He doesn't care about what he has done, he is a horrible human being for drinking and driving, he should not be even considered to be let out of jail, let it be his new home so that this doesn't happen again
Gawd this slimeball has more fuckin rights than the victims did.I am in tears that the slime will have to spend Labour Day weekend in jail.Bring back capital punishment for drunk drivers.why waste good oxygen on this slimeball.
Sean Higgins is one selfish man. First, you get drunk w/out designating a driver. Then you kill not 1 but 2 people. Then you're worried about getting an attorney to represent you, when you're clearly guilty of all charges, then you're sighing and distressed about staying in jail FOR MURDER until Thursday?
You drink and drive thinking you are invisible. It will catch up to you. So sad this had to happen to such good people.
Hope you’re in jail every Thursday for the rest of your life Higgins.
Give him life in prison wtf
I feel absolutely sick about and I don't even know any of the people involved. Tragic.
He has his own lawyer. This likely isn't the first time. And he worries he has to stay till Thursday. WTF is wrong with these kind of people?? He killed two, left 2 children and an unborn baby without their fathers. Shattered a family and this creep worries about having to stay until Thursday. And the public defender already trying to get this weasel off. Aww poor Mr Higgens he 'can't reach anyone'. Ya Mr. Higgens the two guys you killed are in the morgue until Thursday as well. You idiot.
A member of the Army and works at a rehab facility? What a mess.
Psychopath has no remorse!
Cody, Cody…
Looks like he was doing the same as Higgins that night and was a victim all at the same time!
Life in prison is what this monster deserves! Not a mere 10 yrs!
All this because Johnny's sister was getting married. What a shame. She'll probably be divorced in a year.
He shouldn’t get out of jail , he’s ruined many lives because of stupidity…
Sean Higgins. World famous for being a douche. Forever.
He is more worried about being there until Thursday than him taking the lives of two young men, and forcing the family to grieve over their loss, and his poor sister that has to mourn her brothers at her wedding, an event that is supposed to be a happy occasion. This guy is trash. He deserves more than 20 years, he took two lives, even life is prison is not good enough for him. These 2 men will never see their sister marry, never see their kids grow up, no more Christmases or Thanksgivings, my prayers go out to the family.
With your rank and the men you lead,plead guilty since there is zero tolerance.When in recovery, remember to practice what you preach.
Thats a Fk'n disgrace a 10yr sentence for two murders.
There's no way I actually just heard "10 years".
5 years a piece, for two professional athletes. It actually boggles my mind…
So… all you people who are calling For this person to thrown in jail and the keys thrown away(I agree with this) are probably the same people that are upset when the police enforce traffic laws. Yes this was a drunk driver but a speeding driver can have the same consequences…
I hope this POS rots in Jail
This misfit looks annoyed he is staying in jail until his hearing. I guess he was planning on beers and a bar-b-q over Labor Day 🤣 Higgins, you are now hated by so many and your life is over!
The death of Johnny Gaudreau deserves just 10 years for Sean Higgins? This is not bringing the accused to the Gaudreau brothers their justice. If he didn't drink 5 or 6 beers, none of this would have happened. This is awful. Everybody is being so kind to Sean, but does he deserve it? I hate this! Mr. Higgins took 2 lives. One was beginning training camp soon for the NHL and he happens to be one of the best American born hockey players. Sean Higgins took a son, a husband, a father, and his life away so this man can have a little buzz and choose to drive. He even had the nerve of asking if he has to stay there until Thursday. I wanna say so much more but I don't want to interfere.
Dude should be given life without possibility of parole. Sick pos.
Lots of virtue signaling here. Every one of you has driven drunk at some point or another in your lives. Embarrassed to say I have when I was young and foolish.
Scumbag I can't believe said "so I'm here until thursday"?!
No bud you gunna be there hopefully 20 years.. not til Thursday.
This is ridiculous this guy actually killed 2 young men and left their kids orphans because consciously he did drink and that not am accident because he freely chooses to drink and drive DUI need to be taken more seriously
what a dirtbag
People have gotten more time for holding a marijuana joint.
i dont think he understands the gravity of what he has done, so im here till thursday is a bazaar thing to say
Human trash among human trash
This man as no remorse and only a total of 20 years that is friggen crazy he should be in prison for life
There are cheaper things than jail as punishment, just saying 🪓.
He had one DUI in 2005 that was excused because the arresting officer didn’t show up. He had a speeding citation in 2001 that was excused because he had a clean driving record.
The court system is a joke! This is heartbreaking! I've watched cases, and the defendant received 10 to 15 years and others where the sentence was 15 to life and the last one 52 years for taking out most of a family! The sentences definitely should be at least 20 or 25 years to life! He just destroyed several families! From the start, this is a pretty good public defender! He says, So I'm here until Thursday 😂! He better start getting ready for his vacation!
usual suspect
This is just astonishing. Dude ruined an entire family and disrupted generational wealth. He doesn't even seem remorseful. Just outstanding. Dude is a complete piece of shit.
save the court time and money, just plead guilty, you killer.
is he wearing bullet-proof vest ?
That’s body armor that he is wearing.
We all should be clear on why they felt he may need it.
Idi ot ,
He only gets ten years? Only in the states. What a joke.
10 years per one brother killed is a piece of cake.
He took everything from the gaudreau family, there future kids won't get to meet there father and you wanna give him 10 years in prison nah he should get life in prison
1:05 Yes! He or she!
Guy rolling his eyes when told he needs to stay in the prison until his next hearing, like it's all in the way of his busy schedule, after murdering two innocent people.
