NORTH BELLE VERNON, Pa. — A woman accused of leaving her newborn baby in a trash can in North Belle Vernon in 2016 will stand trial.

STORY: Newborn baby left in trash can at BP gas station
Conway was charged 18 months after police said she gave birth inside the bathroom of a BP and allegedly put the near full-term baby in the trash can.

When paramedics got there, they heard a whimper and pulled the baby out of the trash can.
That baby girl had the umbilical cord and placenta still attached, wrapped in a plastic bag.
Conway's attorney told Channel 11 the baby and mom are both happy, healthy and the family is together.
He also said they will proceed with the process, but couldn't go share details about their defense.
