NJ Judge Keeps Charges Alive in Gaudreau Brothers Crash Case
TL;DR Summary
A New Jersey judge denied defense requests to dismiss charges against Sean Higgins in the fatal Gaudreau brothers crash, ruling that the BAC evidence (0.087%) was properly presented to the grand jury despite defense complaints about blood handling and testing methods. Higgins faces two counts each of reckless vehicular homicide, aggravated manslaughter, evidence tampering, and leaving the scene for the August 2024 crash that killed NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew. The judge did not dismiss the indictment; the next pretrial date is June 16, with potential exposure up to 70 years in prison if convicted.
