Real Lawyer Reacts: Sarah Boone Writes Letter to Her Lawyer, She Knows About His Reprimands 

I became disabled due to an accident some years ago, and subsequently filed a lawsuit. My first attorney reminds me of this one. When my accident occurred, I was a young mom with 3 young children and a full time career. My injuries were devastating, which I still struggle with today. To have to deal with an incompetent lawyer who didn’t believe me, or believe in my case, made everything worse. Luckily, I found another attorney who ended up being a godsend. He was open, honest, intelligent, and most of all, treated me with dignity and compassion. He went to all of my Drs appointments with me, let me cry & vent, answered all of my questions, explained everything that was going to happen, prepared & prepped me for trial; he fought hard for me and my family, and I will be forever grateful to him and his associates. We actually became very good friends. I found your channel during the Depp/Heard trial, and immediately thought how much you remind me of him. You definitely have the same qualities, which not only makes you a great attorney, but also a great human being. Your clients are very lucky!

Yes would like continued coverage on the Sara Boone case. Ty Peter.

Thanks for reading that. Sounds like she’s a better person off the booze. I hope she can turn it around. You are kind and compassionate and that makes for a good attorney! Need more like you! ✌🏻

Don't you wonder about how difficult she is, when she's gone through so many lawyers?

This is really sad. Even if she’s found guilty, she deserves a lawyer who will be sure she gets a fair trial. Thank you for covering all this, Peter!

😳Wow, Peter - I had no idea about these issues! I’m not sympathetic to SB based on her interrogation footage, video evidence, etc. But I absolutely believe she’s entitled to effective counsel and due process. If her allegations here are true, what sort of consequences could this attorney face? 💐

This is the perfect example of why I love your coverage, Peter. No matter the crime, no matter how much we all may detest the accused, it DOES NOT matter--we all have the right to effective legal counsel. I'm so glad you highlighted the importance of that in this video. Your fact driven, un-biased legal perspectives never let me down, and I'm constantly learning something new. Thank you and your team for all your hard work! @Lawyer You Know

How is the judge allowing this to happen?

I realize everyone is all sad for Sarah right now BUT... y'all need to remember that she had a kick all pro bono lawyer she ran off. I commented this on another video so we're all clear: "So, I went through all the docket events for this case. She had a PD(1) who was withdrawn because a private lawyer was added pro bono. Mauricio Padilla out of MIAMI. He did most of the work on this case until April of 2022. In his motion he cited an adversarial relationship between him and Sarah. PD(2) withdrew because of a conflict of interest, PD(3) withdrew because he represented a witness in this case, PD(4) withdrew citing a conflict also, and NOW she has PD(5) who is Frank Bankowitz who was appointed in July." Bankowitz should be responding to Sarah but there IS SOMETHING HAPPENING that's making all these lawyers turn away from her. IDK if it's Sarah or if something else is going on but it's interesting. I've been in the EXACT system Sarah is in. That system was very VERY good to me. SO GOOD TO ME in fact I had to convince a judge to send me to prison for a year. I was addicted to opiates and the only way for me to get clean and stay clean was to be stripped of my own choices. Lowell wasn't so great, but I digress. It's not my experience or the experience of many friends to be completely ignored by counsel. In fact the PDs usually show up at the jail and spend the day talking to inmates. Bankowitz's office isn't that far. All I do know is that I don't think this trial is going to happen when everyone thinks it will.

I am going to piggy back off everyone, as not to repeat. In my own thoughts, I hope you keep us updated with her case and her lawyer's excuses, for keeping her in the blind. No matter what I think about her - personally, I want to see our tax money used wisely. We need to see JUSTICE! That is what USA court system is all about, right? Thank you!

Can she not directly contact the public defenders office to make them aware of what's been happening?

No matter the accused offense, EVERYONE deserves the best defense out there. That HAS to be one of the corner stones of our judicial system, with out the best defense available the system would collapse.

This case is SO compelling. She is a very interesting woman. Im very interested in following this case

I only met with my public "offender" once during my 90 day jail sentence on disorderly conduct charges. I was not allowed to represent myself in video court for two months. In the third month, when I was finally allowed to, I fired my attorney twice and the judge continued to allow him to stalk me. I had been falsely arrested and when the court found out, I was denied discovery in my own trial.

I worked with criminals. Their attorneys often didn't contact them before a hearing. Some met with them literally, 15 minutes before a hearing.

Sara said she’s been incarcerated for 3 years now. How is that a speedy trial? It’s also unfair to Jorge’s family. I’m sure they’d like to see her stand trial and get on with a conviction. Please keep us up to date, Peter. Thank you!

I 1000% agree with her it isn't fair and I put myself in her shoes I couldn't imagine sitting behind bars for 3 years and waiting my trial and sit wondering if my lawyer has my best interest in mind. No matter what she did she should have a fair chance to prove her case.

Wow, what a well-worded, articulate letter. Good for her for cc'ing the judge. Like her/hate her, she has every right to a capable lawyer. His lack of communication is unacceptable.

