Hall convicted Friday of first-degree murder

By BAILEY POOLMAN CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

BEDFORD — Charles Emanuel Hall, 25, of Bedford was convicted of first-degree murder, a class A felony, and child endangerment resulting in serious injury, a forcible C felony, at about 4:30 p.m. Friday at Taylor County Courthouse in Bedford.

“Such a young life. Such a cruel death,” said Douglas Hammerand, assistant Iowa attorney general for the prosecution.

“I can’t do this, man. ... Kiss my baby.”

after being convicted of firstdegree murder in Bedford

The guilty verdict was read by Judge John Lloyd when the jury, made of 10 men and two women, came to a conclusion after nearly three hours of deliberation, the culmination of a five-day trial to prove or disprove Hall’s charges.

“I can’t do this, man,” Hall said

after the verdict was read. When he was escorted from the courtroom, he also said, “Kiss my baby.”

The conviction of Hall stemmed from a May 2015 investigation into the death of Janyiah King, the 3-year-old daughter of Hall.

Hall’s sentencing is scheduled for 11 a.m. Feb. 16 at Taylor County Courthouse in Bedford.

A conviction of first-degree murder comes with a manditory prison sentence, and maximum sentence of life in prison without parole.

What happened

According to information stated by counsel during the trial, April Clair, 25, of Bedford, the live-in girlfriend of Hall and mother to another of Hall’s children, left her residence, 806 Washington St., Bedford, around 9 a.m. May 22 to visit a cousin with an injury. Clair had several children with her, and several children were still in school.

Clair left Janyiah with Hall.

After Clair purchased groceries for her cousin’s family at HyVee at 9:23 a.m., she returned to

She picked Janyiah up, thinking she was playing by ignoring Clair, and discovered she was not breathing and did not have a pulse. She placed her on a rug outside the bathroom.

At 11:36 a.m., Clair called 911.

One dead after ice fishing accident near Leon LEON — At least one man has died after two fishermen fell through the ice Sunday afternoon at Little River Lake west of Leon.

Leon Fire Chief Doug Moffett said the fire department received a call around 2 p.m. Sunday that two men had fallen through the ice. Leon, Corning, Red Oak and Mount Ayr dive teams responded to the scene. Council Bluffs was called and would arrive later.

Moffett, who also ice fishes, said warm temperatures had made the ice too thin, and the rescue team could hear it cracking as they worked.

“When we got there, we were able to hear them and everything, but due to the ice it was hard to get to them,” Moffett said.

Moffett said the first man was recovered within a few hours. He was unconscious

and was airlifted from the scene to Des Moines, where his condition is unknown at this time.

At about 9 p.m., a Council Bluffs team arrived with a hovercraft. Moffett said they were then able to bring up the body of the second man in about 10 minutes after Council Bluffs arrived.

The body was taken to the medical examiner at Decatur County Hospital. The names of both men have not yet been released.

Moffett said he does not recommend going out on the ice at this time.

“It had been 50 degrees one day down here,” he said. “Our ice down here is dark. Anytime you see dark ice you don’t need to be on it.”

minutes later. Clair, the sheriff’s deputies and the medical examiner investigator all claimed Janyiah was cold to the touch.

According to a Taylor County Sheriff report, during the investigation into the death of Janyiah, Hall said two weeks prior to the charges, Janyiah knocked a pot of boiling water off the stove onto herself and he did not seek medical attention. Clair said within four days prior to the charges, Janyiah had fallen at least three times down a staircase, from the second to first floor of the residence, and did not seek medical attention.

According to a Taylor County report, during an initial examination of Janyiah’s body, investigators also found multiple severe burns and injuries on the right side of her face and on her lower back, buttocks and thighs.

She also had swelling in her hands and thighs.

After an autopsy was conducted at the Iowa office of the State Medical Examiner in Ankeny in May, and more tests were sought by four hospitals in the Midwest, the cause of Janyiah’s death was officially released as asphyxiation by drowning in August.

Defense Michael Adams, Hall’s counsel, gave a closing statement in defense of Hall and asked the jury to give a verdict of not guilty on both counts of first-degree murder and child endangerment resulting in serious injury.

