A Kearns woman facing an attempted murder charge for allegedly tossing her newborn daughter in a trash can will get a "goodbye" visit with the infant, new court papers say.

Third District Judge Elizabeth Hruby-Mills signed an order late Monday granting Alicia Englert a 90-minute visit with the 3 month-old-girl, even though police and prosecutors say that Englert in August left the baby to die in bin in a neighbor's driveway because she didn't want it.

The judge signed the order the same day that Englert's attorneys requested the visit with the infant, who is identified only in court papers as A.H.E. The Dec. 15 meeting will be supervised by the Division of Child and Family Services, and held at an agency office in Riverton, court papers say.

The judge's order says Englert's criminal case should not be discussed during the visit and that DCFS supervisors can cut the meeting short at any time if they believe it would be "in the child's best interest."

The infant has been in state custody since she was found on Aug. 26 in the trash buried under two bags of garbage. Court papers say the 2-day-old, unclothed baby was placed in the trash by Englert, who told police she didn't want the baby and didn't know she was pregnant until she gave birth in the toilet of her parents' home.

Salt Lake County prosecutors have charged Englert, 23, with one count of first-degree felony attempted murder in Salt Lake City's 3rd District Court.

Englert has not yet entered a plea to the charges. If she is convicted of the crime, she could spend the rest of her life in prison.

It wasn't immediately clear whether Englert's attorneys had requested the visit because the young woman's parental rights are being terminated by the courts.

DCFS spokeswoman Elizabeth Sollis said she could not comment specifically on the Englert baby's case, but that it would not be unusual for a court to allow a supervised visit with a parent of a child in state custody.

Telephone messages seeking comment from Englert's attorney, Josie Brumfield, and Deputy Salt Lake County Attorney Robert Parrish, were not immediately returned on Monday.

Brumfield has raised questions with the court about Englert's mental competency.

In October, Hruby-Mills ordered a mental health evaluation to determine whether Englert suffers from a disorder or condition that would prevent her from understanding the court process, the charges filed against her, the possible punishment for the crime, or prevent her from participating in her own defense.

Englert's father, Robert Englert, has insisted his daughter is developmentally disabled and may not understand the gravity of her actions.

Unified Police Department officials have said investigators found no medical evidence that Englert, who worked at a car rental agency and graduated from high school, is mentally incompetent.

A competency review hearing is set for Dec. 5.

Englert is free on $25,000 bail. As a condition of her release, she is barred from any unsupervised contact with children.
