Black Muslim Bakery leader allegedly told suspect to take the fall
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 8/21/7 | Henry K. Lee

Your Black Muslim Bakery leader Yusuf Bey IV promised the man accused of killing an Oakland journalist that he could avoid prison time if he would just "be a good soldier" and falsely confess to the shotgun slaying, the suspect's attorney said Monday.

Bey told Devaughndre Broussard, who worked as a handyman at the bakery, that the Black Muslim institution's future was at stake in the investigation into the Aug. 2 killing of Chauncey Bailey, said attorney LeRue Grim. Bey said that the black-empowerment organization had taken care of Broussard, given him a job and helped the 19-year-old become a man, and that Broussard should repay the group by confessing to the killing, Grim said.

The attorney said Broussard had related the conversation between him and Bey, which took place when investigators left the two alone in an interview room at police headquarters the day after Bailey was killed. The 57-year-old Oakland Post editor was investigating Your Black Muslim Bakery's financial difficulties, and police say Broussard told them in a subsequent confession that he had shot Bailey to death on a downtown street to silence him.

Asked by police why he was admitting to the killing, Broussard replied, "I want to be a good soldier," Grim said.

Are there any perceptive people out there who didn’t think this suspect was a fall guy?

I think he’s probably the hit man and the fall guy.

I thought when this went down that either the cops had someone in deep or they had tossed the cops a bone so they would go away.

They must have provided him with a sheep?

Muslims send others to die,
killing women and children.
Men dressed as women,
the devil is their cowardly god.
