Johnthony Walker, the driver in the deadly bus accident on Nov. 21, which killed six elementary school students, made his first court appearance in Judge Lila Statom's courtroom.
His attorney Amanda Dunn requested that the preliminary hearing be rescheduled. Judge Statom rescheduled it to Dec. 15. At that time she will decide if there is enough evidence to bind him over to the Grand Jury.
Walker has been in jail since the accident, on a $107,500 bond. He is charged with six counts of vehicular homicide.
