I cannot wait to see how she explains the neighbours hearing something going down the stairs
Yes. I don't think she's ever admitted this started upstairs, even though evidence was found up there. The pillow case.
And they also heard loud arguing....
When someone is “donating clothes from an upstairs closet, do they not pack the suitcase upstairs first and than bring the suitcase downstairs? The fact that the suitcase was supposedly “already” downstairs is a lie. Jorge either got into the suitcase upstairs willingly, or he was not conscious and Sarah zipped him into it and shoved it down the stairs with him in it. I don’t believe she ever had intention to donate any clothes. That’s part of her billions of lies.
@@user-ll3yx7tx3w Jorge had a few injuries to his head, shoulders and hands. A baseball bat was also taken in evidence. Sarah had no injuries. So it sounds like she hit him and put him in the case. I think a lot more of this horror show will come out at trial.
She should have been doing arts and crafts and hide and seek with her son instead of drinking .
100%
IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT A HUSBAND, WHO HAS BEEN ABUSING HIS SPOUSE, WOULD GET INTO A SUITCASE AND ALLOW HIS ABUSED SPOUSE TO ZIP IT UP.
No need to shout. I can. If he was a narcissist, and drunk, he could well believe that she loved him regardless of the abuse that he was rightfully giving her, (from his twisted POV) and that she would never dare go against him.
@TheBunzinator putting yourself in a suitcase is a very vulnerable, compromised situation. The logic doesn't translate. Let alone allow yourself to be zipped up in it?????
@TheBunzinator from what we have heard and seen of Sarah Boone, IN NO WAY, is she ever likely to have been an abused woman! More like an ABUSER
@@Bee-24 Yes. I agree. I don't know why hallelujah felt the need to shout, but I agree.
@@Bee-24 I'm on a working assumption that they were mutually abusive. He, physically abusive. Her, psychologically abusive, and possibly somewhat physically too. Don't take my earlier comment to suggest that I think she's a victim - just that he was too deluded and drunk to believe that she'd go that far. It's all just speculation anyway.
You explain everything so clearly! I appreciate that you always go into the relevant case law or other standards. I had a tiny bit of law school decades ago, enough to appreciate the legal research process and the importance of footnotes. It's informative and enjoyable to watch your channel. (Can't believe you're doing all this w Covid in a suit and tie, but more power to you. Get lots of rest and have a blessed new year).
What can I say your worth it!
Justice for Jorge. Life for Boone.
the 2 hour police interview w Sarah, there's no mention of abuse or any talk of being abused, nor a tiny mark on her, the injuries were all on Jorge, and he was tortured to death w/o question
Exactly and she took everything from him. His id, he had no debit card. And at the end she took his life 💜💜💜
I read she was very jealous of his artistic abilities
If she was in so much fear, why would she go upstairs and go to sleep? She is such a liar she believes her lies.
Exactly!
Exactly. I was married to an abuser and at the end before I got away I slept behind locked doors with my phone on my hand set to police.
Jorge didn’t even have a house key or money or a car or a phone. Sarah controlled all.
What happens when Judge Kraynick learns this new info? He watched all of her statements to LE including her custodial interrogation? As a matter of law he cannot allow a BS defense or self defense jury instruction.
If she thought he could unzip the suitcase and get out, why did Sarah go up to bed where he could come attack her?
Right! Why didn’t she go to Brian’s like she did so many times before? Call 911 like she did so many times? Her stories are all lies.
She keeps saying she is in fear for her life, but it was an accident.
That's one point at which it all falls apart.
Her story hasn't made sense since the beginning. First hide and seek then Jorge just got in the suitcase for funsies.
Now she's admitted to breaking his fingers with a bat when he tried to get out.
I think she killed him on purpose. I think she did it this way hoping she could get away with it just being an accident but if not. She'll take a murder 2 charge and cry to the judge.
In her interrogation she was desperate to get the murder weapons back. Both the suitcase and the bat. Asking the detectives how to clean them. She wanted mementos of the murder.
Happy little reminders of what she did.
I think Sarah got lucky the detectives who interviewed her couldn't keep it together. They resorted to just mocking her and lost track of the narrative they were being fed.
The detectives concentrated more on making each other laugh than trying to figure out this woman's real motive. This when she was incapable of shutting up and if the woman played good cop Sarah probably would have admitted a hell of a lot more.
I've heard Sarah was mad that night because she had convinced Jorge to drop the felony charges against her and she found out he had talked to the detective in that case on the phone.
