Matthew Leone's (Madina Lake) Attacker Found Not Guilty

Matthew Leone's (bassist of Madina Lake) attacker Justin Pivec, who brutally assaulted Leone in 2010, has been found not guilty by a Chicago court.

Nathan Leone of the band released the following message:

"We're utterly baffled and shocked to get a 'not guilty' verdict in the Justin Pivec attempted murder case. Admittedly, we're not well versed in the justice system but today a vicious coward was given a free pass for beating his wife and almost killing my brother. This has taken a tremendous toll on all of us for two years and though we're devastated. We will continue to focus on the positive. which is that Matthew is still with us and hopefully this has spread awareness for victims of domestic violence. More later as we attempt to comprehend this."
