After years of legal battles, the state Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s decision to let the case proceed, rejecting the state’s appeal. Michael Higgins’ mother, Lisa, refused a $1 million settlement that wouldn’t admit fault, pushing for accountability and systemic change. The trooper’s defense claims he was chasing a drunk driver and that trial could endanger law enforcement. Now, the case returns to Pitt County for trial, with the fate of Trooper Mendoza’s actions resting in jurors’ hands. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
