FL - Sarah Boone, 42, charged with murdering boyfriend Jorge Torres, 42, by leaving him locked in suitcase, Winter Park, Feb 2020 #2

[Megnut]

Now Sarah knew she didn't have to answer her ex-husband's calls because it was well before 3 pm when [son] would get out of school.

But I thought she was worried her ex-husband would bring their son over.

Train A and Train B crash in the middle.

Owens is leading and coaching and correcting.

"I guess you could say I was trained by fear. It wasn't fun anymore when we were drinking."

This is her defense?????

Can't watch testimony till later, but I take it this is a pretty obvious and noticeable coaching job when it comes to questions directly related to BSS? Seems jury will see that; and what's she gonna do on cross??. The state is going to catch her out in so many lies as it is. In closing, state should stress her low credibility factor. Can they believe anything coming out of her mouth? Was there ever a moment when she was unquestionably sincere and non- self serving. Moo

SB agreed she lied to the police initially that she had nothing to do with Jorge's injuries

He is nailing her on memory - she doesn't remember taking the suitcase pic yet remembers detailed stuff after that?

Observation: a lot of blinking

I think cross is building a good case that SB is inconsistent, knowingly dishonest, can't possibly remember some things, lies about others, and is fabricating certain things, that there is no evidence for some things.

 

[Megnut]

Why can't SB remember the things she actually did, prior to drinking?

Sad for them no matter what their relationship with Jorge was.
Jorge's family was aware of his ways yet according to AB they hated her and so much so that she feared for her safety after his death.
Why?
We don;t know anything about Jorge's 2 ex wives and if violence was the reason for those divorces.
Maybe they thought or knew that AB made Jorge's violent tendencies even worse. like provoking him?

Who is AB?

We know that JT's parents do not hold hate in their hearts for defendant SB, or anybody else. They are larger humans than I could be in their situation. JMO

“I felt protected”????

 

[Observe_dont_Absorb]

She's had 4.5 solid years to cast her mind over the night of that death and yet claims she can't really recall what she was thinking / feeling prior to her 'memory tape' stopped recording?

So the 1.5 liter of wine is the large bottle.

That is a lot of wine, 2 of those plus some from a bottle that was in the fridge.
They each weighed 100 lbs and could have been on a pretty empty stomach.

Suitcase demonstration

 

[Izzylizzy]

An Ashley Benefield on its way?

 

[Megnut]

She's LOCKED into the witness box!

Released to demonstrate for the jury, relative to the suitcase.

 

[Izzylizzy]

OMG!
For her to look at and touch the suitcase that Jorge died in.
Calm as a cuke.

 

[Izzylizzy]

Think her jail buddies have a TV and can watch her trial?

 

[Megnut]

Owens seems to be objecting to the reattachment of the paperclip to the zipper.

 

[Izzylizzy]

She's LOCKED into the witness box!

Released to demonstrate for the jury, relative to the suitcase.

Even at 5'2" and 100 Lbs I still can't believe he fit in it and she could zip it.

State starting right out the gate with alternate motive, Jealousy and revenge. And that is totally plausible. Afterall, the video recording showed SB telling JT that running out of air in a suitcase 'is what it feels like when you cheat on me' or similar IIRC. And 'this is what it feels like when you choke me', which indicates an act of revenge not an act out of fear/self defence. And intentional, given she's not invoking a black out pissed defense if that was even an option. Jmo
