Defense attorney James Owens claimed Sarah Boone's mind at the time of Jorge Torres' death was that of a psychologically abused victim and not a person who wanted to kill a person. Fear and trauma was what led her to zip up the suitcase with her abuser stuck inside and why she refused to open the suitcase back up. Owens contended that years of trauma and abuse at the hands of her boyfriend led her to fighting back in zipping him up in a suitcase and leaving him in there for hours until he died.
