The man accused of the mass murder of 10 innocent people — and the attempted murder of more than a dozen others — wore a white jumpsuit and a blank expression when he appeared Tuesday in a small courtroom packed with journalists. His quick appearance took place inside the 1000 Finch Ave. W. court building, a few kilometres west of where Alek Minassian, less than 24 hours earlier, allegedly mowed down pedestrians along Yonge St., in the north end of the city. A throng of photographers was lined up outside the lowrise building, though the accused entered and left the building in a prisoner transport vehicle. Minassian is the alleged driver of the van that killed 10 people and injured many others on Yonge St. yesterday afternoon,” Crown attorney Joe Callaghan told justice of the peace Stephen Waisberg. He may have a bail hearing if he brings an application for one in Superior Court at a later date.
