OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A former suburban Kansas City day care worker who was caught on surveillance video kicking, hitting and shaking children was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison.

Rachel Beth Schrader was arrested in 2021 after coworkers noticed that an infant was injured and contacted police. In a police interview, Schrader acknowledged “losing her patience” that day, but said it was the only time, according to the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/ks-state-wire-847347b7dba29b05a96ce584ae9e2716">affidavit</a>.

But the investigators who watched the surveillance video were able to document her abusing or seriously neglecting children more than 170 times in less than a month at the day care where she worked in the city of Westwood.

The affidavit describes her kicking a child square in the chest in one instance, causing him to fall backward and smack his head.

She pleaded guilty in March to four counts of child abuse.

SEDGWICK COUNTY —Former Dallas Cowboys running back and Wichita native Joseph Randle is scheduled for a competency hearing Friday, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.

In April, police arrested Randle on requested charges of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated criminal sodomy, according to the Sedgwick County arrest report.&nbsp; He is not currently in custody, according to online jail records.

Randle spent time in prison in Kansas after convictions for crimes committed in 2016 and 2017 including aggravated burglary, aggravated battery, criminal threat, interference with law enforcement and for drugs, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.

In 2015, Randle faced a misdemeanor shoplifting charge at a Dallas-area mall after police in the suburb of Frisco accused him of taking $123 worth of cologne and underwear from a department store.

In 2014, Randle was the Cowboy's backup to NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray. Randle had 343 yards rushing and three touchdowns in his second NFL season. A fifth-round draft pick in 2013 after skipping his final season at Oklahoma State, Randle originally signed a four-year, $2.3 million rookie contract with the Cowboys.

Former Cowboys running back faces competency hearing in Kansas 

NEW YORK (AP) — FTX founder&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/sam-bankman-fried">Sam Bankman-Fried’s</a>&nbsp;spectacular rise and fall in the cryptocurrency industry — a journey that included his testimony before Congress, a Super Bowl advertisement and dreams of a future run for president — hit rock bottom Thursday when a New York jury convicted him of fraud for stealing at least $10 billion from customers and investors.

After the month-long trial, jurors rejected Bankman-Fried’s claim during testimony in Manhattan federal court that he never committed fraud or meant to cheat customers before FTX, once the world’s second-largest crypto exchange, collapsed into bankruptcy a year ago.

“Mr. Bankman-Fried. Please rise and face the jury,” Judge Lewis A. Kaplan commanded just before a jury forewoman responded “guilty” seven times to two counts of wire fraud, two counts of wire fraud conspiracy and three other conspiracy charges, which carry potential penalties adding up to 110 years in prison. Bankman-Fried is likely to face far less than the maximum at a sentencing set for March 28.

As the verdict was read, Bankman-Fried seemed stunned, appearing stone-faced, his hands clasped before him, as his lawyers remained sitting beside him. When he sat down, he looked down for several minutes.

His lawyer, Mark Cohen, later read a statement outside court to say they “respect the jury’s decision. But we are very disappointed with the result.”

“Mr. Bankman Fried maintains his innocence and will continue to vigorously fight the charges against him,” Cohen said.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, who sat in the front row of the spectator section during the verdict, stood before cameras outside the courthouse and said Bankman-Fried “perpetrated one of the biggest financial frauds in American history, a multibillion dollar scheme designed to make him the king of crypto.”

“But here’s the thing: The cryptocurrency industry might be new. The players like Sam Bankman-Fried might be new. This kind of fraud, this kind of corruption is as old as time and we have no patience for it,” he said.

He said the case should serve as a warning to every other fraudster who “thinks they're untouchable, that their crimes are too complex,” that they are too powerful to prosecute or can talk their way out of their crimes because “I promise we'll have enough handcuffs for all of them.”

The jury rejected Bankman-Fried insistence during three days of testimony that he never committed fraud or plotted to steal from customers, investors and lenders and didn’t realize his companies were at least $10 billion in debt until October 2022.