It is still tough for me to feel sorry for her. If she wanted to get this process going she should just plead guilty and show remorse. She may not of intended to kill him but according to damning video evidence she clearly intended to make him suffer. If you accidentally kill somebody while torturing them, I'm pretty sure that is still murder.

If this is a ploy to get the public to feel sorry for SB or to get her verdict appealed, then it is being done masterfully.

Thank you Peter! Your advice is valuable. People do need to know their rights. We can only hope and trust our doctors and lawyers are competent at what they do. 👍⭐

So happy to catch this live! I'm a forensic science student and your videos are so helpful from a court standpoint.

Can't wait, set my notification to your show. I love watching you, you're so down to earth and speak to us usually on our level not lawyer level haha

It doesn’t matter what she did (innocent until proven guilty) and how horrible it is…she does NOT deserve this and she ABSOLUTELY deserves fair representation. If you don’t agree with that then we have a huge problem because what becomes acceptable for one becomes acceptable for all! Love all of your videos Peter! Definitely looking forward to more coverage on this trial and others!

The unfortunate thing is, is that this happens often. I know someone that didn’t meet his public defender until 15 minutes before court. They barely spoke each time. It’s horrendous how inmates are treated when they can’t afford a paid attorney.

I get the impression these letters were meant for 'publication' and are a setup for an appeal. How are these letters being leaked? Are they part of the court record? Do you, Peter, I have any way of verifying what the other side of this story is? I'd like to hear the other side of the story or at least a little inside information from the other side.

Not a defense lawyer. Not even a lawyer. But what’s supposedly happening to her (lack of communication, etc) horrifies me. If it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone. It’s unacceptable. She’s got a good case for ineffective counsel, IMO.

She’s got me feeling bad for her. No one should be treated like this! 😊

Go to court Peter. Just like Rob and Ian did with Johnny Depp. It made it that much more interesting, to hear an insider’s opinion on the jury and the atmosphere. Good luck on the subs.😊

I 100% agree (and no am I in any way licensed or certified to have any type of reliable opinion when it comes to anything legal/law oriented) but I have kept pretty good coverage as far as reading and learning/listening to new updates in this case and no matter what she truly did/didn’t do-this letter and your explanation truly disappoints me heavily towards our justice system for this case thus far. I also LOVED, and cannot emphasize that past ALL CAPS lol but loved what you said in this video about how you review all medical documents pertaining to all of the cases that you work on where medical documents are pertinent to the case, b/c I personally work in healthcare both on the clinical and administrative side and I have even personally handled so gaining a medical release form and sending pertinent medical records to a patient’s lawyer/legal team for review. So hearing confirmation from a reputable and seasoned lawyer like yourself gives me much more faith that some of the “hoops” that I’ve had to go through to get the correct medical records/documentation for a patient and send to their legal team is all worthwhile (on the broad spectrum) anyways, long* winded comment so sorry!! But love your videos/work Peter and very grateful to be a member of your RU-vid family! ❤️‍🔥

Yay you hit 200k!! Can't wait for the live coverage!

Thank you so much for the time you put into these vids and the livestreams. You are a natural and i hope you never stop. Love watching

Nice penmanship. We've been waiting 3+ years to go to trial for the murder of my brother. It is awful on both sides.✌💜

I think she deserves jail time but it horrifies me that she has not been convicted and is being held for so long. This could easily be any innocent person losing years of their life waiting for a FAIR trial. It also horrifies to think a guilty person could be set free because the system has dropped the ball. On the upside, by the time she does go to trial she will have already served her time if she is convicted. I want to say thank you for this video and explaining it all, but it honestly just scares me! I hope her attorney will catch wind of all of the bad publicity and step up.

Hi Peter!! Finally made a live! I watch you every day!!

This attorney is blowing this case

Terrific work. Thank you, Peter! 👍🏻

This is fascinating. Thank you for covering this case.

This letter is much smarter than I was expecting.

Love your channel. So informative and down to earth. Thank you! Quick question - why did you take the picture with the three crosses down? It’s an awesome picture.

Will be part of the rewatch crew on this video due to time difference

She deserves competent legal representation regardless.

I can’t believe it! I finally made a live! I’ve been so wrapped up in the flood damage and it’s after effects I’m rarely here now.

Love watching your show. Excited to follow along with you on the Murdaugh trial to hear your comments/feedback.

Thank you for continuing to cover this

Good job! Thanks

Thanks Peter!!

You have a gift for explaining the LAW! Your energy is amazing! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world. Drinking and abuse is never good.

Hey Peter, love the channel. Found you from Grizzly...love the collaborations. Been digging through your Sarah Boone playlist, what a fascinating case.

Thank you for raising awareness Peter! I had no idea that our justice system is such a hot mess 💔

Peter...you attending her Trial and then coming back to let us know details about the Jurors would be AMAZING. ..Their gender/nationality/aprox age and their body language and face expressions reactions......❤

Why did all the other lawyers motion to get off the case?

Rewatch crew here. Great analysis as usual, Peter!

Thank you Peter for going over this with us

Thank you Peter. This was nice.

