SALINA — On Tuesday morning, Nicholas Corbin and Desirah Overturf made their first appearances via video chat in connection with the death of a 3-month-old boy.

Saline County District Court Judge Patrick Thompson spoke to Nicholas Corbin first, listing the charges against him by the state of Kansas.

“You killed intentionally with premeditation, you agreed to commit or assist with holding back sustenance intentionally, you knowingly tortured him and you caused or permitted him to be put in harm,” Thompson said.

After the charges were listed, Thompson gave Corbin the option to obtain an attorney by the court.

Corbin said he did not want a lawyer.

“I’m calling it guilty and calling it good,” he said.

Thompson convinced him to at least talk to a lawyer then decide if he does not want one.

The same charges were read to Overturf, who also said she would speak with an attorney before making a decision on representation.

They are scheduled to make their next appearance in court on Jan. 16.

Thompson said that neither are to have contact with each other during the time of the trial.
