Welcome back. It's time for a case brief, keeping you in the loop with the cases you care about most,

just more briefly. If you want the full coverage, it's linked in the description below. But for now,

let's get into it. We are going to talk real quick about what's going on in Florida with Sarah Boone.

For those of you that are just like, what is the Saraboon case? I covered the Saraboon trial.

It was another Florida case that ran quite long, loved the judge the Sarah Boone case? I covered the Saraboon trial. It was another Florida

case that ran quite long, loved the judge. Sarah Boone has gone through innumerable

attorneys. For a period, she was representing herself, then an attorney parachuted in for trial,

and then parachuted right back out for appeal. She was convicted of second degree murder

for zipping her boyfriend

into a suitcase and leaving him there. Her entire defense was based around, not intentionally.

I didn't intend for him to die. Yes, second-degree murder. The intent is not an element.

You did the thing. The intentional was the zipping

into the suitcase. And then she was videoing herself, mocking him while he was telling her that he was

unable to breathe inside that suitcase. It went to trial. She was convicted. Second degree murder

in Florida is also a life case. I don't know if she understood that or if she just thought that, look, I'm going to keep telling you that I excel at everything I do and it wasn't intentional and you're going to believe me. The jury did not believe her. And at sentencing, she was still trying to get something out of the judge, hoping she wasn't going to get a life period sentence. And then after sentencing, she was like, oh, you know what? I'm going to tell you what. And then she sent to the court the unredacted statement that she wanted to make it sentencing, telling the judge and all the lawyers what she thought of them. I think after we saw all the evidence, going after a second was restrained. So, in one of the greatest miscalculations that I think we have seen because the state was

actually willing to work with her and she was not willing to work with them.

She was convicted and sentenced to life.

She is now going through the appellate process.

The last time we covered it, she had written a letter to the court saying, hey, I haven't heard from my

lawyer. And BT-dubs, I have people contacting my lawyer every single day. Like, there are people

blowing up my lawyer's phone every single day. And the lawyer did miss a deadline, got an extended

deadline, and then is asking for another extended deadline.
