Maddie Soto case: Life in prison for Stephan Sterns
Stephan Sterns was sentenced to multiple life sentences in prison without the possibility of parole in the sexual assault and murder of Madeline Soto, part of a plea deal that avoided two public trials and removed the death penalty as a potential penalty. Sterns pleaded no contest to first-degree murder in the disappearance and death of 13-year-old Madeline and guilty to several counts of sexual abuse. A Florida judge accepted the plea deal and adjudicated Sterns guilty, before sentencing him to multiple life sentences in prison. Lauren Cadilac, attorney at Cadilac Law, joins FOX 35 News+ to talk about the plea deal.
