OLATHE, Kan. — A Johnson County judge has determined there is enough evidence for a father to stand trial in the death of his 3-week-old son.

After the ruling Friday, 25-year-old Aaron Snyder of Olathe pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder committed during child abuse in the January death of Logan Snyder.

Snyder's wife, Anna Grover, left Logan and his 4-year-old sibling with their father while she attended a class. Grover testified during the preliminary hearing that Snyder couldn't figure out how to get Logan to stop crying.

A deputy coroner said the boy's injuries were consistent with him being shaken and thrown.

But defense lawyer Paul Cramm said Logan's sibling could have hurt his brother.

The Kansas City Star reported that the trial is set for Oct. 17.
