The Ambush of Jared Bridegan: FL v Mario...

Brandi Churchwell
About this episode

On February 16, 2022, Jared Bridegan was driving home with his two-year-old daughter when he came across a tire blocking the road.

He stopped to move it.

Seconds later, he was dead.

What looked like a roadside shooting would unravel into an alleged murder-for-hire plot years in the making — involving a mysterious pickup truck, a hired gun, a bitter custody battle, and people much closer to Jared than anyone initially knew.

In this episode of 13th Juror, we break down the murder of Jared Bridegan, the case against Mario Fernandez-Saldana, and the evidence that ultimately went before a jury.

But some of the most explosive evidence in this case?

The jury never heard it.
