Sarah Boone trial update: Jurors see text messages and interrogation video

Jurors in Sarah Boone’s trial saw photos of Jorge Torres’ body, text messages allegedly sent by Sarah Boone and the hours-long interrogation video shortly after Torres was found dead in the suitcase. Here’s the latest on the trial.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The “suitcase murder” trial lasted late into the evening, with jurors considering key evidence in the case of Sarah Boone, whose boyfriend was found dead in a suitcase.

In court, jurors watched videos of Boone being questioned by investigators after Jorge Torres’ body was discovered in 2020. They also saw footage Boone filmed on her phone.

The state produced an audio recording of Boone’s interrogation in which she claimed that Torres’ death occurred during a drunken game of hide-and-seek. A homicide detective who interviewed Boone in 2020 testified, and an edited version of the interview was played in court.

The trial continues on Tuesday.
