This is not looked at the media. But, this is must see video. I encourage you to view the video. Bailey's case needs to be re-open.
From Truthdig:
Reported by The Center for Investigative Reporting
On August 2, 2007, journalist Chauncey Bailey was gunned down in Oakland, California. Bailey was investigating Your Black Muslim Bakery, a once prominent Oakland African-American organization. The next day, Bakery leader Yusuf Bey IV was arrested during a raid for a separate kidnapping case. Police placed Bey and two associates involved in the case, his brother Joshua Bey and Tamon Halfin, in a San Leandro police department room, where they were secretly videotaped.
Bey IV has repeatedly told police he knew nothing about Bailey’s death. But, on the tape, Bey IV says he hid the gun used in the attack, and brags of playing “hella dumb” when investigators asked him about the killing.

I remember this vividly in California. It was a terrible crime that happened to a really good man. They set up the defendant, no honor among thieves. And they would have sacrificed any of their least important members, so it seemed, to be the fall guy. I really hope justice is done on this one.
