  • Resumen

  • In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," the focus is on Sarah Boone, known as the "suitcase murderer," who is accused of causing her boyfriend's death by locking him in a suitcase while intoxicated. Boone has cycled through eight public defenders, each claiming they cannot work with her due to her non-cooperative behavior. The judge, frustrated with her constant rejection of legal representation, has now mandated that she defend herself. Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor and defense attorney, explains that while everyone is entitled to a defense, repeatedly rejecting appointed counsel can lead to the forfeiture of that right. This could potentially create appellate issues later, but limitations exist on the right to counsel. Boone has even advertised for a new attorney in a bizarre, circus-like poster, which has not helped her case. Faddis discusses the difficulties attorneys face in dealing with uncooperative clients and notes that the judge has to balance Boone’s right to representation with the practicality of court proceedings. The conversation also highlights a video Boone recorded of her boyfriend's distress while trapped in the suitcase, which is expected to be pivotal evidence against her. Faddis speculates on the outcome, doubting that Boone will find an attorney willing to take on her case under her conditions and emphasizing the importance of competent legal counsel for her situation.