If she killed Jorge because he's a witness. It's first degree murder.
She called the cops on Jorge how many times, she had him put in jail how many times, she bail him out how many times, If it was so bad to be with Jorge why did she go get him from mom and pops house all the time.
Exactly! And what victim who lives in fear on a daily basis has their abuser clean her apartment? Tell him when to go inside, when to paint, when to turn his music off, when to puzzle, when to call his daughter, when to call his brother and tell him what to say? This makes absolutely no sense
She's the one with felony strangulation charges, not Jorge.
The state is trying to preclude SB from victimizing Jorge.
Yes, I think they are. It's heartening that someone cares.
Excellent presentation of the lyin' psychopath!
I don’t know why the State is so worried. Don’t they have enough evidence to obliterate her defense??
Yes but this one told us what's been happening in relation to getting into the suitcase and loads of other wonderful things 😂
Also it's nice for the family not to have lies being claimed in Court.
It's also process
Attempting to enforce case law doesn't mean that they're worried.
@@Salfaith007 That's why trials are held. Do you want the State to reveal everything now? Why? At this point they are just responding to Owens and Sarah's BS motions.
SARA had no marks on her when she was talking to the detectives.she says night before he had dragged her down stairs she's such a liar .
Hopefully, the State will drag her under the prison.
Simply put, Sarah is not credible. Not only is she not credible, but she told that "tale" to others while she was waiting around on 2/24 and who she felt would back up her claims that Jorge was the abuser, not her. The numerous attorneys have experienced that side of Sarah, and so has the staff inside the jail. Sarah is far more dangerous than some might suspect.
.Cruel with no remorse
I don't see Sarah Boone as battered. I see her as the batterer. Jorge Torres, the victim, had no history of domestic violence prior to him defending himself against Boone. Boone's ex husband in a statement to detectives stated that when drinking, Boone became violent toward him. Judge Kraynick found the defendant lacked credibility twice during her testimony at the hearing to exclude the interrogation video. Justice would make her testify. Let's see which version of the story she comes up with this time.
The truth has only 1 version. Judge Kraynick isn’t going to like her changing her story so many times. It’s clearly perjury and I can’t believe Mr Owens is willing to go put forth a ridiculous story which he knows is untrue? They can lose their law license over that!
Hey Brother Counsel - just wanted to say I really appreciate your work. You do a great job giving a solid take on everything and fleshing out the details.
Thanks so much! Appreciate you letting me know!
I hate the way they refer to Jorge as “decedent”. It completely removes the human component out of the crime.
Me too
The jury will see through her lies.
Oh I can't wait. For her to see that all jurors will feel the same about her as we do
the prosecution will rip her apart on cross examination, she fell apart when she was on the stand be ask question by the prosecutor
Thank you BC for the video. I find the cases that give the basis for a decision most interesting. I do hope you are getting better every day. 😊👍
State is quite pointedly showing how one version of Sarah's story debunks the other(s). It's a preview of how cross-examination will go.
yeah she answered all her lawyers questions quickly, but when the prosecution questioned her she thought he was speaking chinese to her, he asked the same questioned three times in three different ways and she still could not answer it, she will fall apart at trial on cross examination ???
If this woman wasn't such a fool she could of pled and been on her way to serving her time, but nope its got to be all about Sarah. Don't no what she gonna do when her case is over and she gets no more attention.
Exactly. She’s already been in jail for 5 years (I think). With time served and good behavior she could reasonably be out fairly soon. Gambling on this bs defense is NOT smart
could HAVE
She's too narcissistic to admit guilt. If the pleas it out she can't appeal later. I think it will get denied, but that's her plan.
Thank you BC for another excellent explanation. Ms. Boone is going to learn that in the school of hard-knocks she excels in drama and her duplicitous storytelling will finally grant her the recognition she deserves. 🙄
😂😂😂🤣
It’s always good to see a video from you. Hope you’re feeling better!
Thanks for reading this. Your response to what you were reading was golden 😂😂
Thank you BC. You are the peoples attorney
You read quickly and react/comment quickly, I like that! I usually put most of these videos on 2x speed. Thank you for keeping our attention.
You're welcome!
Brother, you rock! Thank you for your 'plain language' explanations of court lingo and actions. It's makes the trials, etc. more educational for us (me) regular, non legal folks. You're number one in explanations of issues and do so in record time. God love you every day, and your family as well.
Suds "plain language". Dumbing down is criminal
Wow thanks!