After the jury left the room, Bankman-Fried's parents, both Stanford University law professors, moved to the front row behind him. His father put his arm around his wife. As Bankman-Fried was led out of the courtroom, he looked back and nodded toward his mother, who nodded back and then became emotional, wiping her hand over her face after he left the room.

The trial attracted intense interest with its focus on a fraud on a scale not seen since the 2009 prosecution of Bernard Madoff, whose Ponzi scheme over decades cheated thousands of investors out of about $20 billion. Madoff pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 150 years in prison, where he died in 2021.

The prosecution of Bankman-Fried, 31, put a spotlight on the emerging industry of cryptocurrency and a group of young executives in their 20s who lived together in a $30 million luxury apartment in the Bahamas as they dreamed of becoming the most powerful player in a new financial field.

Prosecutors made sure jurors knew that the defendant they saw in court with short hair and a suit was not the man with big messy hair and shorts that became his trademark appearance after he started his cryptocurrency hedge fund, Alameda Research, in 2017 and FTX, his cryptocurrency exchange, two years later.

They showed the jury pictures of Bankman-Fried sleeping on a private jet, sitting with a deck of cards and mingling at the Super Bowl with celebrities including the singer Katy Perry. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos called Bankman-Fried someone who liked “celebrity chasing.”

In a closing argument, Cohen said prosecutors were trying to turn “Sam into some sort of villain, some sort of monster.”

“It’s both wrong and unfair, and I hope and believe that you have seen that it’s simply not true,” he said. “According to the government, everything Sam ever touched and said was fraudulent.”

The government relied heavily on the testimony of three former members of Bankman-Fried’s inner circle, his top executives including his former girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, to explain how Bankman-Fried used Alameda Research to siphon billions of dollars from customer accounts at FTX.

With that money, prosecutors said, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate gained influence and power through investments, contributions, tens of millions of dollars in political contributions, Congressional testimony and a publicity campaign that enlisted celebrities like comedian Larry David and football quarterback Tom Brady.

Ellison, 28, testified that Bankman-Fried directed her while she was chief executive of Alameda Research to commit fraud as he pursued ambitions to lead huge companies, spend money influentially and run for U.S. president someday. She said he thought he had a 5% chance to eventually be U.S. president.

Becoming tearful as she described the collapse of the cryptocurrency empire last November, Ellison said the revelations that caused customers collectively to demand their money back, exposing the fraud, brought a “relief that I didn’t have to lie anymore.”

FTX cofounder Gary Wang, who was FTX’s chief technology officer, revealed in his testimony that Bankman-Fried directed him to insert code into FTX’s operations so that Alameda Research could make unlimited withdrawals from FTX and have a credit line up to $65 billion. Wang said the money came from customers.

Nishad Singh, the former head of engineering at FTX, testified that he felt “blindsided and horrified” at the result of the actions of a man he once admired when he saw the extent of the fraud. He said the collapse last November left him suicidal.

Ellison, Wang and Singh all pleaded guilty to fraud charges and testified against Bankman-Fried in the hopes of leniency at sentencing.

Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas last December and extradited to the United States, where he was freed on a $250 million personal recognizance bond with electronic monitoring and a requirement that he remain at the home of his parents in Palo Alto, California.

His communications, including hundreds of phone calls with journalists and internet influencers, along with emails and texts, eventually got him in trouble when the judge concluded he was trying to influence prospective trial witnesses and ordered him jailed in August.

During the trial, prosecutors used Bankman-Fried’s public statements, online announcements and his Congressional testimony against him, showing how the entrepreneur repeatedly promised customers that their deposits were safe and secure as late as last Nov. 7 when he tweeted “FTX is fine. Assets are fine” as customers furiously tried to withdraw their money. He deleted the tweet the next day. FTX filed for bankruptcy four days later.

