Original and updated counts differ. The case file labels that change instead of presenting the 2023 indictment as current.
View More — Wiretaps and discovery disputes
Defense litigation has addressed investigative communications and disclosure. The record must distinguish a motion from a ruling and from proof of guilt.
06 | Prosecution and defense
View More — Prosecution position
The September and October reports describe revised charges and a combined Gardner–Tenon prosecution. October 7 coverage identifies murder and conspiracy counts for Gardner and murder plus a felon-firearm count for Tenon. Operative filed instruments are still needed.
View More — Defense position
Gardner and Tenon contest the prosecution. Tenon withdrew an earlier guilty plea. Defense challenges to evidence and prosecution communications should be evaluated through the actual motions and orders, without treating a withdrawn plea as a current conviction.
07 | Trial testimony and courtroom developments
The calendar now reflects the reported joint May 2027 trial. The October 27 and November 16 pretrial listings from the master require confirmation from the current docket.
View More — Read the proceeding in context
A reported question, an attorney’s argument, an admitted exhibit and a court’s finding are not interchangeable. Where a full transcript, exhibit or signed order has not been obtained, the gap is identified rather than filled with an inferred result.
08 | Verdicts, sentencing and appeals
No verdict in the Gardner–Tenon trial is established. Other defendants’ proceedings are not outcomes in these defendants’ case.

October 27, 2026 reported pretrial; May 3, 2027 jury selection
Future settings can change. The sources identify whether this entry is based on a filed record, an official announcement or attributed court reporting. A source check does not establish that no later filing exists.

- Verify each defendant’s capital status from an official notice.
- Confirm pretrial dates and the May trial order.

This case file was reconciled with Jaded Evidence’s master trial records and the public sources listed above. The source descriptions preserve the difference between a primary court document, an official party announcement and reporting. A prosecution release states the prosecution’s account; it is not a substitute for a verdict.
The page links to available originals and clearly identified reporting. Missing transcripts, exhibits, expert reports or signed orders are listed as research gaps. No quotation, timestamp, forensic result or ruling is supplied from inference.
