Drunk driver who killed Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau distressed over extended jail time.

Sean Higgins, the 43-year-old driver responsible for the fatal accident that claimed the lives of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, expressed frustration over being detained until Thursday, following the incident reported last Friday.
The incident has stirred considerable public outcry and raised questions about sentencing policies for DUI-related offenses.
In a courtroom scene that underscored the gravity of his actions, Higgins was notably unsettled upon learning about his extended detention. The moment was highlighted when he inquired in disbelief.
"So..."'Im here until Thursday?" Higgins asked the judge at one point during the proceedings.

His interaction with law enforcement further revealed his admission of consuming '5-6 beers' before deciding to drive, a choice that led to irreversible consequences.
This admission and the tragic results have sparked a broader discussion on the need for stricter DUI laws and the responsibilities drivers have to public safety.
The community response has been one of mourning and calls for action, reflecting a consensus on the urgent need for preventive measures and the importance of legal accountability in such grievous matters.
