Engineering expert Richard Roth testified Thursday in Cape May, NJ, in the vehicular homicide case of New Jersey state trooper Robert Higbee. Roth said Higbee was driving over 70 mph seconds before he crashed into a minivan in the September 2006 crash that killed teenage sisters Jacqueline and Christina Becker.
The expert testified regarding information from the police car's data recorder. Roth said it showed the trooper drove between 70 and 80 mph before slamming on the brakes just before the crash. The defense lawyer said the trooper ran a stop sign while trying to catch up with a speeder.
