Every Single Sarah Boone Letter In Chronological Order (compilation) | dreading

Brief Summary:
This video dives into the remarkable saga of Sarah Boone's prison letters, tracing her journey from her initial arrest for the murder of Jorge Torres to her ultimate conviction and life sentence. Through the lens of detailed correspondence, we witness Sarah's relentless attempts to control her legal narrative, her repeated conflicts with eight different attorneys, and her persistent claims of injustice and victimhood. The video exposes how Sarah's self-perception clashes with reality, resulting in years of legal delays and, ultimately, her forfeiture of the right to counsel.


1. The Crime and Initial Character Portrait

The story begins with a recounting of Sarah Boone's arrest and the disturbing circumstances leading up to it. Sarah, after a toxic and abusive relationship with her boyfriend Jorge Torres, is charged with second-degree murder when Jorge suffocates inside a suitcase during a supposed game of hide-and-seek—a game Sarah initiated, all while filming Jorge's final pleas for help.

Sarah portrays herself as a model citizen:

"I am a loving mother, a great wife, and a pillar in my own community."

But the narrator quickly dispels this self-image, explaining that, in reality, Sarah's life in adulthood was dominated by alcoholism, irresponsibility, and tumultuous relationships. She clung to her "straight A student" validation from decades ago, despite a record of domestic disturbances and escalating dysfunction.

As the investigation unfolds, it's clear Sarah and Jorge's relationship was mutually abusive, but the evidence (including the video she recorded) inexorably points to Sarah's direct responsibility for Jorge's death. She is arrested, charged, and held without bail.


2. The Legal Saga: Letters to the Judge and Attorneys

2.1. The First Letters: Denial, Narcissism, and Vocabulary Displays

Sarah's first letter to Judge Wooten comes after learning her attorney, Mauricio Padilla, filed to withdraw from her case. She is stunned and feels betrayed, writing in elaborate, almost theatrical language:

"I am blindsided... I am graciously requesting and present please at this hearing... to explain the ongoing legitimate hindrances I have been facing..."

The video highlights Sarah's tendency to use unnecessarily complex words in an effort to appear more intelligent and earnest than she is. Her repeated appeals for "fighting for my truth" are critiqued as self-serving and delusional in the context of overwhelming evidence against her.

She believes that if she can just "talk to the judge alone," all will be remedied—in her mind, everyone else is simply misunderstanding her.

2.2. The Endless Play for Control

Soon, a new lawyer, Frank Benowitz, is assigned. Sarah's letters to him are demanding and impatient:

"As of today, October 3rd, you've been my court-appointed attorney for almost 3 months... only spoken to me three times."

Despite Benowitz and later attorneys explaining their caseloads, Sarah refuses to accept any delays or boundaries. She expects daily updates and is blind to the fact that cycling through six attorneys in two years is itself evidence of unworkability.

"I am patient... still smiling... I am willing to go above and beyond, whatever we need to do... to state my very misunderstood side of everything."

Yet, her actions—constant calls, berating letters, and escalating complaints—contradict the patience she claims to have.


3. Escalating Conflicts and Judicial Warnings

3.1. Turning on the Judge

As months pass, Sarah's tone toward Judge Wooten grows less deferential. In her third letter, she begins to blame the judge directly for her attorney's lack of communication, even implying a conspiracy:

"Where the hell is my goddamn attorney, bro?"
"Am I being penalized for wanting to be fully involved in everything in my case...?"

The judge, for his part, repeatedly explains that rotating through countless attorneys or being included in every procedural hearing is not the norm nor her right. Still, Sarah interprets every procedural setback as intentional sabotage and injustice.

3.2. The Numbers Game and Victimhood

Sarah fixates on keeping a numerical tally of hours, meetings, letters, and missed communications:

"Total hours represented by Frank J. Bankowitz: 3,528 and counting. Total hours spent with client Sarah Boone: 2. Where is my attorney? Where are you?"

The repeated motif is that everyone else—her lawyers, the judge, the justice system, even the global Internet—is out to get her while she alone stands for "truth" and "fairness."


4. Conspiracy Theories and the Drive for Special Treatment

4.1. Social Media and Public Scrutiny

Sarah expresses outrage that her case has become a spectacle online. She complains about Florida's "Sunshine Laws" that render her letters, case files, and even body-cam footage public:

"The premature unfair judgment by everyone has wrongfully and inappropriately already been made. I haven't even seen my discovery!"

Despite evidence to the contrary, she insists this exposure means she can never get a fair trial.

