Location
Orange County, Florida
In the State's opening, Mr. Jay described a February 23, 2020, video recorded in Orange County showing Jorge Torres zipped inside a suitcase; the court instructed that opening statements were not evidence. Sarah Boone later testified that she had lived in the county since childhood.
About
The State placed the suitcase video in Orange County as part of its allegation that Boone confined Torres to punish him and left him to die; that account was an opening argument, not evidence.
