Biography
The Black Panther prints Bill Brent’s account of Fred Billingslea’s death in a San Quentin cell on February 25, 1970. Brent alleges that tear gas and a beating precipitated the death of the asthmatic prisoner. This is an attributed prison-abuse account, not an adjudicated cause of death. His initial detention and completed total are unknown. The Black Panther, September22,1975, volumeXIVnumber1, original PDF page 8.
