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.  #BestGuests:  1.
