A 73-year-old Grant City resident was acquitted of trying to purchase a gun to kill his ex-girlfriend.
Charles Baeza had faced four years in prison after he allegedly attempted to purchase a handgun and silencer from an undercover officer at a Dongan Hills pizzeria on Aug. 18, 2011.
Baeza, who since his arrest had spent 15 months in lockup, pleaded not guilty to charges of felony conspiracy, misdemeanor stalking and criminal solicitation.
He and his ex had a falling out after she failed to repay a loan for dental work, sources previously reported.
Baeza, who has been released from jail, did not testify and the DA’s Office did not comment on Tuesday’s verdict.
“He’s a free man now because the system worked,” said defense lawyer Matthew Santamauro.
Baeza was on parole at the time he was arrested after serving 20 years behind bars for killing his estranged wife, Ruth Baeza, 52, in August 1990.
