Ex-wife and husband accused in murder-for-hire plot against Microsoft exec go to trial

Prosecutors say Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan was lured from his car by a tire left in the road and shot in 2022 in a premeditated murder-for-hire plot tied to Bridegan's contentious custody battle; the scheme allegedly involved his ex-wife Shanna Gardner and her husband Mario Fernandez Saldana, with shooter Henry Tenon previously pleading guilty but now testifying as the case unfolds. Fernandez Saldana is on trial, Gardner faces related charges and is next to stand trial, while investigators point to checks and hundreds of phone contacts linking the conspirators.
