The State Attorney will seek the death penalty against Stephan Sterns, the man accused of murdering Florida teenager, Maddie Soto. Maddie had just celebrated her 13th birthday when she was reported missing on February 26. Sterns was charged days later with a sex crime related to Maddie. Nearly two months later, Sterns was charged with murdering Maddie. Law&Crime’s Angenette Levy looks at why the prosecutor said he will pursue the death penalty against Sterns in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

get Jen Soto to buy a 1 way plane ticket to Vietnam. Then we will really see if the feds have enough evidence to make an arrest 🤣
If jenn does get charged she wont get as bad a charge as stephen but she MUST STILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!! SHE LET THAT MONSTER TOUCH HER DAUGHTER
It’s clear as mud the mom failed her daughter and should face serious charges allowable
Never bring a man into your home without being sure of his nature if you have an underage daughter who still lives with you.
Florida again…..
My question is, they have surveillance footage of his car and him with Maddie in it coming and going places like the apartment complex, what about Jens car and when she came and went?
I remember one of stearns friends speaking earlier in the investigation and he said both stearns and Jennifer were into kinky stuff so I don’t think she’s entirely the beleaguered naive woman she makes out to be. She knew! And who took the pictures? I don’t believe he took them all himself.
Blame it on the mother especially.
What kind of mother allowed their teenage daughter to sleep with a disgusting man??
The mother was complicit and did nothing to protect her daughter! I bet she had some idea what was going on, but turned a blind eye.
Sick!
Mother is just as guilty. She needs accessory at the very least just based on the facts of them sleeping in the same bed. She is no mother she is a monster
Some people do not deserve to have kids 😢
What absolutely destroys me is that there is no way the mother had no inkling of what was happening . HOW DO U NOT KNOW UR DAUGHTER IS BEING SA’ED BY UR BOYFRIEND? Like it’s way more likely she knew and didn’t care to do anything about it to keep him happy . So disgusted I hope they get her mom too
She needs be prosecuted. She gave her daughter to him 😞 how sad.
That poor child❤
There's no way Jen didn't know any of this was going on, and she was even telling Stephan to go sleep in the bed with her. She showed little to no emotion while Maddie was missing, I don't think she cared about her own daughter. She most likely saw her as competition and felt relieved that she was no longer around to steal her boyfriend's attention. I can't wait until they gather enough evidence to slap charges on her for child endangerment.
I'm glad it's not longer required to be unanimous.
Usual suspects in these cases…..
Wow.. so freaking sad man! I don't understand what people get out of killing kids!🤬
You gotta be a real POS to kill a 13 year old girl , when she wakes up in the morning, brushes her teeth, and gets ready for school to learn and see her friends, not knowing that the person she called "dad" was going to kill her that morning..🥲 mom's plz watch your little girls around their so called "stepfather" hate to say that but I've heard way too much of this coming from the step parent..
The mother needs to be charged 😠
The guys in the county shouldn't let him get to trial
The mom had to have known her daughter was already missing.
And maybe Maddie didn’t want to be seen with her “step dad” because he said she was particular about what car she gets out of at her school. Maybe she didn’t want to be seen with him.
She clearly lied about seeing Maddie that morning ao she at least be charged with providing false statements and hindering an investigation.
What the ever loving f*ck is wrong with that woman to let that man anywhere near her child, let alone to tell them to go sleep together alone in a bed in another room?! 😡 and it sounds like she defended him and helped him cover it up after the fact. As a mother, your primary responsibility and your entire life is to protect your children. She failed miserably.
Where is Maddie's father during all of this?
The mom is straight up naive and delusional… Live in her own head like an air head. Her job was more important than her daughter
This whole case is horrifying. Justice for Maddie!
It was reported one time early on that Jenn had been admitted to a mental facility. Not sure if that was voluntary or required. Nothing else has been mentioned.
They should arrest the mom. She served her daughter up on a silver platter to this POS.
Was ist denn die für eine Mutter?!!!! Ihr Lover ist einer, der x- mal Kinder unter 12 belästigt hat? Und den lässt sie mit ihrer Tochter ALLEINE? Womöglich hat sie ihre Tochter dem Kerl angeboten, damit er nur ja bei ihr bleibt??? W t f
Die hat kein Herz oder kein Hirn.
Her mom is fugly…. But the daughter, she was beautiful… rest In peace 🙁 poor little girl… didn’t deserve any of this. No child deserves this kind of treatment 😫☹️😔
Where is Jen?
Why the Mother not being charged. She allowed this to transpire. She conveniently left out important pieces to the missing report allowed this creep monster to lay with her daughter
Justice for Maddie
Cool, what about the mother?
Absolute. Scumbag ! Mother is also at fault she tured a blind eye and left this sicko sleep in a separate bedroom with her young daughter no one knows what he had done to her for years
How did her mom not notice or know anything that was going on 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ that’s horrible!!
The mother should be in jail too!! She knew what was happening to her daughter!
Get her Mom too … poor baby … RIP MADDIE 💔💔💔🤍🕊️
Old Jen won’t get away they’ll have to investigate her further
Sterns can’t be trusted around children or animals. He’s sadistic!
wtf! Why would the mom let her daughter go sleep with a man. It’s not even her biological dad.
This channel has done an amazing job covering this! Justice for Madeline! Charge her “mother” too
Jen needs to be charged
Jen needs to be arrested
Jen gave her daughter to this man
NO JUSTICE
NO PEACE
JEN
So they didnt live together? I guess whats left to be determined is Jenn Soto s role, how long had Maddie been dead and when did the mother say she last saw her?
Ugh please stop showing his face
So from documents released yesterday, Jen sent Maddie to bed with that monster on the night of her party…Jen needs to face charges
Why are they not showing us the security footage they claim to have
