Ryan Kozisek

On April 19th 2011, the York News source of York Nebraska published a story about a young father, Ryan Kozisek (29) of nearby Gresham, Neb., who was compelled to enter a plea with regard to his infant daughter’s death. She died on January 24, 2011. He pleaded not guilty to felony child abuse. This is again a shaken baby allegation, and in Ryan’s case, he is facing two charges. The first is called a Class 1B felony, consisting of child abuse that has resulted in death. The second charge is called a Class 2 felony which is child abuse that results in serious bodily injury. The latter charge relates to an accusation that two weeks prior to his daughter’s death he abused her causing a skull fracture. Further, Children’s Hospital physicians recorded the discovery of ‘older injuries.’
