Conviction Reached in 2007 Murder of Oakland Post Editor 
---------------------------------------------------------



A conviction has been reached in the 2007 murders of Oakland Post editor
Chauncey Bailey and two other men. Bailey had been investigating
possible links between a local Muslim bakery and several killings in the
area when he was gunned down in broad daylight. On Thursday, the
bakery's leader—Yusuf Bey IV —was found guilty of ordering Bailey's
killing and that of two others slain later that year. Bailey is believed
to be the first journalist killed over a domestic story in the United
States since 1976. The solving of his murder was aided by a group of
reporters who continued his investigation into the bakery.