4.2. Each New Attorney: Conflict and Fallout

Each time a new attorney is appointed, the cycle repeats: initial optimism, escalating demands, impatience, harsh complaints, and then withdrawal—citing "irreconcilable differences" due to Sarah's hostile, controlling, and aggressive behavior.

When denied further replacement attorneys, she quips:

"Please help Banowitz wipe the sweat from his brow and inform him that he can stop the self-sabotage. He is no longer my attorney. Amen. My perseverance is real. So is my truth."

Her delusion extends to believing that the lawyers, the judge, and the entire legal system are in a coordinated effort to keep her silenced and oppressed.


5. The System Responds: Loss of Right to Counsel

After the withdrawal of her eighth attorney, the court finally rules that Sarah has forfeited the right to court-appointed counsel. The judge notes her persistent, antagonistic behavior renders any client-attorney relationship impossible:

"It has become apparent to the court that defendant will not permit herself to be represented by anyone."

The ruling details the extensive history of conflict, warnings, and Sarah's inability to collaborate with any defense team.

Sarah then pivots to writing advertisements for a new attorney to "save" her, ignoring the fact that the court's decision cannot simply be reversed with a heartfelt ad:

"Looking for a prosperous challenge! Show the world who you are with your original creativity... An epic opportunity awaits. Invest in the oppressed. Believe."


6. The Final Letters: Sentencing and Unrepentant Self-Pity

6.1. Life Sentence and Unfiltered "Forgiveness"

After her conviction and life sentence, Sarah writes a 28-page letter to Judge Kraik. No longer even calling him "Honorable," she now directs passive-aggressive tirades at him, her former lawyers, prosecutors, media, and even the victim's family.

She brands herself a martyr and survivor:

"I am not a murderer. I am a survivor. Sarah Boon."

She offers "forgiveness" to everyone she feels has wronged her, reciting long lists of grievances against her attorneys:

"Frank J. Bankowitz is forgiven for his greed in taking $15,000... for doing nothing, justifying any work he really did do..."

She laces her statement with legal dictionary definitions, poetry, and appeals for sympathy, juxtaposed with denials of responsibility and fresh attacks on those involved in her prosecution.

6.2. Appeals and Final Self-Justification

Sarah ends her correspondence with grand plans to appeal, a pseudo-inspirational metaphor about Japanese golden pottery (kintsugi), and an overt insistence that she is the true victim:

"I didn't lose. God just wanted me to win in a different way. Freedom is forgiveness."

Even when apologizing, she cannot bring herself to express real remorse. Instead, she demands forgiveness, justifying her actions and asserting that her suffering trumps all other considerations.


7. Analysis and Takeaways

The video's narrator punctuates the reading of Sarah's letters with commentary that highlights key patterns:

  • Extreme Narcissism: Sarah's self-image never wavers from "high-achieving, misunderstood victim."
  • Delusions of Victimhood: She internalizes every negative outcome as proof of a conspiracy against her rather than the natural consequences of her behavior.
  • Manipulation Fails: Her attempts at flattery, verbose language, and even open hostility do not win her allies; instead, they repel everyone tasked with helping her.
  • Rejection of Responsibility: At no point does Sarah accept that her own actions led to her predicament. Whether discussing jail, abusive relationships, or her trial, someone else is always to blame.
  • Systemic Patience: Despite years of Sarah's obstructive behavior, the court and her legal defenders exhaust every option to provide fair representation, only ending when continuation becomes impossible.

"There is no way you can explain away locking someone in a suitcase and leaving them to die. All the while recording them and laughing as they plead for you to let them out."


8. The Outcome

The video closes by detailing Sarah's conviction for second-degree murder and life sentence. She is left unrepresented and isolated, still sending out self-aggrandizing letters, unable to recognize that she—not the system, the lawyers, or society—is the architect of her downfall.

"At every possible instance, Sarah has been told that she is in the wrong and that every single instinct that she has is bad... and instead of having any bit of self-awareness, she just still blames everyone else."


Final Thoughts

Sarah Boone's story, as revealed through her own words and the responses of the justice system, is an astonishing study in denial, narcissism, and the limits of self-deception. Through years of legal maneuvering, endless complaints, and repeated cycles of conflict, she manages to delay her own reckoning—yet ultimately cannot escape accountability. Her saga stands as a sobering reminder that no matter how elaborate the excuse or how fervent the self-belief, actions have consequences.

📝 Key Takeaways:

  • No amount of eloquent letter writing or manipulation can erase clear evidence or substitute for self-awareness.
  • Repeated attempts to avoid responsibility only compound negative outcomes.
  • The justice system, though patient, cannot function when a defendant is terminally uncooperative.
  • True change comes only from honest self-reflection—a lesson Sarah, despite endless words, never truly learns.
