WINNIPEG — The lawyer for a woman accused of hiding the remains of six infants in a Winnipeg storage locker is asking the court to delay the autopsies.
Greg Brodsky, who represents Andrea Giesbrecht (GEEZ'-brehkt), says the autopsies shouldn't go ahead without an independent pathologist.
Brodsky told an emergency hearing that that person would observe the examination — quote —"with his hands in his pockets and Velcro on his mouth."
Lawyers for the Crown and the Winnipeg police are asking a judge to delay the hearing so they have time to prepare.
Giesbrecht appeared in court, listening intently and showing no emotion.
She is charged with six counts of concealing a body and one count of breaching probation.
Police have said it could take months of forensic examination before they figure out how the infants died and whether they were full term.
