The parents of Shanna Gardner, who is indicted on a charge of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for allegedly planning the ambush-style shooting death of her ex-husband Jared Bridegan, a Microsoft executive and father of her twins, have been awarded guardianship of the two kids — and his widow is outraged.

“This isn’t what Jared would have wanted and this isn’t what I want,” said Kirsten Bridegan, Jared’s widow, in a statement published Friday by the Florida Times-Union. “But some things are out of my control/ability to influence or correct.”
