BAC dispute shakes up Gaudreau murder case
TL;DR
Defense argues new BAC findings show Sean Higgins’s blood-alcohol content was .075 (plasma-tested) rather than the .087 claimed by prosecutors, potentially affecting the grand-jury indictment in the 2024 fatal crash that killed NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother. Prosecutors will review the evidence, with a possible new indictment if they concede the discrepancy, and Higgins faces court updates on April 14 amid ongoing plea talks.
