NJ Judge Keeps Charges Alive in Gaudreau Brothers Crash Case

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.

NJ driver’s BAC dispute blocks bid to toss Gaudreau crash case

A New Jersey man, Sean Higgins, facing aggravated manslaughter and reckless vehicular homicide charges for allegedly mowing down NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother while drunk had his bid to dismiss the case denied. Higgins’ lawyers argued the BAC reading of .087 was inflated because a serum test was used instead of whole blood, and that the true BAC could be under .08 (roughly .075). A Salem County judge said BAC disputes are for a jury to decide at trial and left open the possibility of a hearing to challenge the testing method. Higgins, an Army veteran, could face up to 72 years in prison if convicted and is due back in court June 16.