So she expects people to believe: she believed he could get out, that he would kill her when he got out, and she went to bed and “fell asleep” expecting him to charge in and kill her at any moment. That’s exactly the kind of nonsense I’d expect from her, to be honest. I’m very interested in hearing the judge’s second ruling on this attempt by the state. I think they made an excellent argument, but I feel like Judge Kranick may allow it to prevent any chance of a successful appeal.
The defendant evidently told the BSS expert that, when Jorge tried to use the gap to escape (her stated purpose for it) she beat his fingers with the baseball bat. She would have then zipped it up before recording her videos.
1 There was no alleged abuse of Sarah Boone in the past where he choked her.
2. Who, after drinking a lot ever would want to do housework?
3. It's hard to believe that a 103 lb man can batter any woman. I guess it's possible. Sara Boone looked to me about 140 lbs.
Additionally as far as self defense; all Sara Boone had to do was call the police to come get Jorge Torres for violating his restraining order. She had no need to leave him in the suitcase to wait for him to cool off. If she was in fear of her life she would have called the police.
She had also put him back on the lease when she renewed it that month.
@@doom4067 exactly
Or went to Brian’s house like she had done so many times.
State's trying to take away her faulty weapon.
“Tag, you’re it,” is “Tag,” not “Hide and seek.” How is anyone as stupid as this woman??
And for someone who ONLY lies why isn’t she better at it. I’m sorry you didn’t listen to your family Jorge. B(
I think she finds herself having to make a lot of stuff up because she was blackout drunk so doesn't remember anything.
What? You've never played hide and seek suitcase tag?
Why would a grown man and woman play hide and seek. I think that is all made up.
It's possible, but not very believable.
They had a "No contact order" so why was Jorge at Sarah's apt that night? How did he get there? How come no one is talking about the "No contact order"?
Cause Sarah had it changed
There's a whole body can video about it by the police - and his direct answer to that exact question
@@alfredamay9832 Sarah always bailed him out the very next day. Sarah went to fetch him from his parents house when he was there. I can BET you that Sarah told him to come.
And by the way, the no contact order was way before this murder
tysm! so ready for this case to get going I can at least give the judge credit for trying to make it happen
You know she now has a new story. She said that Jorge got in the suitcase and you could see a few fingers sticking out, but when Jorge said, ",Sarah I can't breathe", it so enraged Sarah that she picked up that baseball bat and started hitting his fingers with it
She said she was afraid to let him out. Bullshit
@@eddieesielionis3429 if she was afraid she could have called the neighbors, 911 or his family and left
You don't go up and sleep and chill in bed till noon the next day if you thought your abuser can come up
Such BS
She vindictively beat the tar out of him with a baseball bat after locking him and in a suitcase, and then laughed at him for 11 minutes (that we know of), while he begged for his life as he was suffocating to death, then she walked away. They were "playful" up until this point. This was NOT an act of self defence in any way!! It was a deliberate act of revenge on her part, that went too far because she got so drunk that she passed out so he was left there to die. This on top of a hx of mutual violence, and a a hx of HER being violent according to her ex, as well as being an alcoholic, and constantly changing her story to equate to a lesser charge, sounds like unpremeditated murder to me. Though I see potentially a case for murder 1 as well. For her to be allowed to claim BBS would be macabre and farcical. She is a victimizer, not a victim, in my opinion.
All true. Except defending yourself is reactive and not abuse. Jorge hurt her by pushing her off him when she was choking him. Like her ex Brian said. He was well able to restrain her when she was attacking him. Jorge had to fight back and defend himself harder because he wasn’t as strong. Then she would blame it all on him and call the police. Every time you can see on police body cam how he wasn’t ever irate or angry. Creating false abuse charges is a typical game many abusers love to play.
The only reason that the state might not want BSS to come in would be due to a juror who has some type of experience with it. It's possible that they would have empathy for her situation and ignore the other facts.
Those type of jurors would be dismissed for cause. Anyone with history of DV are not qualified to serve on this jury.
If she was in such fear of him why did she go upstairs and go to bed?
Also she kept telling the police that she couldn’t understand how it had happened because they had both been getting along so great. Better than ever? Then she said she couldn’t remember leaving him in the case and would never drink again. I hope she’s locked up for a very long time. RIP Jorge.
I fully agree and have been saying this for weeks! It’s a GOOD thing she puts on a BSS defense! Let her argue it! It’s more likely if she doesn’t that the jury will in fact see it as an accident and unintentional negligence….
