Observing the evolution of this trial and recent courtroom proceedings……. is it just me - but I have to wonder if the defendant SB perhaps thinks this is simply a game? A show? A theatrical presentation for effect? Can’t be certain yet about the defense counsel.

Is there a parallel in the sad death of her former partner by her own actions (or inactions)? Was it supposed to be a silly fantasy game set up in her mind? A tortuous event for those involved? A twisted game designed to create an effect or result or reaction?

Has someone perhaps forgotten that someone, JT, died?

I hope this won’t be lost on jurors when it comes to the trial proceedings and evidence. SMH :( MOO

Conveniently we don't know that the ex husband hasn't taking legal steps to ask the court for relief. Owens didn't know ...

Jmo

We can't see family court documents on the court records website in Florida like we can in criminal cases, but based on what we can seen on the court records website, their divorce case is labeled as "reopened" with the newest filed document being "request" filed in June this year. Whatever is going on in the case, it does appear that something is open and pending.

It would make logical sense to me that the ex-husband would file to gain sole custody of their child and end the alimony and child support since Sarah is incarcerated, but perhaps they judge in the family court case is waiting to find out if Sarah is guilty (long term incarceration) or innocent (released) before making a final decision on custody and financial arrangements. JMO!

Yes.

It's a game.

All of it. Every day. LWOP but a free Poptart, she's winning.

She loaded over JT after tricking him into the suitcase. She trumped him. Satisfied, she went to bed. Neither believing he could get out nor caring if he did, because she already won. It's easy to win if you make up the rules.

I do think the publicity as given her a celebrity status (that she's entirely wrong about) and feels like this is all some kind of spin on the Bachelorette, that people are tuning in because of how great she is. Great nothing, she's the Naked Emporer, oblivious to how she is received, perceived. Low in insight, high on drama. And eyeliner.

Seems that way to me too.

IMO SB's 'advert' for a new lawyer covered it - she's the key player in her courtroom drama, Hollywood movie. No wonder she wanted theatre snacks. In her version, the ending is going to be the magnificent triumph of SB over the state and everyone will be very sorry for implying she might be involved in a death, plus compensation.

Re her snacks request declined, I'm not even sure SB heard the Judge say it - she was in conversation with the woman behind her who came over for a discussion. Maybe it's just me but I think any person allowed to be in a court room should remain absolutely silent when a Judge is delivering a decision. The defendant, SB, actually failed to hear that decision because of her own defence counsel speaking. Shocking. JMO

I dont think she has any awareness of morality, meaning no conscience, she does not know right from wrong. Her behavior shows she is a self-centered (narcissist) person. Everything is about SB. I dont think she truly feels or thinks about others.

Trial will be fascinating.

Her request for certain food items is all a game. How she can control the narrative and control everyone around her. She is the star of the play. She made sure that she got the final last words and full control with JT.

Just my opinion, but don't think Im saying anything here that y’all don't know about SB.

I don't understand that if SB was so sure of JT being able to get out of the suitcase why did she feel safe/comfortable going to bed and to sleep. I DO understand that her thinking is muddled at best, but this part bothers me.
And...I totally agree with Arielilane's statement above.

A deeply disordered person(ality). All of them. I call it Cluster F.

She does know right from wrong, however, because she's finely tuned to it where her needs factor. For others? No. There is no 'other' for her. Stunning lack of empathy.

I think she truly perceives herself at the center and all the people are like pawns on a ganeboard.

If we said to her, Sarah, there are a lot of inmates awaiting trial, with long days at hearings, and we aren't giving them extra snacks, so why would you merit them?

She would look at you confused and say, "but I need to keep my energy up". Almost as if she didn't hear you and in some ways she didn't. She tuned out the part that wasn't about her.

In that, she is IMO 100% consistent.

And no, Sarah, that's not a compliment. I'm not a fan.

Her original story and her new, current story, are not compatible. Now she is saying he got his hand out of the suitcase and she knew she would be beaten so she took a baseball bat to his fingers. Yet she wasn't afraid to go upstairs and go to sleep?

Nobody knows if JT was already deceased when SB allegedly went to bed;
Also nobody knows if SB even went to bed at all;
We don't know what JT's estimated time of death was or how long the pathologist imagines he was expired for before the emergency services attended;
We don't know what SB did during all the hours prior she called emergency services, except that she called her ex-husband before doing so...

Some of this information will no doubt be revealed by prosecution during the court case as they present their evidence.

I wonder if Sarah gets hangry? I mean, I think I do already know the answer to this one.

Sometimes I can't help but laugh at her absolute balls. She is so shameless it's sometimes impossible NOT to laugh at her. But by God does she make me so angry.

For the love of everyone in the whole world. Hang, draw and quarter her good juror folks of Florida.

IMO Sarah is thriving in jail. It suits her. She'll find her niche in prison too.

It's best for society too.

I've realised who Owens reminds me of...

Leslie Jordan playing Karen's friend Beverley in Will & Grace!

IMO SB is an untreated addict and even if she's not able to acquire the usual substances in jail she's behaving exactly like a 'dry drunk' and / or using other addict mechanisms = food / sex / codependence / hoarding / gambling etc - I think there's a strong possibility she's getting several of those in jail. We know she's fond of stashing other inmates possessions and 30 cheese slices.

She's so dislikeable and what she did is repulsive, she seems to have no shame, no conscience, no remorse and that's shocking. I think this case is unprecedented insofar as I can't think of any woman who has slowly tortured and killed someone in this manner with so much evidence against them, then brazenly denied wrongdoing.

Totally agree. I noticed in her interview with police that, when asked why she stays with Jorge who beats her, she responds "everyone asks me that" and at first I assumed she meant her girlfriends would ask. But no, she went on to elaborate how the neighbor and the property manager asked her that. Seems to me she has no friends, so jail is probably a new and pleasant experience to her with all those captive ready-made friends!

I can't wrap my mind around SB's rejection of plea deal offer of 15 years minus time served. She's been jailed about four years, so she' be sentenced to 11 years prison. With good behavior she could be released after about 80% time served, about 8 to 9 years. I can't see a jury treating her so well. opinion only

IANAL but seems to me Owens is not practising law but attempted deception of the law. He should be scrutinised for his conduct in this case IMO. JMO. I hope there is a regulatory body of ethics.
I agree.

I posted this after listening to Owens.

snip:

"When Owen did his little presser he left me with more questions about him than anything he said about Boone and this case.
The arrow on my ticker was pointing to somethings off about him."
