TYLER, Texas (KLTV) – The defense began their arguments Friday in the trial for a biker club president accused of ordering the murder of an East Texas motorcyclist.
Kevin Dale Higgins, 58, is reported to be the national president of the Ugly Man Cossacks motorcycle club. He was arrested in April in connection with the murder of rival club member Brandon Edwards, of Ben Wheeler, who was shot to death in Arp on May 2, 2020.
The defense began their counter argument in the case, strongly emphasizing the possibility that the club’s second in command, sergeant at arms, Chad Michael Crowell, of Eustace, is responsible.
Crowell has been charged with directing street gang activities.
