It was an emotional day in court as a judge sentenced the driver in the deadly Woodmore bus crash.
Johnthony Walker will face four years behind bars for his role in the crash that killed six children.
Walker left the Hamilton County courthouse after being sentenced.
He is allowed to remain out on bond for 30 days, which is the time he has left to file an appeal.
The judge explained his decision to sentence Walker to four years in prison, saying he weighed factors like Walker’s employment and criminal history.
Even though the criminal case is finishing, the investigation into the crash is not.
The NTSB will hold a hearing in Washington in May looking into this bus crash and another in Baltimore.
