New! Kirsten Bridegan files wrongful death suit against Gardner, Fernandez and Tenon

Excerpt from the above article:

“The lawsuit is seeking in excess of $50,000 for "loss of economic support and other services by her husband, loss of consortium, companionship, love, instruction, guidance, protection, grief, anxiety, emotional distress and mental suffering. Further, including, but not limited to, survivor damages for the children."

Here also is hoping that this wrongful death suit will open up discovery and gather additional incriminating evidence against the perpetrators. Wonder if it might also extend to other individuals as well? MOO

And I am sure if this gets to a jury she will be awarded way more than $50K, believe that was just a base threshold

imo, HT is much needed for trial.


@nodamselindistress, I wasn't able to retrieve article, but thank you for heads up.

Thank you, @cujenn81.

From article:

During the Jan. 14 meeting, Tenon expressed doubts about his plea agreement and cooperation with authorities. He initially tried to say he had only confessed to the crime in order for police to interview and arrest Fernandez, then he said the state would learn that he (Tenon) was innocent.


Mizrahi also reminded Tenon of how he had expressed remorse about killing Bridegan, how he had cried when he spoke about the baby in Bridegan's car, and how he had expressed he wanted to "do the right thing."
Assistant State Attorney Stifler, who has been involved in the case since the night of the murder, reminded Tenon that his previous statements contained details only the true perpetrator would know. She also noted that Tenon's remorse for the crime could play a role in the court's sentencing decision. Bridegan's family, she said, appreciated his willingness to take responsibility.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Tenon reaffirmed his cooperation in the case and promised to apologize to the judge for his outburst.

Gardner and Fernandez are expected to be back in court for a hearing March 28; the trial is scheduled for October of this year.

My apologies for the confusion with the link, it worked earlier this morning when I first posted it. Guess they moved it? The original article I read did NOT have links to the actual new discovery mentioned in the article.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A new document reveals the details of a meeting between the confessed killer in Jared Bridegan's murder, his attorney and the state after Henry Tenon had claimed his testimony was "false" in an open courtroom.
During a Jan. 13 hearing, Tenon told the judge that he wanted to bring his "false testimony" to her attention. Tenon was stopped by the judge, informed he needed to speak with his attorney and removed from the courtroom.

[..]

Mizrahi asked Tenon what led to his statements in the courtroom the day before and whether someone had threatened or paid him. Tenon denied that any of this had happened.
Concerns were raised about possible outside influence on Tenon while in jail, but he denied being threatened or paid off. Investigators also questioned whether his family was facing harassment, and while Tenon stated that while he had not heard from his daughter recently, he said this had not happened.

According to the document, Tenon expressed he was second-guessing his decision to cooperate because he now believed his cooperation would not matter, and despite it, he would nonetheless be sentenced to life. Tenon expressed hopelessness about his future, stating he was already 64 years old. Mizrahi reiterated that the terms of his negotiated plea would allow Tenon to request and potentially be granted "mercy" at a sentencing hearing.
Tenon was reminded that if he had been tried and found guilty in Bridegan's murder, he would face a minimum of life in prison, as opposed to his sentencing under his plea deal (a minimum of 15 years and a maximum of life in prison).
Mizrahi also reminded Tenon of how he had expressed remorse about killing Bridegan, how he had cried when he spoke about the baby in Bridegan's car, and how he had expressed he wanted to "do the right thing." [..]

At the conclusion of the meeting, Tenon reaffirmed his cooperation in the case and promised to apologize to the judge for his outburst.
