Right down to the end, Sarah Boone — a convicted murderer — portrayed herself as the victim.

Not the man she left to die in a suitcase. Not his family members who were left heartbroken in the wake of his death.

Boone, 47 years old, expressed her emotions without holding back during a statement where she vocalized her deep-seated issues with her late boyfriend, 42-year-old Jorge Torres Jr. She accused Torres of past domestic abuse and criticized his family for not intervening. Additionally, she lashed out at detectives, prosecutors, and the media, whom she referred to as “scoundrels,” for unfairly portraying her.

But Florida Ninth Circuit Judge Michael Kraynick didn’t buy her sob story and sentenced her to life in prison on Monday. She had no reaction.

In the gallery, however, several of Torres’ family members shed tears and hugged.

A jury convicted Boone of second-degree murder in October of the February 2020 death of Torres.