I’m sure Sarah will try to change her story again.
The hitting his fingers with bat when he tried to unzip is gonna be a problem. Not letting him try to get out is a problem. And what damage was done to fingers, i dont know.
The damage to his fingers isn't particularly significant too me. For me the take away is that she's claiming that she did leave a gap he could use to escape, as she told the detectives, but that it was an accident. When Jorge tried to use that gap for the stated purpose, the defendant corrected it before recording her videos.
getting pretty sick of seeing all the typos in the order etc being had in this case. I would never have let such sloppy work go out the door for any of my attorneys (work with several in a State office). I mean did they even spell check?
How was she in danger of imminent death or great bodily harm if he could not get out of the suitcase? Her current attorney was absolutely foolish to say it was BS Syndrome and self-defense, even if she insisted, or to even take on the case.
She would only be 'potentially' in danger of imminent death if she let him OUT of the suitcase, and she did not, so she was not.
So why would she go upstairs and pass out if she was afraid that when Jorje got out of the suitcase he was going to kill her? Why wouldn't she bail out and go to a safe place? Another story that makes no sense.
This trial will have many twists and turns as Sarah tries to get her versions of BSS in. Both Sarah and Jorge have signs alcohol abuse which perpetuates abusive behavior. Sarah tortured Jorge in the suitcase.
I forgot this part, it so enraged Sarah because it brought back all the things he did to her.
Thats right!!! Let her argue BSS, her lies will all fall apart on the stand! Perfect...
I’ve noticed an uptick in comments defending Sarah. I wonder if Owen’s Beauties are going on UA-cam and leaving comments to smear Jorge, and say that he put himself in the suitcase. Is that what Margarette does for Owens? If you click on these accounts and read their other comments, you’ll see that they are only commenting on Sarah Boone videos in defense of Sarah, and many of these accounts are recently created accounts.
He denied it once he’ll deny it again bc it’s all she has . If he grants the motion he almost certainly would have to grant a continuance.
I think that the Judge has more of an idea of Sarah after her testimony and he may exclude it or at least limit the testimony on it.
I really enjoy your channel
Thanks so much
Glad you enjoy it!
She said he could get his fingers out, but she broke his fingers with the bat.
He doesn't have broken fingers..... That is not in the autopsy report....
You really have hit the hammer on the nail ! I can even understand the meaning of "Battered Spouce "
Thanks!
She just cant help herself. She has to say accident, even tho she wants BSS. Contradiction.
Thank you for teaching us about criminal trial procedures!❤
Look at you, almost to 10,000! Nice 😊
Today. 10/10 is Sarah’s birthday
Her gift will be late, but we can get her a guilty verdict and life sentence with a bow on it 😅
Oh wow
May she have many more birthdays locked up ahead.
Happy birthday Samsonite Sarah!
Definitely a party of 1
Thank you. 😊
She had also hit Jorge with her car while he was on a bicycle awhile back.
Such a sickening human... if she is. I feel bad for Jorge Torres😢Rest In Peace.
You deserved better
I would like to see Mr. Owens take this opportunity, before the judge decides this motion, to use it as leverage to convince Ms. Boone to take the deal the State offered on Monday, if it's still on the table. Bring this to a firm, eminently fair and final conclusion!
Also, thank you for dispelling a commonly held but mistaken belief that BSS is a get out of jail free card for an unjustifiable homicide.
Thank you! Always educational. 😊
She's not taking a plea deal. If she does that she can't appeal (which will almost certainly fail, anyway). She'll also never admit guilt.
@@doom4067 She is highly recalcitrant, no doubt. Owens' job is to advise, counsel and persuade her that playing the martyr in prison for possibly the rest of her life is not in her best interests when she has an alternative to be free in 8 years with model behavior.
Owens motion to exclude the police interrogation video was denied and he can't say he knows that the judge will decide this State's motion in her favor or not. If it goes against her, that decimates the core of any case she thought she had. Her performance on the witness stand was awful. All those line up and the timing is good for some persuasion.
He has to give it his best shot and get it done! Have a good day.
If they bring in Battered Spouse Sarah will have to testify - the only way to prevent that happening is for the defence to bring in arrest history of Jorge. However each police report includes Jorge saying that Sarah hits him and one of the arrests Sarah was also arrested - all of Jorge's arrests were misdemeanours but Sarahs was a Felony because she strangled him.
The defence are walking into a check-mate situation because no matter what they do they have to sacrifice their Queen
👍 you nailed it!
