Jared Bridegan's Admitted Triggerman Traded 15 Years for This

Henry Tenon had a deal. Plead guilty to second-degree murder, testify truthfully against Shanna Gardner and Mario Fernandez Saldana, and face a sentencing range that started at 15 years. He signed it in March 2023. He walked away from it in February 2026 and is now charged with first-degree murder.

Four years on, Tenon has never been sentenced for anything.

Jared Bridegan was a 33-year-old Microsoft employee and a father of four. He was killed on a Jacksonville Beach street on February 16, 2022, minutes after dropping his twins at his ex-wife's house. A tire had been placed in the road to make him stop. His 2-year-old was behind him in a car seat.

We walk the bank records: 52 cents in Tenon's account in January 2022, three checks totaling $10,000 from a company owned by Fernandez and Gardner in the weeks after, and a detective's testimony that the promised figure was $150,000, structured as an investment in a pallet business. Defense attorneys say the checks paid for landscaping and roof work.

Mario Fernandez Saldana's jury was picked in August. Shanna Gardner's follows days after his verdict is read aloud. Each of the three defendants has pleaded not guilty, and each is presumed innocent.
