Defense team in Jared Bridegan murder case wants ‘crucial’ witness to answer written questions

There has been a major development in the high-profile Jared Bridegan murder-for-hire case. Bridegan’s ex-wife, Shanna Gardner, and her estranged husband, Mario Fernandez, are both under indictment for first-degree murder and other charges in connection with Bridegan’s shooting death in February 2022. Both have pleaded not guilty. Now, Fernandez’s defense team is pushing to get detailed answers from the state’s key witness—before he ever testifies under oath.
