#STSNation, Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime

In a chilling courtroom showdown, Stephan Sterns — the man accused of raping and murdering 13-year-old Madeline Soto, his girlfriend’s daughter — appeared in court this week fighting to suppress digital evidence that prosecutors say contains years of abuse. Sterns took the stand himself in a rare legal move, claiming police violated his rights when they accessed his phone without a warrant.

The evidence includes hundreds of sexually explicit photos allegedly stored in his Google account and device, but his defense argues he only consented to a limited search. Prosecutors say a factory reset and verbal consent justify the seizure — and they plan to use any guilty verdict in the sex abuse case as an aggravator in the murder trial to seek the death penalty.

1. Ryan Vescio – Former homicide prosecutor and criminal defense attorney in Orlando

2. Sonny Slaughter – Victims’ rights advocate

3. John Tompkins - Criminal Defense attorney

We’ll break down what happened in the courtroom, what’s next in the trial, and whether this evidence will make it in front of a jury.

Jared Bridegan Case: Shanna Gardner in Trouble, Has a New Lover & Admitted Gunman Recants Testimony

#STSNation! Welcome to the podcast that promises to bring you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime. The Jared Bridegan murder-for-hire case takes a shocking turn as Henry Tenon, the confessed gunman, backtracks on his previous testimony, claiming it was false. In response, defense attorneys for Shanna Gardner and Mario Fernandez successfully motioned to obtain Tenon’s jail phone records, which could unravel the entire case. Judge London Kite also authorized the Secret Service to transfer encrypted evidence for forensic review. But wait...there's more. The alleged mastermind behind the murder, ex-wife Shanna Gardner, is also getting into trouble behind bars and she now has a new lover...and is gushing to her family about them. With Gardner and Fernandez facing murder charges for the ambush-style 2022 killing of Bridegan, this new development raises questions about Tenon’s credibility and the future of the prosecution’s case. We'll dig into all of this in today's episode.Get Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxAll Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTube#JaredBridegan #ShannaGardner #MarioFernandez #HenryTenon #MurderForHire #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #SurvivingTheSurvivor #CourtroomDrama #CriminalInvestigation #LegalUpdate #JusticeForJared #TrueCrimePodcast #murdermystery #truecrimepodcast  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
