It’s day 6 of the murder trial for Mario Fernandez Saldana in Florida. Saldana is charged with first-degree murder in the 2022 shooting death of Jared Bridegan, a 33-year-old Microsoft senior design manager and father of four.
Prosecutors allege Saldana helped orchestrate a murder-for-hire plot targeting Bridegan and that Henry Tenon, Fernandez’s former tenant and handyman, was the gunman. Bridegan was ambushed and shot after stopping to move a tire deliberately placed in the road in Jacksonville Beach.
Fernandez has pleaded not guilty. His wife, Shanna Gardner, is also charged with first-degree murder and her trial is scheduled to begin in September. Tenon faces the same charges.
