Sarah Boone trial update: Jurors see texts, interrogation video

Jurors in the Sarah Boone trial saw photos of Jorge Torres' body, text messages allegedly sent by Sarah Boone, and the hours-long interrogation video shortly after Torres was found dead in the suitcase. Here is the latest on the trial.

ORLANDO, Fla. - The "suitcase murder" trial continued late into the evening, with jurors reviewing key evidence in the case of Sarah Boone, whose boyfriend was found dead inside a suitcase.

In court, jurors watched videos of Boone being questioned by investigators after Jorge Torres’ body was discovered in 2020. They also saw footage filmed by Boone on her phone.

The state presented an audio recording from Boone's interrogation, during which she claimed that Torres' death occurred during a drunken game of hide-and-seek. A homicide investigator who interviewed Boone in 2020 testified, and an edited version of the interview was played in court.

The trial will resume on Tuesday.
