Shanna Gardner Said THIS About Bridegan Before He Died
About this episode
The man the prosecution called the only link between Bridegan and the gunman was convicted in under four hours. Gardner's jury selection starts August 31 — and the evidence profile is a different case entirely.
Against Fernandez, the prosecution had financial records and phone data but no evidence he ever expressed a desire to harm Bridegan. Against Gardner, prosecutors have her own texts to friends expressing exactly that. They have Jensen's messages about finding someone for Gardner. They have wiretaps from Gardner's phone and Apple Watch that survived a defense motion to suppress.
But Gardner's connection to Henry Tenon runs through Fernandez. She never paid Tenon directly. Her case requires the prosecution to prove she directed the killing, not just that she wanted it. Jose Baez has been fighting pretrial harder than Fernandez's defense team did — accusing the state of withholding evidence, challenging the wiretaps, and arguing the texts are taken out of context. The conspiracy charge Fernandez didn't face at trial is still live against Gardner. Deliberations in Fernandez's case took four hours. Gardner's trial is scheduled for three weeks.
