The Florida woman convicted of zipping her boyfriend in a suitcase and leaving him to suffocate to death while trapped inside has been sentenced to life in prison.

Sarah Boone, 47, learned her fate in an Orlando courtroom on Monday, Dec. 2, more than a month after she was found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Jorge Torres, Jr., 42.

Torres was found dead on the morning of Feb. 24, 2020, inside a suitcase in the couple's Winter Park apartment.

Boone claimed the two were playing a drunken game of hide-and-seek. On the stand in her own defense, she claimed the two found it "funny" that the 5-foot 2-inch Torres could fit inside the suitcase.

While he was inside, she zipped the suitcase closed and captured parts of the chilling incident in two videos she recorded on her phone that night.

In the videos, Torres can be heard begging her to let him out of the suitcase, proclaiming that he "can't breathe."

Claiming that Torres had been abusive to her before, she testified during her trial that she decided this would be a good time to talk frankly to him since Torres ?was not able to get out."

Boone laughed while Torres pleaded to be let out of the suitcase. ?For everything you've done to me," she says, going on to compare Torres' suffocation to how she feels when he cheats on her or chokes her.

When Torres managed to get his hand outside of the suitcase, she picked up a baseball bat and hit his hand with it until he put it back inside, testifying that she feared he was ?going to break out of the suitcase. (Yahoo)
