In today's episode, I provide a primer on the murder for hire of former Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan. Jared Bridegan was a 33-year old father of four children, fraternal twins with his ex-wife Shanna Gardner and two very young children with his widow, Kirsten Bridegan. Jared's ex-wife, Shanna, is in jail awaiting trial on charges of first degree murder of Jared, conspiracy to commit murder, solicitation to commit murder and child abuse. Shanna’s current husband, Mario Fernandez, is also in jail on the same charges. The State is seeking the death penalty for both Shanna and Mario. The hired gunman, Henry Tenon, has pled guilty to the crime, specifically, second degree murder with a weapon, and as part of his plea deal, Henry agrees to testify truthfully against Shanna and Mario.

As always, all individuals mentioned in this video, including Shanna Gardner and Mario Fernandez, are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

In today's episode, I discuss the March 2023 murder of Tampa Bay-area attorney Steven Cozzi. Florida plastic surgeon Tomasz Kosowski has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the disappearance of Cozzi, who was last seen at his office on Tuesday, March 21, 2023. In Episode 1, I go over the probable cause statement from the arrest warrant, and provide my initial thoughts on a potential motive and why Mr. Cozzi may have been targeted. In Episode 2, I provide an update on the case, including the state's intention to seek the death penalty.

In today's episode, I analyze use and derivative use immunity, which is the type of immunity that Wendi Adelson holds as a result of her trial testimony under state subpoena in the 2019, 2022 and 2023 trials relating to the murder for hire of her ex-husband, FSU Law Professor Dan Markel. Specifically, I explain the holding in Kastigar v. United States, 406 U.S. 441 (1972), and how it might relate to Wendi Adelson, should she ever be charged in connection with her ex-husband's murder.

Wendi Adelson has not been charged with any crime, and she is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
