YouTube Description
as posted by the channelShanna Gardner and her husband, Mario Fernandez Saldana, are accused of orchestrating the 2022 murder-for-hire of Shanna's ex-husband, Jared Bridegan. Prosecutors say the killing was the culmination of years of hostility, custody disputes, and discussions about wanting Jared dead.
Tonight, we examine the text messages prosecutors say reveal motive and intent—including references to "funeral potatoes," "magic," hitmen, and the now-infamous statement, "I want him gone." The defense argues the messages were nothing more than angry venting during a bitter divorce. We'll break down the evidence and the arguments on both sides.
