GUILTY in the Jared Bridegan Murder-for-Hire, No Weapon and No DNA, and Lindsay Clancy's Jury Just Got a Manslaughter Option

A Duval County jury convicted Mario Fernandez Saldana of first-degree murder and solicitation to commit a capital felony Wednesday, after just under four hours of deliberation, in the February 2022 ambush killing of Jared Bridegan. Bridegan, 33, a Microsoft senior design manager and father of four, was shot after stopping to move a tire from a dark Jacksonville Beach road with his two-year-old daughter in the back seat. Prosecutors said Fernandez Saldana solicited Henry Tenon — his former tenant, recently evicted and with no money in his accounts — to kill Bridegan to resolve a custody fight and to allow his wife, Shanna Gardner, to become trustee of her family trust. The state had no murder weapon, no DNA and no eyewitness. Fernandez Saldana, 38, faces an automatic life sentence, with a sentencing date to be set October 5. Gardner has pleaded not guilty; her jury selection begins Monday. Also: after five weeks and 84 witnesses, the Lindsay Clancy trial went to the jury Thursday — and Judge William Sullivan granted the defense a manslaughter instruction over the Commonwealth's objection, giving jurors an option between first-degree murder and a finding of not criminally responsible. And in Las Vegas, prosecutors rested against Duane Davis after 25 witnesses.
