Sarah Boone trial: recordings, background & chat

Case background

Jorge Torres Jr. died in February 2020 after being zipped inside a suitcase at the Winter Park home he shared with Sarah Boone. Phone videos became central evidence in the case. At trial, Boone testified about abuse and argued self-defense; the jury found her guilty of second-degree murder on October 25, 2024.

More background & key dates

Boone was sentenced to life in prison on December 2, 2024. This collection contains Court TV’s six trial-day recordings, a separate Law&Crime Trials verdict clip and Court TV’s sentencing coverage. The archived Day 6 livestream ends before the verdict, so the verdict clip follows it explicitly. This collection does not claim to preserve every minute of the proceedings.
