CHARLESTON â A jury apparently believed a man was stopping a crime when he beat another man he found masturbating in front of two children.
The jury returned a not guilty verdict against Jesse A. Baird, who never denied beating the other man after finding him fondling himself in front of the children, ages 1 and 2, at a Mattoon apartment last year.
Coles County State s Attorney Jesse Danley called the other man s action deplorable but described what Baird did as vigilante justice.
