The jury on Wednesday found the defendant, who is married to Bridegan's ex-wife, guilty of first-degree murder and solicitation to commit a capital felony.
Investigators said Bridegan, 33, was shot to death at close range in February 2022 in Jacksonville Beach after stopping his car to move a tire left in the middle of a dark road.
His daughter, who was just 2 years old at the time, was sitting in the back seat during the shooting but was uninjured.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
