Did Sarah Boone really mean to kill her boyfriend, or was she simply a victim trying to protect herself? The so-called "suitcase murder" trial is a wild one, filled with bizarre twists and questions about abuse, self-defense, and mental health. Sarah Boone zipped her boyfriend, Jorge Torres, into a suitcase, taunted him while he begged for help, and filmed the whole thing. Now, was this a case of self-defense from an abusive partner, or was Boone just as dangerous as the man she allegedly feared? The trial's testimony reveals a complex and disturbing relationship, with Boone's mental state called into question. She acted like a scared child at times, even asking the judge for Pop-Tarts and snacks, raising doubts about her competence. Could battered spouse syndrome be her defense, or will the chilling video footage seal her fate? What would you do if you were trapped in a situation like Boone's?
