COURT HOUSE — The case of State Trooper Robert Higbee, which gained national attention during the trial, will be in the media spotlight again.
ABC’s “20/20” has scheduled a piece on the case of Higbee to run during its regular 10 p.m. broadcast Tuesday, Sept. 8. The feature is a follow-up story to a piece that aired on 20/20 in March 2007 before Higbee’s case went to trial.
In June of this year, a jury found Higbee not guilty of two counts of vehicular homicide in the deaths of Jacqueline and Christina Becker. The case came two years after the crash that killed two Upper Township sisters.
On Sept. 27, 2006, just after 10 p.m., Higbee’s patrol car crashed into a minivan that Christina, 19, and Jacqueline, 17, Becker were driving in. The sisters were headed to the Wawa close to their grandparent’s home to pick up milk for the next morning’s breakfast. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
Higbee said was attempting to close the gap on a speeder when he ran the stop sign. He said he turned around and attempted pursue the speeder following Attorney General guidelines that require troopers to close the distance before activating overhead lights and sirens.
