A Winnipeg woman will remain free on bail while she awaits sentencing after being convicted on six counts of concealing the body of a dead child.
A judge ruled yesterday that Andrea Giesbrecht secretly delivered six babies at or near full term and stashed their remains in a U-Haul storage locker.
Provincial court Judge Murray Thompson says the infants were likely to have been born alive but because they were badly decomposed, medical experts could not determine how they died.
The maximum penalty on each charge is two years in jail.
Defence lawyer Greg Brodsky says his client is not happy with the outcome of her trial but is happy the legal proceedings are finally over.
The remains of the infants were discovered after Giesbrecht defaulted on paying rent for the storage locker.
Staff who were to auction off its contents opened a plastic bin and noticed a strange smell.
Brodsky argued that his client kept the bodies in the storage locker to save them, not dispose of them, but the judge said he didn't believe that.
