The New Jersey driver accused of drunkenly killing beloved NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother claims prosecutors used a “half-truth” to “mislead” the grand jury about his blood-alcohol content, court documents show. Lawyers for 45-year-old Sean Higgins said in court papers released Tuesday that the Salem County Prosecutor’s Office “materially misled on critical scientific evidence” by submitting an incomplete blood alcohol content test to a grand jury. “The grand jury was never given a fair opportunity to evaluate whether the Defendant’s alcohol level actually satisfied the statutory threshold or supported an inference of recklessness,” the documents read.
