WINNIPEG — The bail hearing for the woman accused of placing six infants’ bodies in a storage locker has been postponed, and a motion to have an independent pathologist at the babies’ autopsies denied.
Judge Brian Corrin denied a motion by Greg Brodsky, Andrea Giesbrecht’s lawyer, that an independent pathologist witness the remaining autopsy work and that it be videotaped. The autopsies are 90 per cent complete, court has been told.

Corrin called Brodsky’s application “unconventional” and the motion “premature.”
“We were advised already that 90 per cent of the autopsy or autopsies were done already, so I don’t know why the reports on what was done already haven’t been filed yet. It’s been a long time now to wait and wait and wait,” said Brodsky.
Brodsky also asked that his client’s bail hearing be postponed because of unrelated fraud charges recently laid against her.
Giesbrecht was taken into custody in October, shortly after the remains of six infants were found in a U-Haul locker she had rented. She has since been charged with six counts of concealing the body of a child.
Giesbrecht will be back in court Dec. 1 for her rescheduled bail hearing.
