The Florida woman found guilty of stuffing her boyfriend into a suitcase and leaving him to suffocate inside has been sentenced to life in prison.

Sarah Boone, 47, learned her fate in an Orlando courtroom on Monday, Dec. 2, more than a month after she was found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Jorge Torres Jr., 42.

Torres was found dead in a suitcase in the couple’s Winter Park apartment on the morning of February 24, 2020.

Boone claimed the two were playing a drunken game of hide-and-seek. On the witness stand, she claimed in her own defense that the two found it “weird” that the 5-foot-tall Torres fit into the suitcase.

While he was inside, she zipped up the suitcase and captured parts of the frightening incident in two videos she took on her cell phone that night.

In the videos, Torres can be heard begging them to let him out of the suitcase and proclaiming that he “can’t breathe.”

She claimed that Torres had abused her before and testified during the trial that she thought it would be a good time to talk openly with him since Torres “wasn’t able to come out.”

Boone laughed as Torres asked to be let out of the suitcase. “For everything you did to me,” she says, comparing Torres’ suffocating feeling to how she feels when he cheats on her or chokes her.

When Torres managed to get his hand out of the suitcase, she took a baseball bat and hit his hand with it until he put it back in. She testified that she feared he would “break out of the suitcase.”

Believing he could get out of the suitcase himself, she said she went upstairs to sleep, left him inside overnight and found him dead the next day.

Torres’ sister Victoria said Boone deserved to “rot in prison.”

“Sarah caused a lifetime of pain, a lifetime of terrible images, a lifetime of my brother Jorge pleading for his life,” said Victoria Torres. “Something as simple as using a suitcase is so triggering that I try not to close it all the way.”

On the witness stand, Boone said she never intended to kill Torres, while claiming that her actions were in self-defense and that he had previously been abusive to her. In a statement to the court on Monday, she repeated her allegations of intimate partner violence against Torres, claiming her boyfriend beat, raped and stabbed her while terrorizing her.

Boone still asked the Torres family for “forgiveness.”

However, Orange County, Florida prosecutor Andrew Bain claimed that her testimony was “contradicted” by the video evidence and her own statements to police.

Prosecutor Dave Cacciatore had asked the judge to sentence Boone to life in prison, noting that an offer of 15 years in prison for manslaughter was conditional on her accepting responsibility and remorse for Torres’ death, which he said was not the case had been proven.