You seemed to have missed the complete snark and undertone of this glorious motion for the ages. Congrats mr. Jay. Chefs kiss. Read it again my friend. With the snark in mind 😂
I think the onus was that the objection to the battered spouse syndrome was premature at the time it was filed. It would, I think be timely now that the jury is about to be chosen
I think they just needed to wait for the expert witnesses to interview the defendant. They've done that.
Is Owens going for the Guinness book of records for motions
She was the aggressor as many times as she was the victim, according to police activity records at the home, prior to the incident. She’s an abusive drunk; just like he was.
According to whom was Jorge an abusive drunk? The only person that ever has him arrested and then bailed him out while refusing to press charges? The person that killed him?
I cant wait BC!!!
I agree. The state should let her put this nonsense in front of a jury. It’s like the state is trying to preclude her from taking this to trial.
LOVE ur commentary + thx for the info Brother! I just can’t get enough since Trial delayed now by “an act of God”……he’s the only one who could have delayed this past Oct 7….+ HE DID! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for your continued support!
The most reliable account of what happened is right after the death. Not what shes saying now. Lies in all. Tells her state of mind
BrotherCounsil, can the state amend the charges to include first degree murder or is it too late?
Have they ever said anything about her tossing the suitcase down the stairs because the neighbors heard something down the steps I think I remember and that’s how he may have got those injuries on his head? Does anybody know about that or if they’ve mentioned it any further I hope everyone in Florida is safe and well.
Nothing yet.
Also, her bringing up “BSS” won’t help her because her talking about how he mistreated her in the past gives a motive to her intentionally causing unjustifiable harm to him
Everything the defendant says contradicts BSS. Her cross examination will point out all the contradictions.
State is trying to stop defense from even mentioning battered spouse until AFTER they rest their case. By the time defense gets around to presenting their case the jury will know exactly what happened. They don’t want Owens muddying the waters during opening states & confuse the jury into thinking this is some kind of DV trial. If they don’t want to go with battered spouse they can…..but it has to come from Sarah 1st.
You went to Wayne State? So did my parents.
At first, Sarah says it was an accident and then, changes it to BSS. She can’t have it both ways. She claims she acted in self-defense. With everything that we know about this case, and Judge K presiding in the courtroom, it’s up to the jury to make their decision. Incidentally BC, you gave a thorough explanation in between these chapters. When I accidentally found your channel, immediately subscribed to it. Take care and get plenty of rest.
This pretzel of a story is very close to Wagner vs State
The State should let her do it. If they dont they will argue Batson sometime after the State rest. They State will have forgotten to give a Cell phone dump showing abuse on the guy's phone.
Tag you're it!.....is the game of Tag..........So, I know that's besides the point, it's just.........dangitt you said it right after I commented, lol. She still trying to act like there was some other reason for his death...and I don't mean official cause. I'd add charges after this new info.
What i have seen untill now Jorge was the battered spous
SB … what a crock. Lie some more Sarah to save your own sorry azz.
Sarah will not take a plea deal BC she will have to tell herself she is guilty. She wants to take this case to trial and see what the jury will give her... Life. Then and only then will she want the 15. I hope the 15 is a "Too late" deal by then. I hope the reject, is a reject... Done, gone for ever.
I doubt the state will offer it again; I was surprised they offered it right before jury selection. Post conviction is definitely too late for a plea bargain.
What Sarah Boone did to Jorge Torres was torture. No jury on this planet will acquit her for torture. Torture is never acceptable.
22 seems right on, why not go for that?
It’s a win/win for the State. If their motion is granted and they cannot use battered spouse syndrome then they go after her cause she left him trapped in the suitcase which caused his death. If the Judge denied the motion then they will just show her repeatedly stating that it was an accident and it will expose her as a liar. Either way they win.
Sarah Boone told the police that “they had not been at one another” and acted like it was a pretty good while since he hurt her. So, now we have Sarah telling Jorge to tell his brother that he dragged her down the stairs by her hair the day before the murder. She’s a pathological liar. I believe her next door neighbor who said they had been fighting in the afternoon and late into the evening, whereupon things went silent around 10 PM. Next, came a huge thumping down the stairs that shook their adjourning wall.
In this case, anytime there’s an objection, the judge typically asks the other side for a response. That’s unusual, no? Have you been in front of judges that did that as often that this judge?
Since origin motion to STRIKE BSS, Sarah Boone testified and lost her motion to suppress. Kraynich has now WATCHED the 2 hr. interrog. Kraynich found SB not to be credible. Along with the Dr.'s reports now he has a lot more info. May bode well for the State this time.
