucking wild and then dragging his name saying that he was abusing her and trying to make him look crazy

when she was just, as crazy. So after her sentencing hearing, George's mother, poor thing, she cried in the courtroom and bless her soul because she said that she did not hate Sarah. She didn't hate her. Yeah, it was sweet. It was just about like forgiveness. But, you know, she's really sad and her son died. But George's sister, she got up there and go for her. She told the court that Sarah deserved to rot in prison, period. She didn't not hold back. A prison chaplain. spoke on Sarah's behalf, saying that she had become very spiritual since she was in jail. Her cellmate, even called Sarah her best friend.

But none of those things could change the judge's decision. So the judge determined that Sarah Boone would be sentenced to life in prison. Should it took that 15 years, huh girl? Yeah, stupid ass. Not that she should have, but she's an idiot. I'm tired of her. I'm so tired of her. So tired of her.

so tired of her but there's more because after the verdict um sarah made a statement of course she did so she made a statement saying that she forgave the torres family for turning a blind eye to her abuse then she asked the entire planet for forgiveness she's like you know therefore it counts because i asked and you'd think that'd be the end of sarah no no no no no no no no no no she got back to her pen and paper and started writing letters again. You know, after she was sentenced, she sent the judge a 28-page letter. This was recently. I read this and I was like, why am I reading this?

I don't know. Why am I here? How did I get here? In this letter, she criticized the judge calling him ignorant. Then in a twist, she said that she actually forgave him the judge. She also wrote that she was excited about her appeal and then ended the letter with the Bible verse. Yeah. She also quoted Cicero, I believe. Her lawyer, James Owen, Owens, filed a motion outlining all the alleged misconduct in her case to set up an appeal. As of right

now, the time of me recording this, no appeal has actually been filed. Just her sending letters. So yes, that is Sarah Boone. God, she's exhausting. She had an answer for everything except for like what she did. Do you know what I think? She just could not take responsibility for any of her actions. And that's concerning. I was thinking because I watched all the footage of her and stuff and like she's just so out there and so off her rocker, man, it's just, she's stressful. At the end of the day, she killed someone. Okay, period. They were in a toxic, alcohol-filled, abusive relationship, the two of them. There were other videos of Sarah haunting George. Again, it was awful. So here's what I was thinking.

I was like, look, I think she purposely left him in the suitcase that night to, quote, unquote, teach him a lesson. This is my thought. In her sick mind, leaving him there all night in the luggage zipped up was payback. And she even said this in the videos. She said in the videos that she's recording, like, this is what you get. This is what you got. She just telling everyone why she did it. Because people kept asking why, why, why, why?

she told you why she told you why in the videos i think she locked him in there obviously they're drunk and like out of their minds but she locked him in the little suitcase thing and i think she walked her butt upstairs went to bed not realizing he was going to die because in her mind she left a hole open in the suitcase so he could stick two fingers out so in her mind she's like That means he can breathe. He's fine. Yeah, I mean, just based off of all the interviews and stuff, I watched 100% in my mind, that makes sense. That's exactly what she was thinking. And it's like, why a suitcase and all that? Because this is Florida. Do you know trash? I know trashy people. I live next to Hemet. And if you're from Southern California, Southern California, Deep Cut. Anyways, but I've seen people like this who are just like, stupid drunk. Like it doesn't make sense, but she's a bitch. She's a bitch. I'm sorry. You need to be locked up, girl. I don't even know why I'm saying sorry. One thing too that stuck out to me that I didn't really know like if it was anything, but whatever. She kept claiming over and over again during the

interrogation that, you know, she was so drunk. She couldn't remember anything. And then she would give these super detailed descriptions about what the luggage looked like specifically. Like she remembered that the luggage had broken pieces to it. She remembered that like on the luggage, the zipper itself was broken. So she had to put like a paper clip in the zipper because it was broken so she could close it. But she couldn't remember anything else. And I was like, oh, that's girl. At the end of the day, she's a very toxic person. And she killed someone, you know. I skim some of the letters that she sent out there. A lot of them, again, her specialty word salad. to the max. She says a bunch of words, a whole lot of nothing. She quotes Cicero in the letter.

She quotes the Bible. You name it. She quotes them. But the last letter that she wrote was all about forgiveness. So in this letter, she wrote out detailed descriptions about all the people that she forgave, all of the people that had done her wrong, listing them out one by one. She's like, the judge, I forgive you, forgive me life. The media. I forgive you for making me the bad person. George's family, I forgive you for not knowing that he was abusing me. She goes on and on and on, on. But the one person she forgot to forgive, herself.

She didn't once acknowledge anything about herself. Before she can get to the point of forgiving herself, she needs to acknowledge and accept her actions. She did wrong, you know? She points a finger at everybody else, everyone else's fault she should have taken the plea deal she's an idiot i feel bad for her kid i feel bad for george's family it's all around just a shit show and that my friends is sarah boone thank god that she got arrested and caught and all that stuff because who knows what she would have been up to i mean

i think eventually she would have she did she did well one thing i know for sure one thing we know for sure, is that Sarah Boone will be spending the rest of her life behind bars. If there's anything you should learn, don't get into luggage. Don't get into luggage. It's not funny and you can die. Honestly, because, like, I know this might be stupid. Sorry, I didn't know you could die if you, like, were hiding in luggage like that. I know that sounds stupid, but I was really learning, looking into this because he died from, like, suffocation and whatnot.

And he also had the head trauma. And I was like, how do you, like, how, though, if he had a whole, how? how well there's different types of asphyxiation which i was learning about and um like for him there's a type like if you're squished in a certain position uh it can slow your breathing and then you're not going to get any air and you kind of like slowly die and that's what happened to him it was like how he was kind of like in there like a a baby in a way and it was like not allowing his lungs to expand so he could breathe in there and that's how he does So if there's anything you learn about this story, it's like don't hide in like luggage or

think it's funny because I could see people doing this for some reason. No? Okay, I don't know. So don't do that. Also, don't murder people. I think that is definitely the moral of the story here, Bailey. Anyways, I always struggle at the end because I don't know. Now what, you know?

Now what? Write her a letter? No. Maybe. I'll write her a letter and be like, fuck you, bitch. You're trash. I hope you have a good rest of your day. You make good choices.

Be safe out there. Don't be dumb. Don't be drinking those huge ass bottles of wine. I know. I know. I'm no fun. But like, come on, you don't need that. And yeah, other than that, have a good day.

Make good choices. And I'm going to see you guys next time. Yeah? This time next time? I'm going to see you there. Okay. Bye, guys. Have a good day.

Make good choices. Bye. Thank you. You know, I'm sorry. Thank you.
