Sean Higgins, accused of killing Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew in a drunk driving crash last week, made his second court appearance, this time virtually, in a New Jersey courtroom on Thursday and his appearance this time around looked a bit different, reports TMZ. .The 43-year-old notably was no longer in an anti-suicide smock, instead, he was seen in a simple orange jumpsuit. He also had a different facial hair style, sporting a thick goatee, says TMZ, adding the judge had been expected to make a ruling on Higgins' pretrial conditions at the hearing, but the proceedings were postponed after just a few seconds. Higgins will remain behind bars until his next meeting with the judge on September 13. The postponement is in order to file “exhibits and potential legal briefs” related to the case.It’s the second time the public has seen Higgins in a courtroom since he allegedly crashed into the backs of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau's bicycles on a rural roadway in Salem County on August 29. His first appearance was on August 30, when he seemed surprised that his stay in jail would be more than a few hours. Higgins is currently facing two charges of death by auto after authorities say he admitted to cops that he drank "five to six beers" before the accident. Tributes for the Gaudreaus, meanwhile, are still pouring in, as both the Calgary Flames and Columbus Blue Jackets, Johnny's former teams, held emotional candlelight vigils at their arenas on Wednesday night, says TMZ..This is what the Western Standard is up againstThe Trudeau government is funding lies and propaganda by directly subsidizing the mainstream media.