“I’m not going to defend, or try to defend, Mr. Hall’s parenting,” Adams said, “but, I do think there’s more to the case than him being a bad parent.”

Adams said there was cause for doubt in the resulting cause of Janyiah’s death. Questioning early in the week of Dr. Dennis Klein, deputy state medical examiner, showed that signs of death by seizure and hypothermia present similarly to that of asphyxia by drowning.

“When April (Clair) found Janyiah, she picked her up off the floor,” Adams said. “She was cold. She described a breath sound Janyiah made, and what else happened? Janyiah’s eyes opened up. That’s what April testified.”

Adams also mentioned the lack of forensic testing done on fluids found in Janyiah’s stomach, lungs and sinus cavity, on her underwear, in a nearby bathtub and on the area rug where she was lying . Adams suggested Hall didn’t kill his daughter simply because that day Hall, Clair and the rest of their ers know your destination and not forgetting your fully-charged cell phone.

Duckworth said power outages are possible Tuesday and suggests having a plan of action if that does occur.

Drifting will continue Wednesday with high temperature in the 20s and an overnight low of 10 degrees.

Temperatures are expected to warm up by the weekend with Saturday’s high in the

family were taking a trip to Chicago to return Janyiah to the custody of her mother.

“This case, all this case, is only as good as all the components that make up this case,” Adams said. “The idea that Charles killed Janyiah simply does not make sense.”

Prosecution During the prosecution’s closing statement and rebuttal, Hammerand said there were several testimonies given by witnesses who, between May 7 and 21, saw Hall hit Janyiah with a white stick on the hands, buttocks and legs. One minor witness testified he or she saw Hall put Janyiah’s face into a blanket or pillow while hitting her with the stick, and had also made Janyiah hold a box of DVDs out with both arms, and if her arms drooped, he would hit her with the stick.

On the day of Janyiah’s death, according to prosecuting statements, Hall said he was awake between 10 and 11 a.m., did a few things with his daughter and went out to have a cigar.

However, a witness made a statement that she saw Hall on the porch of the residence around 9 a.m. Hall also never told officers he left the property, and according to video footage at Casey’s General Store, Hall was seen purchasing the cigar at 10:13 a.m. upper 30s.

This is only the second notable s n o w s t o r m for Creston this winter.

Creston received about 4 inches of Duckworth snowfall during a snowstorm in late December.

“April left when Janyiah was alive,” Hammerand said. “And, when she arrived, Janyiah was dead.”

According to counsel statements, when Clair arrived back at the residence, Hall was smoking the cigar and leaning against their car.

After Clair discovered Janyiah’s body in the bathroom, testing was done on the 3-year-old’s body. Body fluid samples were taken, and the discovery of pulmonary congestion, thin fluid in the nostrils and fluid in the stomach, sinus cavity and lungs showed, according to the prosecution, this was not an accidental incident.

“If that is not a fixed purpose to do harm, what is?”

Hammerand said.

Clair Clair agreed to a plea deal during her pretrial conference in September in Bedford.

She pleaded guilty to child endangerment resulting in bodily injury, a class D felony. This is a lesser charge than her original charge of child endangerment resulting in serious injury, a forcible C felony. Clair agreed to testify truthfully against Hall, and in doing so, was not reverted back to her original charge.

Clair’s sentencing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Feb. 16 at the Taylor County Courthouse. This D felony comes with a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

Panthers dominate for fifth straight H-10 tourney title

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

HARLAN — The Creston/O-M wrestling team won its fifth straight Hawkeye 10 Conference Tournament here Saturday, piecing together yet another dominating performance.

With 145-pounder Mitchel Swank out because of mononucleosis, head coach Darrell Frain had anticipated a close competition for the team title with Glenwood and Lewis Central.

It was a close race — just not at the top.

All 13 Panther wrestlers advanced to the semifinals and nine of those advanced to the finals. Creston/O-M won six of nine championship matches on its way to scoring 275 points.

