About This Coverage
Through the podcast, we have gotten to know and become friends with Jared’s widow, Kirsten Bridegan. We also serve on the board of the Bridegan Foundation. We want to be transparent about that connection as we cover the upcoming trials. Our reporting will be based on public court proceedings, court records, and named news sources. Every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
