Yusuf Bey IV will likely spend the rest of his life in prison for ordering followers to kill Oakland Post editor Chauncey Bailey after learning the journalist was investigating financial problems at Your Black Muslim Bakery. Prosecutor Melissa Krum said the verdicts against Bey and co-defendant Antoine Mackey send the message that “the First Amendment is not going to be murdered by murdering journalists. You cannot kill the man and expect the message to be killed.” Bailey was shot multiple times at short range in August 2007,
while walking in an open-air parking lot near the Alameda County Courthouse.
