Monday, May 7, 2012 Man Found Not Guilty Of Attacking Musician Who Interrupted Wife Beating CHICAGO -- A man who was reportedly interrupted by a Chicago musician while brutally beating his wife was found not guilty last week in the attack that followed. On June 29, 2010, Justin Pivec was reportedly beating and choking his wife in the 1300 block of West Ohio Street when she spotted Madina Lake bassist Matthew Leone and yelled for him to call police, the Chicago Tribune reports. When Leone attempted to intervene, Pivec allegedly attacked the 35-year-old musician. "He's a Good Samaritan who got the worst end of it," a police source told the Tribune at the time. "This is a guy who if he had not gotten immediate treatment could have taken a bad, bad turn."