I hope the judge throws the book at her.
23:15 Wasn't it still in question if the interrogation video comes in at the time of the order?
Maybe that was a factor for the Judge's ruling at the time?
The interrogation is in. The defense is now trying to get specific options suppressed on the claim that the detectives were giving testimony to a jury during the interrogation.
@@doom4067 Thanks, but I know that. My question was related to the order from the timestamp.
The charge of "strangulation" against Suitcase Sarah was never prosecuted. Why??? She probably threatened Jorge with unaliving if he didn't recant.
She coached him. The state has it from her phone.
@judithwilliams3147 No. That charge was back in 2018 or 2018 and settled. They both went to jail that night and neither pressed charges on one another. The prosecutor ultimately dropped it. Neither was going to testify nor press charges. This had nothing to do with that.
@@ILoveMyselPH-Dthe one on her phone. Or the comment I'm answering.
@ILoveMyselPH-D What's this then. I'm missing something.
@@ILoveMyselPH-D Past behavior predicts future behavior.
13:00
I just can’t understand how George places himself
On the LID of the suitcase and then they laughed when Sarah dotted the base of the suitcase over him and attempted
To zip it up. That’s how it was placed in the first video.
Once they asked how did the suitcase get “the right side Up” Sarah said she flipped it over. I have not seen anyone else mention this so far BUT HOPE the Defence has spotted it!!!!!!!!!
I believe he got
In the suitcase “right side up, like you’d pack it up” and she pushed it down the stairs…..
In the first video she also left her things right by it…..the second video she had moved them closer to her and her camera…..
There is NO way I could have gone to sleep upstairs knowing he could
Be up at any second for retribution. This is wheee her story fails. She could have rung Brian then and asked to be picked up. Leave George there . I believe she passed out on the couch.
I have to be quite quite quite drunk to get to her word slurring stage she presented when she filmed him!!!
what a confused story, they both laughed when he got in the suitcase, she had no fear he would kill her, she beat him with the baseball bat and now feared if he got out he would kill her, so she flipped the suitcase over thinking it would help him escape the suitcase to do what kill her ???
In other words, even though they were playing hide and seek? No arguments that night. She was causing issues, to be battered if she let him out after what she was saying to him.
Her lawyer is not going to obey the Judge and he'll bring these no go issues up anyway, causing a mistral.
better to bring up jury nullification.
She's a dumb ass fool, but not an intentional or premeditated/1st degree murderer. 2nd degree murderer? Did she show indifference to human life? Maybe not to his life, but to him bc she viewed him as/he was a jerk and only intended to show a bit of control over him. She was drunk which added to her stupidity and falling asleep before getting him out. Again, her intention was not to leave him in there to suffocate (which I doubt she was bright enough to deduce might happen), but to let him out at some point. She didn't even intend to cause serious bodily harm. It involuntary manslaughter bc she did not intend for him to die or to commit murder/kill him. In FL, the latter charge carries up to 15 yrs, which is probably too long for her crime; however, she's made such a catastrophe for her case by being overbearingly stupid and poor decision-making (which again makes the case for unintentional criminality).
Reads like the Narcissist's prayer.
I don't drink but if I did it's your fault.
I don't get wasted but if I did it's your fault.
I didn't get threatened but if I feel threatened it's your fault.
I didn't let you out but if I didn't it's your fault.
I didn't get murdered asleep in my bed once you got out but if I didn't it's your fault.
I didn't kill you but if I did it's your fault.
I didn't kill you on purpose but if I did it was because you abused me and I was in fear for my life AFTER you were helpless and dying.
Sarah, permanently terrified for her life, thinks it sounds reasonable that she SUGGESTED HE PHONE HIS BROTHER TO INFORM HIM he'd "dragged her down the stairs" the night before. I'm sure that's a REGULAR suggestion all abuse victims who permanently think they're in danger, even when no overt actions are being undertaken, make. Almost sounds like she wasn't in fear of him that night. Hmm.
ABUSE is awful. Abuse is real. Abuse victims should be believed. And it is vile when someone dawns the cloak of abuse to appear innocent.
In my opinion.
Listening to Sarah's explanations and justification, it seems like she's trying to cover all the bases with BSS and accidentally killing him. I'm getting confused lol. It can't be both. It was or wasn't an accident. You can't claim self defense and also claim unintentional accident. She's ridiculous
