A Salina teenager who pleaded guilty in the death of his 9-year-old stepbrother has been referred to a psychiatric hospital.
Ryan Velez of Assaria pleaded guilty in September to unintentional but reckless second-degree murder in the shooting death of his stepbrother, Kaden Harper. Velez had been certified to stand trial as an adult.
The Salina Journal reported that Velez is referred to Larned State Hospital on Wednesday. His lawyer, Mitch Christians, said Larned is better equipped to deal with Velez’s mental health needs than prison.
A sentence report recommended Velez be admitted to Larned. His maximum stay will be about 10 years, the maximum prison sentence he could have received.

A Kansas City, Kan., woman has been accused of leaving three children alone in a car in 40-degree weather while she gambled in a casino.
WDAF-TV reports that Katrina Denise Roades is charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Police said Roades left the children, ages 9, 8 and six months, in a parked car while she went into the casino on March 3. A security officer found 1 of the older girls wandering in the parking lot. The child led the officer to the family’s car, where he found the other children.
Police believe Roades was inside the casino for about an hour and a half.
Roades also faces a trespassing charge because her name was on voluntary self-exclusion list designed as a tool for compulsive gamblers.

As then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously said about health care reform, “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it.”
Friday marks the second anniversary of the new law’s enactment. In two years, we’ve found out the law cuts Medicare and raises billions in new taxes.
We’ve found out many employers are dropping, and still more are planning to drop, the coverage they provide so if you like what you have now you may not be able to keep it. We’ve found out the law is so unpopular that the government has granted more than 1,700 waivers to exempt labor unions and others from participation.
And, we’ve found out the law’s mandates may be unconstitutional. Kansas and other states are challenging them before the Supreme Court later this month.
That’s why I am working to repeal health care reform. It’s one anniversary I don’t want to observe again.

The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism will hold open houses at state parks later this month.
The free events are scheduled for Saturday, March 31, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at all state parks. The agency says the open houses will offer visitors a chance to see facilities and recreation opportunities.
Staff will also be demonstrating the department’s new system for streamlining park reservations throughout the state. The Outdoor Reservation Management System goes online on April 17.
A committee in the Kansas House expects to debate proposals next week for cracking down on illegal immigration.
Chairman Steve Brunk, a Bel Aire Republican, says the Federal and State Affairs Committee will take up immigration issues Monday.
Brunk said the panel will start with a proposal to require government contractors to check the immigration status of their workers using the federal E-Verify database.
Also before the committee are bills making it a crime to knowingly harbor an illegal immigrant; requiring applicants for government assistance to prove they’re in the U.S. legally; and directing law enforcement officers to check the status of some people they stop.
Meanwhile, business groups are promoting a bill to create a program for placing illegal immigrants in hard-to-fill jobs.
Twenty-three Kansas hospitals will share more than $10 million in Medicaid incentive payments for moving toward electronic health records.
The Department of Health and Environment says the incentives will be distributed over three years, with the first payments being made Thursday.
The hospitals are being rewarded for taking steps to improve medical coordination and improving services for patients.
Along with the hospitals, KDHE says 10 medical professionals will share about $212,000 for participating in the electronic records program.
