Prosecutors are trying to prevent a jury from hearing about Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau's blood alcohol content levels the night they were killed by a suspected drunk driver in Salem County, New Jersey, last August, according to court documents.

The Salem County Prosecutor's Office filed court documents Wednesday asking Superior Court Judge Michael J. Silvanio to rule the Gaudreau brothers' BAC levels inadmissible "as being irrelevant to any issue before the jury."
