San Francisco 8 shackled in court

Seven of the former Black Panthers known as the "San Francisco
8"—Richard O'Neal, Richard Brown, Ray Boudreaux, Harold Taylor, Hank
Jones, Frank Torres and Anthony Bottom—were brought into a San
Francisco courtroom in shackles on May 5, despite past objections by
the defense.
Jalil Muntaquim (Anthony Bottom), imprisoned in New York, is awaiting
a decision on his challenges to extradition.
The courtroom was packed with supporters.
The defense requested motions on bail, which is now set at $3 million
for each defendant. Judge Little announced that the case is being
transferred to Judge Philip Moscone.
As this brief hearing ended, one of the defendants turned to face
supporters, smiled and lifted his fist high. The people immediately
responded by raising their fists and calling out words of
encouragement and support.
The next hearing is on June 11 at 9 a.m. in Dept. 21. A rally will
take place at 8 a.m., in front of the court building at 850 Bryant St.