Glenwood won a close three-team battle with Atlantic and Lewis Central for the runner-up spot with 188.5 points. Atlantic finished third with 186.5 points and Lewis Central was fourth with 184 points.

“I didn’t anticipate that,”

Wyatt Thompson (138), Joey Huntington (145), Cameron Leith (160), Chase Shiltz (170), Seth Maitlen (195) and Kadon Hulett (220) all won individual titles for the Panthers. Jacob Goodson (113), Kelby Luther (120) and Trevor Marlin (126) all finished as runner-up.

Cade Vicker (106) and Jackson Mikkelsen (182) took third in their respective weight classes. Heavyweight Cody Tanner finished fifth and Brody Frain, who entered the lineup in Swank’s absence, finished sixth at 152 pounds after having to forfeit his final match because of a knee injury.

It was that team depth Haggstrom of Glenwood. Maitlen, ranked third, won a that made it such a dominant 10-1 major decision.

Frain said. “I really did think it was going to be a tight score.

When you get some of those third seeds winning in the semis, the lead gets up there real fast. We had a lot of kids step up today and wrestle re-

performance by the Panthers.

“You look at the guys that step up each day. That’s what it’s about,” Frain said. “All those lightweights coming through, even though they weren’t champions, battling to get third and they score points for you. Having Brody step in, even though he couldn’t finish because of injury, he stepped in and scored points for us.

“Those are the guys that make us better than what people think. They all look at guys like Shiltz and Maitlen and Hulett and Wyatt Thompson, but those are the guys that put us over the top against some of these teams.”

Expanding matches

One of the biggest things Frain was looking for from his team on Saturday was expanding in matches.

“We want to set a pace and we want the mental part of it (to be strong) and to expand each time,” he said. “If we’re

getting beat, close the gap. If we’re winning, expand on it.

Right now we’re getting pretty good at that.”

Maitlen was a prime example of expanding. The third-ranked senior won a 6-5 decision over Glenwood’s sixth-ranked Zach Haggstrom on Dec. 15.

But in Saturday’s 195-pound final, Maitlen controlled the pace and won a 10-1 major decision over Haggstrom.

“That’s a tough weight class,” Frain said. “All those guys — (Hayden) Waldstein, the LC wrestler didn’t even make it to the semifinal and he was ranked most of the year until he got injured. It shows you how tough that weight class is. Seth expanded. It wasn’t a one-point, twopoint win. He did what he had to do and got big wins, so excited for him.”

“He’s a very good wrestler,” Maitlen said. “I just

knew I needed to go out and be physical and do what I do.

When you wrestle hard for six full minutes, it all works out.”

Luther also showed expansion at 120 pounds, winning a 4-2 decision over Harlan’s Brandon Trevino in the semifinals after losing by fall to Trevino in the dual on Jan. 7.

“We just changed a couple of things this week watching film with him,” Frain said. “It worked out for us. I’m excited for him to take that step, now we just have to take another one next week.”

Fourth-ranked Hulett was a 2-1 victor over Seth Gehling of Kuemper Catholic in the dual on Jan. 5, but won a 9-2 decision in Saturday’s championship match.

In one of the biggest matches of the day, topranked Shiltz dominat- Hulett ed second-ranked Anthony Sherry of Glenwood in the 170-pound final.

After a scoreless first period, Shiltz was never threatened in a 7-1 decision.

Second-ranked Thompson had a dominant day at 138 pounds, winning by a pair of first-period falls and then winning an 11-3 major decision over Tim Sibbel of Kuemper Catholic.

Huntington, who dropped down to 145 pounds with Swank out of the lineup, picked up a 17-0 technical fall and a pair of pins on his way to the finals. After trailing early, Huntington won a 6-3 decision over Shenandoah’s Jake Johnson in the finals.

Taylor becomes 5-player scoring leader PETERSON Creston coach Taylor charge the home team with

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

It was both a historic and successful weekend for the Creston girls basketball team.

Senior Jenna Taylor surpassed 2007 graduate Katie McKim as the program’s all-time five-player career scorer as the Panthers completed a Page County sweep of Shenandoah and Essex Friday and Saturday.