Thanks Peter

Thks!

No one has mentioned that she has went through six lawyers and she could not get alone with any of them.

That was a very good letter to send to the lawyer and the judge! She deserves proper counsel and this is not ok. I would be terrified and furious if this happened to me.

I agree with you on this...even though I don't care for her, she hasn't been represented fairly and I think her letter stated her concerns well!

Thank you 😊

Her handwritten is really nice.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Peter has to say! I'm sure it's going to be interesting

I feel bad for SB. No matter what she said in her interrogation she still deserves better than what she’s getting. It has to be maddening to be in jail and unable to work on a proper defense.

You're right

Ooooo I actually caught a live!!!!

Watching the replay, I am blown away this is happening in our Justice system. I can not imagine something like this with BK’s case in Idaho. How the heck does this even happen???!! I’m so grateful in finding your channel Peter and learning our rights as Citizens of the USA! And now I know that ethical defense lawyers do exist and protect our rights.

I didn't think I could feel badly for Sarah Boone, but she deserves a lawyer that at least does their job. This is how lawyers get a bad name.

Somehow I missed this video. All I can say is WOW!

Great channel. 🎉🌸

If this is true, I would personally feel that after all that time of reaching out to my lawyer and not getting any type of response from him, I would (1) see if I can get a new lawyer assigned to me, if that’s even allowed, and (2) if not, I would be very nervous and skeptical about him defending me. He isn’t doing what he is supposed to be doing on my behalf. Thank you Peter for covering this and I hope we reach our goal so that you’ll attend some of the hearings!

I agree with yo 100%.

I really hope you get to 200k I want inside the courtroom LYK!

Thank you for all this information I feel so bad for her

Thank you for covering this case I am very interested in this one. This is horrifying that SB has spent 3 years in prison and not even had any council. That to me is just wrong. There is no reason for it 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

This lawyers lack of actions is as bad as her lack of actions letting Jorge out of the suitcase.

Am I the only one surprised at how well written and nicely printed the letter was? I wouldn’t expect that, for some reason.

I've been following this one since it first video.

You're the best!

Her penmanship, vocabulary and grammar are on point .

You know her attorney is making puns about her. "Zip it, SB". Tha "law suit-case"... "My lack of communication? Unintentional"

Thank you Peter for reviewing this letter and for your insights. I am so frustrated that this is happening-and disappointed in this lawyer and perhaps the judge. Please continue to cover this case.

This seems to be a very articulate, intelligent letter stating her concerns. I hope the judge follows through and handles this. Guilty or not she deserves professional courtesy. Maybe this could be grounds for appeal if she is found guilty.

There is possible audio recordings from her talking on the phone we don't know about - I'm what she said on the phone - jails keep those - and she is getting communication with other that also are recorded - interesting

I agree with your Peter! Our system needs to do better. Of course I’m not saying she is innocent but how will we ever know of her case keeps slipping through. Now I am to wonder if that’s why we have some inmates who are innocent but could never prove it until years later due to attorneys not caring enough about their job. Thank you for educating us in what how our system needs to properly work for everyone.

My son experienced this.

This is a mess and he should be held accountable for this behavior! The court needs to address this quickly! I do not care who it is this is unacceptable and unjust! The Appellate Court should address this injustice if it is aloud to continue and not addresses! You have it on point! Love your channel and thank you!

Q: Since this is being sent to the Judge as well, will he have a say on it & what can he do about the lawyer? This is so scary. She sounds very smart & comprehensive toward her own case. And the lawyer should be doing his job.

If true, no one deserves this type of service and treatment.

You have a great thing going on here. I imagine you have law students watching and listening. They're learning from a good source. I am learning a bit myself, although I am just your average subscriber.

Peter can this lawer be sanctioned for neglecting this case?

Love the purple microphone 💕🌴🦩

Wow! I wonder if this happens to many or only a few?

One thing I will give Sarah. She is very very smart. No matter what every person deserves a FAIR trial. This is insane

Peter, can this lawyer be brought-up on charges for signing her rights away without her consent? I think he should be. Thank you

She's been sitting in county jail for three years in February. Darrell Brooks went to trial in less than 12 months. Almost no chance her attorney is going to get the message and address her case properly given he's been ignoring obvious red flags that she's a bar complaint about to happen as well as ineffective assistance of counsel. I have no idea how she has been missing pre trials given this is a felony and ususlly the courts require her appearance which suggests the judge has also lost control of the case. She's going to have a good appeal.

200,000 subscribers! Please go to the trial! We need to know more and she receives a fair trial. Her crime was committed, but still has a right for a fair trial! Waiver of appearance? Wow! It’s Her right, and he is waiving her rights! Plus no communication! What is this judge doing for this ?? Thanks for covering this in detail Peter!!!

Thanks Peter for the update. As much as I feel bad that she doesn't seem to be being represented properly, I hate the end of her letter "my truth." There is only one truth, and that's "the truth," not "my truth!"

Lawyer You Know, take the case! Time for you to step up!

You better be ready to get to court! #team200
