Sarah Boone Murder Trial Delayed Again

Sarah Boone's murder trial, where she faces charges of suffocating her boyfriend Jorge Torres inside a suitcase in 2020, has been postponed to October 14 due to Hurricane Milton. Boone's trial has faced numerous delays since her arrest, totaling 16 instances, and she has cycled through nine attorneys, often due to irreconcilable differences. The trial was set to begin with jury selection, which was interrupted by the hurricane's impact on court operations. Boone rejected a plea deal that would have offered a lesser sentence, maintaining her commitment to contest the charges in court. Security concerns led to a judge denying Boone's request for professional hairstyling and makeup for her trial. The case has garnered significant media attention, complicating the jury selection process due to the high-profile nature of the allegations.