Creston, now 9-6 overall, improved to 4-4 in Hawkeye 10 play with a solid defensive effort Friday in a 45-37 victory at Shenandoah, avenging an earlier 43-31 loss in Creston.

One night later the Creston school bus took much the same path on a trip to Essex, a Corner Conference team that was 15-1 before suffering a 5844 nonconference loss to the Panthers after falling behind 27-10.

Taylor had a team-high 14 points and eight rebounds in Friday’s victory to move within four points of McKim’s career total of 856 points. (See related chart). Leanne Owens, now third on the career list, holds the single-season record of 457 points.

With seven minutes left in the second quarter Saturday at Essex, Taylor took a pass from Camryn Somers on the right wing, and made a power move to the basket for a short bank shot to give Creston a 25-7 lead.

Those two points pushed Taylor ahead of McKim, and she would finish with eight points for a new leading total of 860 points.

“That just shows what hard work can do,” said Creston coach Brent Douma. “She made herself into that kind of a basketball player by spending hours in the gym. It’s a fantastic honor for her to pass Katie McKim. The message

Eventually, Shenandoah’s parade to the free throw line took its toll on Creston’s boys basketball team here Friday in a 67-63 loss to the Mustangs.

Creston led 33-27 at halftime and stretched the lead to nine at 41-21 with 1:24 left in the third period.

Shenandoah got within 41-39 before the end of the quarter on two straight conventional three-point plays (free throw after a basket)

by Steven Martin and senior Makonn Anderson, the school’s career scoring leader.

When Cooper McDermott and Kylan Smallwood scored for the Panthers with five minutes to play, Creston held a 48-43 advantage.

From there, Shenandoah closed on a 24-15 run.

Twice, after Creston trained by only two points, Shenandoah players grabbed an offensive rebound after a missed Mustang free throw and converted baskets while being fouled. Suddenly, Shenandoah was in front 62-54 with only 57 seconds left.

For the game, Creston was whistled for 28 fouls and the Mustangs went 28of-36 at the free throw line.

The Mustangs had 18 fouls with the Panthers going 1217 at the line.

Center Tucker Flynn and reserve Deaven Reese fouled out for Creston, and four other Panthers had four violations.

“Free throws were big for us tonight,” said Shenandoah coach Jason Shaffer.

“We were making them tonight. That’s good in a hard-fought game like this.

Creston has gotten better than when we played them

Creston’s Jenna Taylor reaches for a pass against Essex defender Anna Carlson (45) during Saturday’s nonconference game. Taylor had 16 rebounds and scored eight points in passing Katie McKim as Creston’s career scoring leader in girls five-player basketball.

going forward to our girls is, there’s what hard work can do for you.”

Taylor said she appreciated the ovation she received from teammates while running upcourt after scoring the record-breaking basket. She also recalled watching McKim play as a youth, dreaming of being a varsity player like the former Panther sharpshooter who went on to play at Central College. Katie McKim is the younger sister of Panther assistant coach Ryan McKim. “I remember in second and third grades, going to their games, and I always looked up to her,” Taylor said. “It’s definitely pretty awesome to be mentioned in the same sentence with her. She texted me (Sunday) and told me congratulations. That’s pretty sweet.”

Phipps said his young team gave a strong effort, but couldn’t overcome the foul issues.

“We did a great job of coming out and being focused and locked in, doing things the right way on both ends of the floor,” Phipps said. “We got a couple of cheap fouls we didn’t need early and that kind of hurts you in the long run. I told our guys that we haven’t quite learned how to finish out games. It’s tough when they’re shooting twice as many free throws. Our kids gave great effort from start to finish.”

During the second half Phipps walked across to the student section after one of the officials raised an issue about a remark she heard during play. Phipps reminded the students they were there to cheer for their team, not to make remarks

a technical foul for inappropriate behavior.

“I didn’t think it was anything that was that big of a deal, but I reminded them they were there to support our team,” Phipps said.

