Jared Bridegan and Shanna Gardner Fernandez

Arrested in Washington State, Shanna Gardner has finally been extradited back to Florida, where she faces charges in a murder-for-hire plot to kill her ex-husband.

Gardner together with her current husband, Mario Fernandez Saldana are accused of hiring a hitman to gun down Microsoft executive and father of four, Jared Bridegan. Bridegan was killed in front of his small daughter after being lured out of his car by debris in the road,  preventing him from making his way home.

The next court date for Gardner and Fernandez-Saldana is scheduled for December 1. Beside Gardner for the hearing will be attorney Jose Baez, known for defending “Tot Mom” Casey Anthony in the death of her daughter who was found not guilty of murder.

Gardner and her current husband will be tried together, possibly with separate juries.
