ORLANDO, Fla. (Court TV) — In what feels like a scene out of the movie ‘Groundhog Day,’ Sarah Boone has once again found herself without an attorney and has written a letter to the judge asking for help.
Boone is charged with second-degree murder in the death of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres, who died after he was zipped inside of a suitcase. Boone told police that she put him in the luggage as part of a game of hide-and-seek that went wrong.

Winston Hobson, the seventh in a string of attorneys who have represented Boone, filed a motion to withdraw on Thursday, citing “irreconcilable differences including, but not limited to, ethical considerations.” Hobson was appointed to represent Boone after her sixth attorney, Frank Bankowitz, withdrew from her case in August , telling the judge that he could not represent a client who called him a “dud” and “buffoon.”
