In her interview, Jensen seemed skeptical that Mario would have hired Tannen as well.

She told police she didn't think Tannen would have been his pick for a partner in crime.

Mario was ex-military, and Jensen said if he'd really wanted to kill someone, he'd have found someone better.

So bear in mind, Tenon pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of second-degree murder really early on, back in 2023.

And he agreed to testify against Gardner and Fernandez.

But more recently, Tenon got a new attorney.

And about a month ago, that attorney filed a motion saying Tenon wanted to withdraw his guilty plea.

And the judge granted it.

So now Tenon has officially pled not guilty to murder and will no longer cooperate with prosecutors.

Yeah.

So Fernandez has been in jail since his arrest.

He was denied bail early on.

But in light of Tennant's change of plea, his attorneys again asked the judge that he be released on bond.

The judge agreed to hear arguments on this, so I was in court last week when Mario's defense made its case.

The gist of the argument is, without Tennant's testimony, the prosecution has nowhere near enough evidence to keep Fernandez in jail while he awaits trial.

They also argued that they unearthed evidence proving the payments Fernandez made to Henry Tennant were legitimate, including a check to help him start his own business.

Well, her defense team was at the hearing listening intently.

And I'm certain if he's granted bond, Gardner's attorneys will seek hers as well.

There's a Fitbit that actually shows a spike in a heartbeat and then it just goes flat.

A new indictment claims that by killing Birchmore, he also caused the death of her unborn child.