Martin went 11-12 at the line and scored 23 points as Shenandoah improved to 9-5 overall and 3-5 in Hawkeye 10 play. Anderson had a triple-double with 20 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists.

Smallwood scored 15 points for Creston, now 3-11 and 1-6 in the conference. Cody Crawford, McDermott and Evan Jacobson also scored in double figures.

Creston is scheduled to play at Glenwood on Tuesday.

decision and a 6-4 decision over Lewis Central’s Cory Lear to reach the finals, where he won a 9-5 decision over Harlan’s Jacob Wingert. “A lot of times I talk to the kids about how you approach your last round,� Frain said. “When you get six of nine wins in the finals, that’s a pretty good round. Every one of them did great. Some of them expected to win, but they all got bigger leads or expanded on matches they had before.

They all did great.�

Five straight

Winning five straight Hawkeye 10 Conference Tournament championships is a major accomplishment for Frain and his program, but it’s a launching pad for bigger goals. “It’s not one of your major goals, but it’s a stepping stone to where you need to be,� he said. “We used to train through this. Even the year we won state, we didn’t win it.

We’ve started putting a little more emphasis on it now. It’s really important to the com-

Points came at more of a premium against the active Panther zone on Friday.

Hughes and Ehlers had eight points each, as the team leader was McKaya O’Neil with 16. “We really played well,�

Douma said. “Defensively we were solid all night. We had stats you like to see — only nine fouls on the night, yet we played aggressively with 16 steals, and they only shot three free throws. They only had 19 points going into the fourth quarter. And they’re a pretty good team!�

The offense had balanced scoring Friday as well as Saturday, led by Taylor’s 14 points with nine each by Taylor Briley and Brielle Baker.

Rapid start

On Saturday, the Panthers were hot from the field from the start. Camryn Somers had six points as Creston moved to a 10-0 lead before Essex got on the board at the 4:22 mark of the first period on two free throws by Jescenia Mosley.

Creston was in front 21-7 after one quarter against a Trojanette team that had only lost to Bill Huntington’s Sidney team in the finals of the Corner Conference Tournament.

The margin reached 20 points at 27-7 on a fast break layup

by Somers with 6:30 left in the

munity and the school. Sometimes you have to approach it that way. They make a big deal out of it and so we make a big deal out of it.�

The community support has helped the Panther wrestling program reach this sustained level of success. “Everybody buys in. That’s what it is,� Frain said. “It isn’t so much that we do anything better, it’s just that everybody buys into what we do and they give it everything they’ve got.

They love the approach of the program. That pays off as you buy in.�

Maitlen said the Panthers still have more goals to check off their list this year. “It’s kind of weird how you win it so often, it kind of loses its prestige,� Maitlen said. “But looking at your conference, we’re really good. Being able to win five of them and being part of four, my senior class, we worked hard and we have high goals set. This is just the beginning of them.�

Creston/O-M returns to action Saturday at the Class 2A sectional meet in Winterset, where wrestling starts at 12 p.m.

Frain said he expects to find out today whether or first half.

From that point, Class 1A Essex outscored the Class 4A Panthers 37-31. “We talked at halftime, and I told the girls they gave them a 16-point head start,� said Essex coach Jay Soderberg. “Now we have to try to battle back out of that hole. It was nerves. They shot the ball really well early.�

Somers finished with 15 points, Baker made four 3-pointers in scoring 14, Briley was 6-of-6 at the line in netting 10 points and both Taylor and Rutherford finished with eight. Taylor hauled in 16 rebounds and Briley dished out seven assists. “We came out good in the first quarter. Camryn was hitting some shots and we were aggressive defensively,� Douma said. “Offensively we were active as well. In the second quarter we slowed down a little bit, and we weren’t getting as much movement offensively. In the second half I thought we kind of played not to lose.

We gave up way too many offensive rebounds. But we got a win, and after a long day at the (Creston) kids tournament, we’ll take it.�

Pending weather developments, this is a busy week for the Creston girls with home games Tuesday against Glenwood, Thursday against Clarinda and Friday in a girl-boy doubleheader vs. Red Oak before traveling to Atlantic on
