​@@kallen868The hide and go seek game IS BS isn't it? Sarah probably played hide and go seek with her son at her apartment when he was there, that's where she got the lie from / saying that she and Jorge were playing it. She coerced him to get in to that suitcase to see if he could fit in it, he did and we all know what happened from there. Master manipulator. Dangerous woman. Jorge was her child size wise..that she could control and manipulate. He was dependent on her for every thing. Add her being a controlling narcissist and his drinking and its a disaster waiting to happen. Its too bad the state didn't provide a mannequin the same size as Jorge and have Sarah demonstrate how Jorge was positioned in the suitcase by having her manipulate the mannequin into the suitcase infront of the jury and then have her zip it up. The state had plenty of time to locate one. Not much work into doing that. That would've been an eye full for the jury to actually see a figure Jorge's size in the same suitcase.

Funny to me how she remembers minute details about zipping him up, but told the police she didn't remember videotaping twice, to show him the next day. VERY selective memory.

Nothing excuses what she did, but for a long time people seemed to say eff her in a different way, by ignoring all the abuse. Messy all around. Sad all around.

@@bexxgenx3165 she abused her exhusband too. He’s not a small man and never hit her back but he admitted to the police that she physically abused him. We don’t know if Jorge was retaliating or the aggressor. He was 5’2 and 103 pounds. Apparently the had 30 pounds on him. She had the upper hand in that she had an income and he did not. She had transportation and he did not. We now know she held his ID and birth certificate hostage so that he could not cash his paycheck. This is while he is staying at his mother’s house after she kicked him out. That’s financial abuse. So, I believe she was more awful than him. He just didn’t video it. However, in the end she recorded herself doing worse to him than she ever received. It’s not like Sarah was this wholesome emotionally stable loving person before Jorge. She was a crap mother, she was abusive to her spouse, she’s controlling and manipulative and a liar. Some of her injuries could have come from falling down drunk. She laughed at him while he was suffocating. She was the abuser and he fought back.

It was at that time that Sarah (while supposedly doing CPR) that she said Jorge made the “gurgling” noise.

[@artphotognh]

He had been dead for at least 9 hours when she claimed he "gurgled" - it could have been decomp gasses making noise after she removed him from the suitcase.
