Bail denied for Winnipeg woman who kept remains of six infants in storage locker
WINNIPEG — The lawyer for a woman convicted of concealing the remains of six dead infants in a storage locker said he will look for another way to get his client released after her bail was denied.
In his decision Friday, Court of Appeal Justice Michel Monnin said he didn’t approve of a plan to have Andrea Giesbrecht, 44, live in her home until her appeal can be heard.
“As a result of that, we are going to submit another plan and place of residence if we can determine one that is appropriate,” said Giesbrecht’s lawyer Greg Brodsky.
Monnin said the case was unprecedented and the “accused has been found guilty of a number of serious crimes.” If Giesbrecht could be released in a controlled, structured setting, Monnin said he would be prepared to consider granting bail.
