Charges against a Manitoba woman suspected of killing a newborn discovered in a trash can have been suspended.
According to a crown counsel, the choice was made after the autopsy.
The provincial government supplied a transcript of the court hearings, which reveals that the Crown believed it was not in a position to ascertain the cause of death or rule out natural causes.
When a baby girl was discovered in a garbage can in a Winnipeg back alley last spring, Jeanene Moar was arrested and charged with manslaughter and hiding a child’s body.
At the time, police stated that they thought the child was born nearby and was still alive when she was put in the trash.
Adam Hodge, Moar’s attorney, claims that Moar spent around four months in detention before being freed and is happy to be back with her family.
