Full transcript with timestamps

0:05 hey folks welcome back so today we got to talk about the sentencing of old Sarah Boon you probably saw but a couple days ago Boon was sentenced to life in prison that's life that's what all the narcissist with baseball bats say oh the fact that she got life makes the decision to turn down the manslaughter plea deal which would have had her home in 8 years officially the dumbest decision I've ever seen regarding a court

0:48 case you know when someone does something really dumb and they kill themselves they get nominated for a Darwin Award because they removed themselves from the genan pool I feel like Sarah should be nominated for a justice system Darwin Award for turning down the plea deal that's where you make a decision so dumb you remove yourself from the freedom pool what do you think I think that could be something gain some traction another funny thing about turning down the plea deal is it's not like it was ever in question that Sarah did it or caused it it's not like she was on the other side of the state going you don't understand I wasn't even there they're trying to pin something on on me that I didn't do and out of pure human principle I will not admit to something that I didn't do I didn't have anything to do with it Sarah you're admitting that you zipped him up into the suitcase didn't help him when he tried to help

1:44 himself you hit his hands with a baseball bat while crying out stop doing this to me why are you doing this to me and it's too much for your ego to have the whole thing chocked up as manslaughter but that kind of some Sarah up right the complete and total mindboggling inability to take any blame or responsibility for anything and another thing I've been thinking about since the trial at least according to Sarah who knows if it's true but at least according to Sarah their first date George and Sarah's first date consisted of George breaking her phone hitting her holding her captive on her back porch in the fetal position for so long her back hurt and threatening to sodomizer that was their first date and we know how the relationship ended fortunately as we know relationships some end really tragically like this but I've never heard of one that ends tragically but also starts this bad and I think it's safe to say

2:52 that George and Sarah are in the running for the worst love story of all time by Nancy broy all right so let's get into the sentencing remarks that's why we're all here Sarah sentencing remarks were in the back half George's families read impact statements it was rough I could barely even get through his mom's statements but then it was finally Sarah's turn her remarks were broken up into three different sections the first one was a she read a written statement she said it was an edit version but it still took her almost 15 minutes to read and so the written statement and then after she read that she did what she calls an apology and she with that one she just spoke from the cold heart and then the last part was her lawyer asked her to talk about how she's rekindled her relationship with the Lord and so the first chunk the written part in Sarah's head she structured it as a list of people and things that she

4:05 forgives she's on this big forgiveness kick now so that's what it was in her head what it really is is just Sarah bitterly lashing out and saying all of the things she thought she should have been able to say during the trial but couldn't because of things like relevancy and evidence and stuff like that and so she took that opportunity to be like I forgive the Torres family for not doing something to stop me from torturing and murdering George I forgive George who was a monster so that's the kind of the way it read one thing that I forgot to talk about was at the beginning of Sarah's written section the I forgive all of you for not stopping me from doing this section she invoked the wisdom of Kent to suoy and I feel like you could hear an audible eye roll from the whole courtroom when you got into it like really Sarah you're going with the kentu suoy thing and what kentu suoy is is when a ceramic pot breaks you fix it

5:10 using gold which Embraces the flaws and the end result a new beautiful piece of art emerges and so she started the whole thing with a metaphor about how through all of this Sarah has emerged a new beautiful piece of art that Embraces her flaws wow whoa another thing I was thinking of since I recorded the first part is if this wouldn't have happened and Sarah and George were still together probably at some point Sarah's son would have asked Sarah mommy what did you and George do on your first date um we went and played miniature golf and got ice cream it was beautiful anywh who how's your homework going kid Sarah is one of my favorite types of bad writers because she is supremely confident she's a good writer so she really goes for it there's no self-consciousness in her writing but she makes the same mistake a lot of bad Writers Do which she's convinced good writing is just jamming as many eloquent

6:31 impressive words into a terrible sentence as possible and then voila there you go good writing man I'm a good writer but it just sounds terrible like sentences like my apology is peruse and ceaseless or my opportunities to be given a fair proper and unflued successful conclusion was heavily depleted and poisoned like you know Sarah's the type of writer to use prior to instead of before huh prior to I'm a good writer and um so who did she forgive she forgave the torah's family for essentially being monsters according to her and raising a monster in George and not doing anything to stop her from doing this she forgives George for doing all of the things that her and her lawyer attacked George George's character for during the trial she reiterated that she forgives all of us on social media that unfairly made her into a pariah and like I said uh poisoned her ability to have a successful conclusion or whatever she

