Sarah Boone trial: Jury selected in Winter Park suitcase murder trial
SUMMARY: In the Sarah Boon suitcase murder trial, a jury has been selected after four days of proceedings. The case revolves around Boon, accused of zipping her boyfriend, George Torres, in a suitcase and leaving him to die during a drunken game. The prosecution argues she cannot claim self-defense as no immediate threat was present after she had already confined him. The defense intends to use the battered spouse syndrome, citing prior abuse Torres inflicted on Boon. Opening statements are set to begin tomorrow. In a lighter note, Boon’s request for courtroom snacks was denied.
