St-Amand appeared to be struggling to walk and had to be supported by two corrections officers as he made his way to the courtroom in Laval, a suburb north of Montreal. The 51-year-old driver with the Laval transit corporation was arrested last week after a bus crashed into the front of the daycare, killing two four-year-olds and injuring six other children.
