The man who struck Johnny Gaudreau & Matthew Gaudreau showed no remorse on Friday during court hearing.
Sean Higgins, the man who struck and killed Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau on Thursday night was in court on Friday for a hearing and appeared to show no remorse for his actions.
Higgins is being held until Thursday as the judge explained that the normal 72-hour holding period was being extended due for that reason. According to the New York Post, Higgins reportedly sat back in his chair and let out a big sigh.
"So..I'm here until Thursday?" Higgins reportedly asked the judge.
Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers posted on his social media account, citing ABC6 and NBC10 that Higgins allegedly told New Jersey police that he drank 5 or 6 beers before getting into the crash.
"According to ABC6 and NBC10 in Philadelphia, Sean Higgins, the driver who police say was the one who hit Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, allegedly told police that he consumed "5-6 beers" before the crash. #CBJ" Scheig said. It's a very tough day for the hockey world and everyone continues to think about the Gaudreau family, as well as the friends and teammates Johnny and Matthew had over the years.
