The former leader of an Oakland community group will spend the rest of his life in prison after being convicted of ordering the killings of three men, including the first American journalist killed on U.S. soil for reporting a story in more than a decade.
An Alameda County Superior Court judge sentenced Yusuf Bey IV, 25, to three life terms in prison without the possibility of parole Friday.
As head of Your Black Muslim Bakery, Bey ordered his workers to kill the men in separate attacks in July 2007, prosecutors said.
According to trial testimony, Odell Roberson, 31, was killed in retaliation for the murder of Bey's brother by Roberson's nephew.

Is that what they're calling murderous islamic gangs now?
an Oakland community group...Community organizers, I’m sure they meant. WHAT??? NO hate crime prosecution??? I don’t understand.
Oh, him again. Should’ve gotten the Big Jab.
Never happen: black A-N-D Muslim A-N-D in California. Out in seven at the max.
In 5 if he recruits enough of the other prisoners.
I hope this doesn’t spark any protests in the ‘hood.
How does this case not result in a death sentence? Makes me wonder.
California.....even if he had got it they would never have carried it out!!!
True. He actually may have a more miserable existence in Pelican Bay for life than on death row. The latter has lots of nice privileges for those whom we supposedly plan to execute.
WOOOOHOOOO! Thanks for the ping; post; link, SmithL.
