Attorneys for both Sean Higgins' defense and the prosecution will be in court on Nov. 12, 2024, to discuss the death by auto case that killed NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthewas they biked near their South Jersey hometown the night before their sister's wedding is expected to appear in court Tuesday for a hearing.
Johnny, 31, and brother, Matt, 29, were set to serve as groomsmen at their sister Katie’s wedding that was scheduled for Friday, Aug. 30, in nearby Philadelphia, according to family. It is alleged that Higgins came speeding up behind the two other drivers and decided to overtake both cars. Higgins said he saw the driver moving to the left lane as that driver trying to block him, Flynn said. Higgins then reacted by accelerating on the right hand side, striking the Gaudreau brothers.Higgins told a responding officer he had five or six beers prior to the crash and admitted to consuming alcohol while driving, according to the criminal complaint obtained by The Associated Press.
However, the state argued that Higgins had made statements about ending his life and was known to drink and drive angrily. Higgins' attorney noted he had no previous record and shared letters on his behalf. Portella added that Higgins was low risk to not show up for court. His team also offered a breath monitoring machine on Higgins' car should he be released.Driving drunk and upset is not out of character for Higgins, prosecutors alleged.
