Suitcase Murder Trial

Closing arguments by the State continued. Prosecutor Dave Cacciatore argued that she had no justification of ending Jorge Torres life using a small suitcase despite the mental health issues she was dealing with. Next, was Sarah Boone's defense to give their closing arguments to jurors. They wanted to button up their case that the defendant was simply a battered woman who defended herself from her abusive boyfriend that day he died in a suitcase.

Defense attorney James Owens claimed Sarah Boone's mind at the time of Jorge Torres' death was that of a psychologically abused victim and not a person who wanted to kill a person. Fear and trauma was what led her to zip up the suitcase with her abuser stuck inside and why she refused to open the suitcase back up. Owens contended that years of trauma and abuse at the hands of her boyfriend led her to fighting back in zipping him up in a suitcase and leaving him in there for hours until he died.

During closing arguments Sarah Boone's lead attorney tried to sew doubt in the minds of jurors as to her role in her boyfriend, Jorge Torre's death. James Owens did this by re-introducing photographic and video evidence of the times Torres was physically abusive to Boone. Owens painted Jorge Torres as the traumatizing abuser who's actions led to his death. Next, the State's turn to give their final appeal to the jury in their rebuttal on why Boone was guilty of second-degree murder.
