Olathe father sentenced in 3-week-old’s death

OLATHE (AP) – An Olathe man who pleaded no contest in the death of his 3-week-old son was sentenced to 10 years and three months in prison.

The Kansas City Star reports 26-year-old Aaron Snyder was sentenced Monday in Johnson County District Court after a plea agreement.

Snyder pleaded no contest in April to reckless second-degree murder.

His son, Logan Snyder, died in January 2011. Prosecutors said the baby suffered trauma consistent with being shaken.
