Crown calls for jail time for Calgary woman who left body of newborn in dumpster

CALGARY – An Alberta prosecutor says the mother of a baby girl discovered dead in a Calgary dumpster on Christmas Eve in 2017 should serve time in jail.

Nina Albright, who is now 24, entered a guilty plea in November to offering an indignity to a body.

She gave birth to the baby girl in her parents’ home but told police the infant stopped breathing after a couple of minutes.

Three medical examiners determined the baby was born alive, but couldn’t say when she had died.
