(05-06) 10:56 PDT OAKLAND -- The 90-year-old father of slain journalist Chauncey Bailey flew in from Iowa to be in the gallery Wednesday as the leader of the now-defunct Your Black Muslim Bakery made his first court appearance since being charged with ordering the 2007 murder.
However, Chauncey Bailey Sr. and other relatives who sat in the Oakland courtroom turned out to be witness to uneventful proceedings, much to their dismay. Neither bakery leader Yusuf Bey IV, 23, nor another man accused of taking part in the Oakland Post editor's slaying, Antoine Mackey, 23, had defense attorneys to handle the murder case, so Judge Morris Jacobson ordered them to get lawyers and return to Alameda County Superior Court Wednesday.
Both men were already in custody before being charged last week with Bailey's murder - Mackey on a burglary conviction and Bey on charges of kidnapping two women and torturing one of them.
They are accused in the Aug. 2, 2007, slaying of Bailey, 57, as well as the July 2007 killings of Odell Roberson Jr. and Michael Wills.

Please note how the SF Comical, perhaps alone now among the Bay Area newspapers insists on referring to this gang.
The favorite folks, for decades now, much like the late Rev. Jones of Jonestown, of Bay Area RAT politicians, who now remain silent and unaccountable.
A gang of criminal thugs - this journalist had the courage to do some actual shoe leather investigative work (rather than just print sound bites from Democrat hacks), and paid the price.
“A gang of criminal thugs”
Very well dressed, probably well spoken. Could pass for members of Farrakhan’s Security Detail. Definitely thugs.
I was thinking more along the lines of Soros/ACORN.
There were a lot of well-dressed Mafia guys.

That is hilarious! Libs always speak in the most stale cliches and think they are saying something significant. That is like calling the Mafia an Italian self-empowerment group. What a laugh!
They dress just like the Louis Farrakhan’ gang -
I see you already posted the resemblance to Farrakhan. I called them a gang - I’m thinking more of a mindset but you’re right - it’s his security detail.
