A Florida lady who is charged with abandoning her boyfriend to die after packing him up in a suitcase is looking for a new lawyer once more. To attract the interest of potential lawyers, she is employing a novel strategy.
When Sarah Boone, the accused murderer, killed her partner Jorge Torres in 2020 by smothering him in a suitcase and recording his excruciating death and waning cries for his release, the story went viral across the country.
At their Winter Park, Florida home, the couple was enjoying some alcohol and engaging in a game of hide-and-seek when they decided it would be amusing for Torres to enter the suitcase.
According to the police report, Boone claimed that after falling asleep, she would wake up the next morning searching for Torres and recalling the antics of the night before, believing Torres might escape on his own.
After opening the suitcase, Boone discovered Torres was not responding.
According to the arrest report, recordings that officers discovered on Boone’s cell phone showed Torres screaming that he was having trouble breathing inside the bag and shouting out Boone’s name. This led to Boone being charged with murder.
“Sarah… Sarah… On the mobile phone footage, Torres can be heard saying, “I can’t breathe baby, seriously.”
Boone answered, “Yeah, that’s what you do when you choke me.”
The Orange County woman is again in the news once more, this time for her handwritten advertisement for a new lawyer.
Boone goes on in the advertisement to outline a number of requirements for prospective lawyers, including “maintaining faith in the client,” “client inclusion at all times,” “team orientation,” and “exceptional problem-solving skills.”

Boone provides aspiring lawyers with two bite-sized pieces of thought-food, culminating in a powerful finish: “invest in the oppressed.” Have faith. The advertisement concludes with what looks to be her prisoner number—basically, her contact details. Boone’s trial was delayed since she doesn’t have the finest record for getting along with her lawyers.
“I told her from day one that her snotty attitude was inappropriate,” Boone stated.
Boone’s second-degree murder trial is scheduled for October.
