Maddie Soto's mother absent from Sterns sentencing

Stephan Sterns received 21 life sentences for the murder and sexual abuse of 13-year-old Maddie Soto in Osceola County Court yesterday. He pled no contest to murder and guilty to sexual battery. Lauren Cadilac, an attorney following the case, joins FOX 35's Garrett Wymer live via Zoom to break down the emotional day in the courtroom where Maddie's father spoke with his wife, and multiple members of Maddie's family gave emotional victim impact statements, often directly addressing and attacking Stephan Sterns. Maddie's mother, Jenn Soto, was not physically in the courtroom for the hearing.
