Sarah Boone Jury Selection Begins as Attorneys Bash Her Cockamamie Defense

#STSNation, 

Welcome to another episode of Surviving The Survivor, the podcast that brings you the #BestGuests in all of True Crime… 

Last week, a chaotic day unfolded in court as multiple technical issues delayed the latest hearing in the case of Sarah Boone, who is accused of zipping her boyfriend into a suitcase and leaving him to die. 

Boone remained silent in the courtroom while the judge attempted to address trial case management issues with the state and her new attorney, James Owens. However, Owens encountered several difficulties with the video call, leading to a confusing exchange. 

"Judge?" Owens repeatedly asked, prompting the judge, Kraynick, to respond, "Yes sir, we can hear you." 

Boone’s trial is set to begin on October 7. 

#BestGuests: 

The law office of Jessica Mishali, P.A. in Boca Raton Florida, representing client all over south Florida started my own practice after about a decade of representing the indigent, and took over a family practice from former state representative Stephen J Press in 2018. I’ve successfully handled many high profile cases, most recently Marcia Thompson, a not guilty verdict last month on a first degree murder case. I’ve been commenting on court TV regularly ever since. I handle all criminal and Family law cases but My niche is where family law and criminal Law meet: domestic violence, self defense, injunctions, etc. (grew up in Miami, FIU, Touro law in NY) 

Mark NeJame received both his Bachelor's Degree and his Juris Doctorate from the University of Florida. He graduated from UF’s, College of Law, in 1980. He is based primarily in Central Florida with his main office in Orlando. His firm has other satellite offices in Central Florida. He has routinely handled both state and federal cases and clients throughout Florida, having practiced in numerous counties throughout the state as well as in all of Florida’s federal district courts; the Middle, Northern, and Southern U.S. Districts.

As a state attorney for 15 years, Ryan managed criminal matters that included everything from high-profile murders to heart-wrenching child abuse and sex trafficking cases. This day-in and day-out experience of handling a wide variety of complex cases required him to be a quick study and exposed him to a vast network of attorneys, judges, and experts offering technical and detailed testimony. Intensive on-the-job training left Ryan with the ability to effectively navigate the complexities of the court system, while boldly representing his litigation clients on the grounds of what is fair, just, right, and good. 

He is admitted to the Florida Bar and the Supreme Court of Ohio. 

Ryan holds a B.A. Degree from the University of Central Florida (UCF). After UCF, he attended Nova Southeastern University – Shepard Broad Law Center, earning his J.D degree. He was also active in the Nova Law Review and served as the Honor Court Chief Prosecutor.
