LAVAL, Que. — The Quebec Crown says its expert has concluded that the man accused of killing two children and injuring six others after a city bus crashed into a daycare should be found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder.
Prosecutor Karine Dalphond told a judge today that the Crown and defence will now present the facts of the case jointly when Pierre Ny St-Amand’s murder trial proceeds.
The development means that instead of the jury trial scheduled to start in April, the evidence will be presented before a judge alone, who will make the final decision.
More to come.