In his closing, Roos mocked Bankman-Fried’s testimony, saying that under questioning from his lawyer, the defendant’s words were “smooth, like it had been rehearsed a bunch of times?”

But under cross examination, “he was a different person,” the prosecutor said. “Suddenly on cross-examination he couldn’t remember a single detail about his company or what he said publicly. It was uncomfortable to hear. He never said he couldn’t recall during his direct examination, but it happened over 140 times during his cross-examination.”

Former federal prosecutors said the quick verdict — after only half a day of deliberation — showed how well the government tried the case.

“The government tried the case as we expected," said Joshua A. Naftalis, a partner at Pallas Partners LLP and a former Manhattan prosecutor. “It was a massive fraud, but that doesn’t mean it had to be a complicated fraud, and I think the jury understood that argument.”

SEDGWICK COUNTY — A man accused in a deadly Sunday morning shooting outside a Wichita nightclub made his first court appearance Wednesday.

Terrence Johnson, 33 of Wichita, is charged with 1st degree murder, two counts of aggravated battery, criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon and a misdemeanor count of battery, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.

Police reported the arrest just before 1p.m. Tuesday. Police have not reported details on the arrest.&nbsp;

At 12:30 a.m. Sunday, police were monitoring at Onyx, 10001 E. Kellogg in Wichita, when they heard multiple gunshots, according to Officer Kris Gupilan.

First responders located 23-year-old Jaylon Pete of Wichita in the parking lot with multiple gunshot wounds. EMS transported him to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

Two other individuals, a 26-year-old man and a 24-year-old man both of Wichita, were struck by gunfire during the shooting.&nbsp;They were transported to local area hospitals for treatment of serious non-life threatening injuries.

Preliminary findings from the ongoing investigation suggest that&nbsp; Johnson was involved in a disturbance inside the club, according to Wichita Police Lt. Aaron Moses during a Monday news conference. Johnson went outside to get a handgun and attempted to re-enter the club. but was unable to do so due to safety measured implemented by the club management.

Through extensive investigation and tips from the public, police have probable cause to believe Johnson was the shooter Sunday morning, according to Lt. Moses.&nbsp;

Less than thirty minutes after the deadly shooting, police responded to a domestic violence call in the 1700 Block of North Pinecrest in Wichita. During the investigation of the call, officers arrested Johnson for alleged misdemeanor criminal damage to property.  Police had no information at that time Johnson was a suspect in the deadly nightclub shooting.

At 2:16a.m., officers booked Johnson into the Sedgwick County Jail for the criminal damage case and he bonded out just after 3:30a.m., according to online jail records. Police didn't identify him as a suspect in the nightclub killing until afternoon Sunday.&nbsp; &nbsp;They arrested him again late Tuesday morning, according to Gupilan.&nbsp;

He remains jailed on bond of one-million-500-thousand dollars, according to the district attorney's office.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Roger Marshall demanded answers from Department of Homeland Secretary (DHS) Alejandro Mayorkas on the Biden administration’s failures to secure our nation’s borders ranging from the historic number of migrant crossings on the FBI Terrorist Watchlist, and the lack of urgency from this administration to get Congress answers to who and where these people are inside of our country. 

During&nbsp; the hearing Senator Marshall asked Mayorcas, “Approximately how many illegal aliens in this country who are here on asylum have direct ties to Hamas, Hezbollah, the Islamic Jihad, or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran?” The Secretary dodged the question

The Secretary did confirm over 600,000 known 'gotaways' entered our country in 2023 alone.

Highlights from Senator Marshall’s questioning includes:

On Illegal Aliens with ties to terrorist organization:&nbsp;

Mr. Secretary, approximately how many illegal aliens in this country are here on asylum have direct ties to Hamas to Hezbollah, to the Islamic Jihad or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;Senator Marshall, let me assure you that the individuals that pose a risk to our national security are our highest enforcement priority, the safety and security of the American public

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;Do you have any idea how many numbers, what those numbers are? Is that tens? Is it hundreds? Is it thousands?&nbsp;

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;An individual who poses a risk to our national security is our highest enforcement priority..

