Mario Fernandez Saldana's murder trial began on Monday, August 17, where prosecutors accuse Fernandez Saldana of orchestrating the assassination of Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan.
According to the prosecution, Bridegan was ambushed and shot in 2022 after trying to remove a tyre in the middle of the road. According to the prosecution, the only two people who knew Bridegan's route and schedule were Bridegan's ex-wife, Shanna Gardner, and her current husband, Fernandez Saldana.
