Former bakery leader accused of saying ‘white people are devils’ after killing (2)
The July 2007 slaying of Michael Wills, in which two members of Your Black Muslim Bakery have been charged, was tinged with racial overtones, yet those men aren’t charged with a hate crime. Friends and relatives of Wills, who was white, are concerned that prosecutors haven’t done all they can against defendants Yusuf Bey IV and Antoine Mackey. But experts say hate-crime cases are particularly difficult to prove and, in this case, would not bring added penalties beyond what the defendants already face.