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;So you don't know the answer to the question? Do you have an answer for my question?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;I believe I have answered your question.&nbsp;

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;No, sir. You didn't. I asked you how many have direct ties to Hamas, Hezbollah, Islam jihad.

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;Will DHS and when will DHS disclose the countries of origin of people arrested by border patrol on the terrorist watch list?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;If you are referring, Senator, to the Terrorist Screening dataset, just to be precise, I would be pleased to speak with you in the appropriate context. This would not be it.

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;How many ‘gotaways’ did CBP record in fiscal year 2023?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;I believe, Senator, that number is over 600,000. And as I'm sure you are well aware, the phenomenon of ‘gotaways’ is something that has been a challenge for the Department of Homeland Security for decades…

On Chinese National’s crossings:&nbsp;

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;Would you agree with me that over 18,000 Chinese nationals, many are military-aged young men, have illegally crossed the southern border in fiscal year 2023?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;Senator, I don't have the precise number…

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;Do you know where the Chinese nationals are settling? Where are they working? Why they are here? How do you follow them?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;Senator, if an individual has fled China, and seeks asylum and qualifies for asylum, for example, if they fear persecution, an understanding of their membership in a particular social group…

Senator Marshall: I'm sure you'll agree with me that under Mr. Biden, that at least 1.7 million ‘gotaways’ have evaded apprehension at our border. How many of these known ‘gotaways’ have convictions in their entire country for rape or murder? How many of these known ‘gotaways’ had been prosecuted and deported?

How many of these known ‘gotaways’ have committed crimes in the United States since you were sworn in?

How many of these known ‘gotaways’ are trafficking fentanyl?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;We well know that the trafficking of fentanyl is not specific to a nationality - tragically, we have individuals from various countries of origin. We have American citizens trafficking in fentanyl. Fentanyl is a scourge that we must all work together to overcome.

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;Let's talk about the 169 individuals encountered on the terrorist watchlist between the ports of entry in fiscal year 2023. How many were deported? How many are jailed? How many are still in the country?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;&nbsp;Senator, with respect to the individuals on the Terrorist Screening dataset, I would be pleased to provide you with the numbers in the appropriate context.

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;The over 75,000 Special Interest aliens who crossed our border illegally this fiscal year. What are their whereabouts? How are you tracking these people?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;We have a number of ways of tracking them, Senator if in fact, they present a national security or public safety threat, we very well may detain them. If we do not believe that detention is appropriate. We have alternatives to detention.&nbsp;

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;The folks back home when they look at the evidence, they see that the DEA seized over 380 million doses of fentanyl in 2022. 73,000 Americans died from fentanyl poisoning in 2022. Mostly young adults, school aged children. And that 90% of the fentanyl&nbsp; comes from our southern border. You know considering that just last month, our border patrol had almost 270,000 encounters including 75,000 special interest aliens. Do Americans feel they're more safe today or less safe today under the policies of this administration?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;Senator, we are taking it to the cartels, to the traffickers of fentanyl, in an unprecedented way with more resources and more efficient and productive operations than ever before.

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;But you would agree with me that Americans feel less safe today than they did before the start of this administration. And your testimony has solidified the view that American people they don't have confidence in the job that you're doing. This is why I believe the defining issue in this next election is going to be exactly this. Are our families safer today than they were three years ago?&nbsp;

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;In April, in sworn testimony before this committee, you insisted and I'll quote you, “If somebody errantly sends me an email on my personal email that should have been sent to my work email, I forwarded to my work email…” Despite that, a FOIA lawsuit by Americans for Prosperity has uncovered hundreds of pages of records reflecting your personal use of personal email account and cell phone for official DHS business since you assumed the office of Secretary. We sent you a letter on July 13, asking for additional questions on your in your suborders adherence to this DHS policy on the use of non DHS emails, but thus far, you failed to respond to me. Will you commit to getting the answers to our letter?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;I'll be happy to look at your inquiry and respond accordingly. What you just articulated is perfect evidence of the fact that I have followed the rules.

