A felony child abuse case regarding the death of an infant has been bound over to District Court and an arraignment has been set.
Ryan Kozisek, 29, of Gresham, appeared in York County Court this week for a preliminary hearing, which was quickly waived — moving the case forward.
Kozisek is facing accusations that he committed one Class 1B felony, which is classified as committing child abuse, resulting in death. The possible maximum penalty, upon conviction, is 20 years to life in prison. This charge is related to accusations that he shook the infant on Jan. 24, resulting in fatal injuries.
A second charge is a Class 2 felony, which is classified as committing child abuse, resulting in serious bodily injury. The possible maximum penalty, upon conviction, is 1-50 years in prison. This charge is related to accusations that he also abused the baby two weeks prior to her death, causing a skull fracture. Doctors at Children ’s Hospital in Omaha say they discovered “older injuries” besides the ones that led to Kayley Kozisek’s death.
Investigators say that when responders arrived at the Kozisek home on Jan. 24, they were told by Ryan Kozisek that his 2-year-old daughter, Kaydence, accidentally fell from a foot stool onto the baby (Kayley), causing the injuries. But doctors at Children’s Hospital say the injuries were not consistent with his story and that all indications show it was a situation of shaken baby syndrome.
The arraignment proceedings have been set for April 18.
