I seem to recall there was something in her interview about how they'd brought the suitcase down from upstairs and were messing around playing a game to see if he could get in it or somesuch. The police interview is online if you search for it, she hadn't asserted her right for an attorney and she also had a LOT to say so it goes on a while...

I was totally prepared to believe she is / was an alcoholic, that they'd both got drunk, pranked around, that she'd decided to let him sweat it out in the suitcase due to feeling malicious and vengeful and left him for a bit, not expecting him to die, then fallen fast asleep in a drunken stupor. However, other people make good arguments that this was not the situation at all. In which case, how did the suitcase get downstairs in the sitting room and if it was brought down for this strange 'game' then how pre-meditated was this?

In my opinion, Jorge entered the suitcase upstairs, and Sarah tipped it down the stairs with Jorge in it. As I recall, the neighbor reported a sound like someone falling down the stairs to the police. My opinion.

I came to that idea about the Hide and Seek while watching the interrogations. Explaining how this was a Hide and Seek game is so convoluted, I speculate it's true. And SB has never given up on the "Hide and Seek" theme, even though it sounds nonsensical.

But yeah, I think he was the hider and she was the seeker. He hid in the suitcase, and she sneaked up on it, and zipped it shut before he could react.

SB could have pushed the suitcase downstairs, but it's a little murky where exactly the suitcase was when he got in it. It sounds like maybe the bruises don't correspond to a "fall down stairs inside a suitcase". At the very least, though, she flipped the suitcase over, because she said so during the interrogation.

In the interrogation video, she said she had previously brought the suitcase downstairs because she had been planning to get rid of it and was going to take it to a donation center.

Correct. I thought this might be a lie, though.

I've just finished watching the police interrogation on THE LAW & CRIME CHANNEL on YouTube and this chick is something else!
My jaw dropped when she snapped, “Are you trying to make it worse?!” when the detective mentioned Jorge’s daughters.

Trial will be interesting. Based on the 911 call, bodycam footage, and interrogation, I actually believe that she didn’t intend to murder him. But zipping someone inside a suitcase is essentially torture, regardless of whether or not the intent is to kill them. She seems blissfully unaware of this. It’s stunning how immature her behavior is.

IMO

In my opinion she is lying. I personally would not believe a word she says.

In my opinion, the 911 call, bodycam footage and interrogation video can not be relied upon as truthful. This murderer is trying to save her skin and was trying to manipulate police with her falsehoods. It was all a performance at that point. The most reliable evidence is the cellphone recording she made of Jorge struggling in the zipped up suitcase, begging for her to free him while she laughs at and curses him.

This woman is a monster and deserves no sympathy. No wonder she has burned through four attorneys already. If anyone deserves capital punishment, it is her. In my opinion.

Put your chin down to your neck and try to get quality breaths in & out a few times. What a terrifying feeling positional asphyxiation is.

That recording was so eerie and disturbing. To me it was physical and mental torture. She enjoyed him begging her to get out. Turn the lights off and it becomes a horror story.

Boone's trial has been delayed again, it is now scheduled for Oct. 2. The reason for the delay is because the defense team wants to present an expert witness to testify about battered wife syndrome, which is the defense Boone plans to use.

Judge says he has Boone's latest letter to him but it hasn't been uploaded.
Wonder when we will see that letter? moo