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;And that explains why there's hundreds of pages of records reflecting your personal email account and cell phone for official DHS business?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;Senator, you mistake the facts.

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;In May, the Biden Administration said when Title 42 ended that migrants would face tougher consequences. And I quote, “that there are tougher consequences if they were caught crossing the border illegally.” But just in the last border crossing numbers from this past week, the Biden Administration's actions showed that border patrol released. with no consequences, 156,000 migrants into the U.S. in September alone. Mr. Secretary, what are the consequences your administration threatens?&nbsp;

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:&nbsp;Removal and return of individuals under Title Eight of the United States Code is one example of a consequence that we deliver. In fact, in fiscal year 2023, we removed or returned more than 620,000 individuals. Just recently, we announced that we negotiated an agreement with Venezuela for the first time.

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;So you sent back 10 maybe 200 people, but there's tens of thousands of them still here. How do you explain the 156,000 migrants in September alone that were released without any consequences?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:: That is incorrect.&nbsp;

Senator Marshall:&nbsp;So you didn't release 156,000 migrants into the United States?

ALLEN COUNTY —A week after assaulting a police officer, a woman being held in a Kansas jail is accused of attempting to kill another person

According to the Allen County Sheriff, deputies arrested 26-year-old Raven Gomez and her boyfriend 45-year-old Brandon David at a rural residence south of Moran, Kansas following the violent assault of a police officer in Jasper, Missouri.

Held in the Allen County, Kansas jail since her arrest, Gomez allegedly assault another woman in custody with a meal tray during lunch. The attack caused the inmate to fall on the floor and her glasses were broken when Gomez possibly stepped on them. Holding onto the woman's hair, Gomez used a piece of the broken glass as a weapon and struck the inmate in her face, neck, head and other parts of the body.

Gomez later told investigators she planned the attack and intended to kill the other inmate, according to the Allen County Sheriff. Gomez remains jailed on a $100,000 bond.

ALLEN COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating two suspects on multiple allegations after an altercation with police.

Just before 9p.m. Oct. 16, a Jasper, Missouri&nbsp; police officer responded to a disturbance in progress at Pete’s Convenience Store in Jasper. Upon arrival, the officer made contact with 26-year-old Raven Gomez and 45-year-old Brandon David both of Columbia.

During a pat search for weapons on Gomez, she punched the officer in the face, knocked the female officer to the ground causing her to hit her head on the pavement.

The hit to the pavement caused the officer to become disoriented

Brandon David got out of the passenger seat of the suspect vehicle, and punched the female officer several times in the face and then ran around to the driver’s seat of the patrol vehicle and it appears he was attempting to steal it.

Police believe he wasn’t smart enough to figure out how to put the vehicle in drive due to the different gear shift newer vehicles have.

Gomez who was the driver of the suspect vehicle got into her vehicle and while backing up, the vehicle’s tire ran over the officer’s foot, and again ran over the officer’s foot when moving forward.

David ended up getting out of the patrol vehicle and back into the suspect vehicle. The two were able to get away, last seen northbound on Interstate 49 in a dark blue Chevy Cruze with a Missouri license of BG1B5C.

&nbsp;The officer was transported to a local hospital where she was treated for her injuries and released.&nbsp;

Deputies tracked these two down to a property five miles southeast of Moran, Kansas Wednesday evening.&nbsp; Deputies and assisted by&nbsp;Bourbon County Kansas Sheriff's Office&nbsp;deputies, took the suspects into custody without incident.

Jasper County prosecutors have officially filed 1st degree assault charges on both Gomez and David with bond set at $50,000 cash only and other conditions. They face additional charges in Kansas.
