Opening Statements will most likely begin on Thursday, October 17th. I’ll be providing gavel to gavel coverage of the trial so get the Law Nerd App to stay in the loop! Boone is charged with Second Degree Murder of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres. She claimed that they were playing around while she was drunk and put him in a suitcase and accidently forgot about him overnight. She called the police after she found him dead from suffocation. The police went through her phone and found a video of Jorge pleading with her to release him from the suitcase because he couldn’t breathe. Boone instead taunted and laughed at Torres. She was arrested in 2020 and has remained in custody. Boone has had 8 public defenders and had to represent herself because she would not work with her appointed representation. Boone put out an advertisement and managed to get a private attorney to take on her case. Last week, she rejected a plea deal for the lesser charge of manslaughter serving 15 years.  Sean Diddy Combs is facing six new civil cases filed against him by attorney Tony Buzbee, with more on the way. These cases will be added to the federal criminal case if there is sufficient evidence. Diddy’s attorney defended his client stating that they have full confidence in the fact that he didn’t do the things claimed in the lawsuits. His attorney’s will most likely claim that Diddy cannot adequately represent himself from the barrage of civil litigation while in custody. We’ll see what the judges will rule in early November.
