In the latest court findings, Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew Gaudreau’s assailant, Sean Higgins, pleaded to have his indictment lessened. Higgins can find himself behind bars for 60 years if convicted.
The driver claimed that he was being unfairly prosecuted when the NHL brother’s blood-alcohol levels were far higher than his. According to reports, Sean Higgins had a BAC of .087 while Johnny Gaudreau had a BAC of .129 and Matthew had a BAC of .134.
Lawyers of Higgins made the claim to request information about details on how the court measures the blood-alcohol concentrations of the driver and the victims. In another filing, the defense also claimed that Higgins was being unfairly overcharged with vehicular homicide and aggravated manslaughter.
Sean Higgins, the drunk driver that fatally struck Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, is fighting to have his indictment tossed, alleging that the Gaudreau brothers were both drunker than him at the time of the deadly hit-and-run.

Higgins detailed the Gaudreau brothers’ blood alcohol…
However, the court papers don’t allege Johnny Gaudreau and his brother of breaking the law of drunk driving as the Garden State does not consider bicycles as motor vehicles under State Law. although, riding a bike while being drunk can result in disorderly behavior as per Kugel Law Firm in NY and NJ.
Social media reacts to Sean Higgins recent plea
The NHL brothers Johhny and Matthew Gaudreau lost their lives a night before their sister’s wedding last August. They were riding bicycles in Oldsman Township, New Jersey, when the drunk driver Sean Higgins fatally slammed into them.
The fans were enraged to hear the news as it was a deadly hit-and-run case. The sad news doubled down when people found out that Matthew’s wife Madeline was pregnant with their first child during his time of death.
The tragedy took the lives of two NHL stars, and now the convicted killer, Sean Higgins, is on the verge of receiving a hefty punishment of about 35 to 60 years in prison. While the case is still going on, Higgins pleaded to the court for a lighter sentence.

The reason they are dead is because Sean Higgins a drunk diver. Was in an automobile and hit two people on bikes. And the drunk driver behind the wheel ran away. Jail for life.

all of the headlines and descriptions of the new filings in sean higgins' case are harmful to the gaudreau family and entirely misleading. there's nothing i can find that suggests intoxication of victims is a complete defense to reckless vehicular homicide in nj.

I find Sean Higgins defense claims rather disgusting. Higgins was driving while consuming alcohol, had previously consumed alcohol, then got in a vehicle, and then drove aggressively. The Gaudreau's were on bicycles while, yes, maybe intoxicated but in a state where it's legal.

That fucking loser Sean Higgins better hope he doesn’t get those chargers dropped for killing the Gaudreau brothers. I can not believe he went into court yesterday and asked for the charges to be dropped. Yea come out into the free world see how that goes for you Sean.

I’ll say it. Fuck Sean Higgins. Pleading not guilty with all the evidence is pathetic. You killed two men. Two husbands, two fathers, two sons, two brothers because you couldn’t get an uber or a DD. Over the legal limit. Fuck you Sean Higgins. This didn’t need a trial

The charges were doubled down on Sean Higgins as he left the scene of the accident where he could have helped to save the life of the Gaudreau brothers. Fans are looking forward to seeing what the final ruling will be.
