They just updated the article.

When the judge explained that the usual 72-hour holding period was extended due to the holiday weekend, Higgins sat back in his chair and let out a heavy sigh.

Higgins, who is facing two counts of second degree vehicle manslaughter, was expressionless as the judge recounted how he killed the two brothers.

The Woodstown resident appeared virtually from jail, wearing a dark-green jacket with velcro shoulders and bare arms. He had a bandage on his wrist.

There was no family in the courtroom to support Higgins, who was represented by a public defender, Cody Dooley.

“Don’t talk to anyone at the jail about your case,” Dooley warned.

“I wouldn’t talk about the case with anyone who isn’t your attorney.”

Higgins plans to hire his own private attorney going forward, he told the judge.

“When I do hire an attorney… I have very limited contact with anyone now, I don’t have a phone, I can’t really reach anybody… how do I get that process started?” he asked.

The judge told Higgins to ask someone in the jail for help, or to ask family and friends who might be willing to assist.
