TWICE in the 911 call, SB says she PUT HIM in the suitcase.
That's not how Hide-n-Seek works. I hide you, then I find you where I put you, then I leave you there where I hid-n-found you and go to bed. No 'tag, you're it'. She didn't hide.
But then, we all know it was never a game.
Are her motions published yet?
My sympathy to the judge and, in time, the jury.

Agree with your points and wonder how did she coerce / coax / trick him into a suitcase and then him not bust out whilst she zipped it all around? I guess at the moment he heard those zips going around him he must have known he was done for. Did she sit on top of him with her full body weight whilst he desperately tried to prevent her fully fastening the case?
Perhaps he had passed out drunk and wasn't awake when she put him in there? She accused him of 'rag dolling' her in one of the police arrest body cams for one of their prior incidents. Perhaps that's what she did to him when he was passed out and malleable - shoved him around like a rag doll?
JMO MOO
Yes, and some interesting theory here too.IMO she's not trying to avoid or delay trial. She wants out and believes she's innocent. She's impossible to work with and her attorneys are probably unable to convey the information about the severity of her situation to her as she wants to control the narrative. When she can't, or they don't do what she expects, then she becomes abusive and difficult.
I believe she's very much looking forward to her time in the spotlight and being vindicated in court because she's literally delusional.
This actually makes sense to me. She is a very unusual individual and I hope one day a case study is done on her because wowsa, she's quite something. Quite literally delusional.IMO she's not trying to avoid or delay trial. She wants out and believes she's innocent.

^^rsbmI wonder if maybe this SB defendant is playing another game as well. IANAL. Looks like in FL one can only be tried in absentia for a misdemeanor. So doubt any exception or case to be made for that. But the behavior reminds me of the Ira Einhorn case in Philadelphia, PA some years back. IIRC he was first tried and convicted in absentia for the death of Holly Maddux as he had fled the US. And then he was later found in France IIRC and ultimately returned and retried and convicted once the death penalty was removed from consideration.
Sarah Boone Status Hearing docket entry:
IANAL. Wonder why this defendant hasn’t been requested to undergo suitable psychiatric, psychological, and mental health evaluation? Or maybe that has already happened and I am unaware. And with her now representing herself, might that be grounds for some future ruling or appeal? For example, ineffective counsel….. although SB has plowed through the effective counsel offered to her.See this is a pity that Judge Wooten is no longer on the case as he did state he'd take a personal interest and scrutinise what's going on with SB and her attorneys.
She wants to conduct her own trial and tell everyone she's innocent etc but she doesn't have any stories that stack up so it wouldn't be possible, the prosecution would just slaughter her and she'd end up with what's probably considered an unfair trial with a far harsher sentence than usual.
It is legal / ethical to allow the defendant to represent themselves if they're going to damage their own (already poor) prospects, which it's clear she would.
How can this case proceed when she's unworkable with? She clearly doesn't care about getting out of prison any longer, not bothered about her son any more? Maybe it's all part of her own psychological denial and obfuscation mechanisms - the longer she doesn't have a trial the longer it is before she's found culpable of the thing she's in denial about - so it serves a purpose for it not to happen.

Thanks for sharing these. Trying to make sense of it... The PI (Billy Lane) took custody of the two boxes of discovery during the last hearing and was instructed by the judge to put the documents on a thumb drive for Sarah to use on the computer in jail for her trial prep. Today during court, he returned the two boxes of discovery to the clerk and gave the thumb drive to the Sergeant. Got it. But then Sarah wanted him to have the boxes of discovery back in his custody and the court approved it? What for?
My suggestion IANAL…. Take her out of the courtroom since she does not conduct her behavior in such a manner to deserve or allow her to be present. She has removed that right. MOO^^rsbm
I don't understand? What does trial by absentia have to do with Sarah Boone? She's present and being held in custody. Einhorn was tried in absentia after he skipped bail and fled to EU days before his trial. Einhorn was a fugitive for more than 20 years!
SB had a Motions hearing today -- she was sworn in as pro-se (and also wants standby counsel) but still seemed to be very much enjoying this circus she created. She previously received 8 attorneys by the court.

And the circus she has created underscores the point. Let her watch it remotely if allowed under FL law. MOO
From other cases, I know that Docs/Exhibits inside the cell are deemed contraband so the thumb drive makes sense. Jail personnel will give TD to her during the hours she's allowed access to a laptop.
I believe she wants the PI/Investigator to have custody of the discovery for convenience since she can easily contact him. I imagine SB just received thousands of scanned pages and probably hasn't viewed them yet to know if all are legible, and may need some data re-scanned. JMO
The victim is conscious, talking to Boone from inside the suitcase. It's not clear how long he's been inside the suitcase when Boone is filming him:
SB's status hearing was earlier today. It wasn't live streamed this morning, but it is available now.
-- SB does not want to be pro se... she should have thought about that before zipping up the suitcase with Jorge inside and ignoring all his cries for help.
Additionally, she should have thought of the importance a defense attorney role is in defending her rights - knowing the laws. Instead she whined and cried like a b.... about everything and she is now left with herself.

'I don't want to be pro se': Sarah Boone argues with judge
Accused killer Sarah Boone argued with a judge over access to evidence and whether she had a right to standby counsel at a hearing on Monday.www.courttv.com
ORLANDO, Fla. (Court TV) — Accused killer Sarah Boone appeared in court on Monday, where she failed to convince a judge to give her another chance to have a lawyer represent her.
All attorneys interviewed by Court TV said they would not want to represent Sarah Boone. One said the video tape Sarah took of Jorge Torres begging for his life from within the suitcase would be very difficult to overcome. Another said he would not touch this case with a ten-foot pole!I want to see this...any link?
Or could you sum up what defense attorneys said?...thanks
