Court of Appeal Justice Michel Monnin has denied bail for Andrea Giesbrecht while she awaits an appeal of her 2017 conviction.
Giesbrecht was sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison for concealing the remains of six infants in a storage locker.

In delivering his decision Monnin said he would consider releasing Giesbrecht into a controlled setting but the Elizabeth Fry Society of Manitoba, where she had lived prior to her conviction will not allow her to stay there because they don’t house federally-sentenced prisoners.
Giesbrecht’s lawyer, Greg Brodsky said they are looking into other options before they make another bail application.
