Sean Higgins, who allegedly mowed down NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his younger brother on a rural New Jersey roadway last week, made his second appearance before a judge Thursday.

Higgins appeared without the suicide vest he was wearing during his initial virtual appearance Aug. 30 and now wears a bushy goatee.
