In January, Higgins rejected a guilty plea agreement that would have seen him suffer 35 years in prison. In Tuesday’s appearance, Higgins’ lawyers argued that the 35-year-old bid was higher than usual due to fame and fames around the Gaudreau family.
Moreover, lawyers plan to submit a motion that will prevent some evidence not to do it in the trial, including the results of the Higgins alcohol test.
