Shizzy Reacts to: Sarah Boone

The trial for Sarah Boone, the Florida woman accused of zipping up her boyfriend in a suitcase and leaving him there to die during an alleged game of hide-and-seek in 2020, is now set to begin on May 13, 2024.

The trial was set to begin on Monday, Jan. 29, but was ultimately canceled court records show. A status hearing is scheduled for May 3.

The start of the trial has been pushed back multiple times over the past nearly four years after several public defenders filed motions to withdraw from representing Boone.

On Feb. 25, 2020, Boone, then 42, was arrested by Orange County deputies after detectives said 42-year-old Jorge Torres Jr. died after being zipped into a suitcase and left inside for hours. The incident reportedly happened at the couple's Winter Park home, near Aloma Avenue and Goldenrod Road.