7:47 was trying to say with that one she forgives herself she forgives the justice system the scoundrel detectives it was all the scoundrel detectives fault they tricked me they tricked me thought that was funny imagine the face of the detective she's watching the I'm sure she was watching the sentencing somewhere at the part when she was like I forgive the scoundrel detectives and it just came off as one big delusional bitter woman up there doing her final you know it's the last time anyone has to listen to this lady or care about anything that she says and can't imagine and I really do think that she was stunned that the jury found her guiltiest charged and I think she was stunned again when the judge read the sentence for life I think she thought she was going to get up there and do her read her statement and like at the end she was like humbly in my softspoken voice I say this I think she thought she

8:56 was going to go up there with that tone my softspoken voice I'm an I'm the abused one of her last points was what if I would have been the one that died would I have been a celebrated mother I always think that's funny the argument of what if the thing that didn't happen happened huh what then I don't know Sarah that's not no one has thought about that because this is the situation that's happened and Sarah really forgive forgave herself for a while about not leaving she said I wish I would have taken my own life in my own hands and left earlier and all this stuff and what Sarah one of the most interesting things about the whole thing is Sarah doesn't realize she couldn't leave one she's codependent and two she has this delusion that she's an impressively high functioning adult and in order to have that delusion work she has to be with someone but be with someone that's not going to make her

10:08 feel like she's blowing it because they're more high functioning than she is that's why she was so unhel unhappy before she left her ex-husband because compared to her ex-husband she was tanking in every possible category that you can tank in and so her self-con her self-esteem went through the floor because compared to her ex everything that she did she just felt like she was coming up short so she talks about how horrible George is and he's a monster and that he ruined her life and the Torres family ruined her life and everything but as wild as it sounds George actually checks all of the boxes that Sarah needs for the whole thing to work like she needs somebody you'd have to date a violent alcoholic if you're Sarah because if you weren't a violent alcoholic it would be impossible to date Sarah so that checks that box and then she almost needed someone that depended on her which again that's not easy to find

11:15 Once You' Fallen as far down as Sarah was Fallen because you really could have made a better argument for battered spouse for George it was Sarah's car at any moment when she was in her car alone she could have just driven off and left and and also not too many people are that are in abusive relationships have their ex-husband's house a minute or two away and he wasn't thrilled about it but he had said he's fine with if they were in a violent altercation he was all right with Sarah coming over and sleeping there and then it gets into Financial that's like the one one little thing that Sarah was holding over George is she got a thousand bucks a month from the divorce and so she could hold George captive of a roof over his head I mean technically he could have gone back and lived with his parents or his family but once you're into addiction as far as George it's hard to go ah I need somewhere to hey parents I need

12:25 somewhere to live but then how do you drink all day without he was lying to parents saying no the drinking's getting better I'm working on it and stuff so it would have really highlighted how bad it was going and so he was stuck the roof over his head the food but also his adct they were both you know really in the throws of alcohol addiction and so if he leaves Sarah the craving and need part of the addiction cycle would have been coming up quick and if you don't if what's he going to ask his family for and so in a lot of ways George was the one that was trapped he didn't have any money he didn't have a car he didn't have an ex that allowed him to come over and stay the night if it got bad he didn't have enough money to keep his addiction going and so probably even subconsciously he thought he couldn't leave and so like a lot of things that Sarah flips in her mind this situation is almost the total

13:24 opposite than the case that they tried to they tried tried to put forth and I mean it's hard to almost explain it's like so intricate but it makes sense to me why she couldn't leave George she's just a codependent and she he checked all the box that fit into her bizarre lifestyle all right where am I at let's see if I got anything else this one might be a short one it's like what else do I got to say about this lady all right folks I think that that's it I'll see you next time we're definitely going to talk about the CEO that what the health um the insurance company CEO they got shot in Midtown Manhattan I've been following that one very closely how Wild is that but that's coming up next I'll see you next time why Sten why sh
