A second autopsy to try and determine when and how a baby died has been ordered for the infant found in the Liberty Street apartment of 28-year-old Christina Colontino.
Colontino was arrested in late August on a charge of second-degree murder.
The first autopsy was unable to establish with scientific certainty whether the baby was born alive, so Colontino, who had been held without bail, was released from jail.
Judge Robert C. Noonan signed the order.
The next scheduled court appearance for Colontino, who is still facing a murder charge, is Thursday.
