One spunky Florida couple decided to stay in and have a wild night.
But things took a dark twist that no one saw coming.
And now a Florida woman’s wild night of drinking and playing hide-and-seek with her boyfriend ended with murder charges.
Wine and hide-and-seek – what could go wrong?
Sarah Boone and her boyfriend Jorge Torres decided to have a wild night in.
The wine was flowing, and the couple wanted to spice things up with a game of hide-and-seek.
Sounds innocent enough, perhaps.
Except it appears Boone had something else in mind.
Torres was really into the game and found the perfect place to hide.
He opened a big blue rolling suitcase, thinking she would never find him.
But he never dreamed his place to hide would be his deathbed.
And when Boone found her boyfriend hiding in the suitcase she decided to take out her pent-up rage and zip the suitcase closed.
A deadly root of anger
Drunken Boone videotaped her boyfriend suffocating inside the suitcase, repeating over and over he could not breathe and asking to be let out, The New York Times reported.
Terrifying!
Imagine the fear he experienced as he took his final breaths, knowing that his own girlfriend had the ability to simply unzip the suitcase, but refused to do so.
Boone simply snarked back at her boyfriend saying, “Yeah that’s what you do when you choke me,” claiming in court that she never intended to kill Torres, but that he had abused her in the past.
While abuse is always wrong, it does not give an excuse to commit cold-blooded murder!
During the trial, Boone claimed she thought Torres would be able to simply let himself out of the suitcase, so she went upstairs and passed out, The New York Times continued.
Surprise surprise – he was dead
After sleeping off her wine, when she woke up, she found her boyfriend dead.
Of course, he was dead!
The man was pleading for his life the day prior, saying he could not breathe and needed help.
What did Boone think would happen?
She may have “said,” she thought he would be able to let himself out but clearly, if he could have, he would not have been begging for his life.
During the trial, her “defense” was that her boyfriend was abusive.
But the court did not buy it.
She was found guilty of second-degree murder and now faces life in prison.
The prosecutor put on a strong case and brought to court the actual blue suitcase where Torres lost his life.
All of this could have been avoided if Boone did not have a mental breakdown.
If all it took was a few glasses of wine and some stored internal rage and bitterness for her to zip her boyfriend in a suitcase and let him die it is a good thing she will spend time behind bars so she cannot hurt anyone else.
