May 7, 2025
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Shanna Gardner and her estranged husband, Mario Fernandez, who are accused of plotting to have her ex-husband, Jared Bridegan, killed in 2022, were back in court Wednesday morning.
[.....]
Ahead of that, the state said Wednesday that it had provided both defense teams with its complete discovery inventory. Both sides have a meeting planned next week to go over the list once the defense has had time to review it.

Prosecutors also said the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office computer forensic unit was able to recover data from some damaged hardware that was seized in a raid. They did not elaborate on what that data included.
[.....]
Judge London Kite ordered Gardner and Fernandez to return to court at 10:30 a.m. June 6 for another pretrial hearing.

I am REALLY curious if more information about Shanna’s tattoos and conversations with another inmate will be public. Jared’s widow posted the court details (Duval Core website) that Shanna was ordered to have her tattoos photographed. It made me remember Shanna had a tattoo artist in Jacksonville who was interviewed and claimed Shanna asked him if she knew anyone (lingo fuzzy, but alluding to a hit man) who could take care of someone for her. I am curious if Shanna added a new tattoo after Jared’s murder and told someone about it. If there was symbology behind it for her. I don’t know what else would be a reason for photographing tattoos. Maybe Henry Tenon or someone else described a woman like Shanna and described a tattoo placing her somewhere as evidence? Brainstorming here obviously. IMO.

Don't they usual photograph tattoos on people in jail? I thought they did - have a description on their jail records or somewhere.

I believe they do when they’re booked? But this was from a recent (May) court document requesting photographs of her tattoos based on a conversation with another inmate. I’ll have to look up, when I posed that a minute ago, the Core website wasn’t working for me.
