In February, the singer pleaded guilty to soliciting an undercover cop to murder Meggan Lambesis, whom he had married eight years prior and adopted three children with; at the time, he faced up to nine years in prison. Judge Carlos Armour handed down his sentencing, which includes a 48-day credit for custody already served, in a San Diego Superior Courtroom, Radio.com reports.

Shit. Forreal? Did not expect this at all.
Wow. Haven't heard about these dudes since high school, pretty surreal. So much for being a "Christian" [QUOTE]Lambesis stated on the band's FAQ, "I'm not sure what the difference is between five Christians playing in a band and a Christian band, If you truly believe something, then it should affect every area of your life. All five of us are Christians. I believe that change should start with me first, and as a result, our lyrics do not come across very 'preachy.' Many of our songs are about life, struggles, mistakes, relationships and other issues that don't fit entirely in the spiritual category. However, all of these topics are written about through my perspective as a Christian." Lambesis stated "I can only really write about what I'm passionate about in life, so naturally my faith, my belief in the teachings of Jesus and His resurrection come across in our lyrics." However, in later years, Lambesis showed an increasing philosophical skepticism towards Christianity and religion in general: Court documents stated Lambesis emailed his wife Meggan in August 2012, while on tour with As I Lay Dying, asking for a divorce and stating he "no longer believed in God". In explaining some of the lyrics from Awakened, Lambesis stated that his studies of theology had led him to the conclusion that "tradition and truth are often at odds with each other", and while he "didn't hate all religious belief", he was finding it "very difficult for to outline exactly who it is that’s worth siding with." He also quoted the book Pagan Christianity by George Barna and Frank Viola, noting that both "Protestant and Catholic denominations have poisonous roots". While on house arrest in July 2013, after being charged with soliciting his wife's murder, Lambesis published a blog post in which he obliquely confirmed his previous loss of faith in Christianity. It has also been confirmed that at the time of Lambesis' arrest that As I Lay Dying as a whole was not a Christian band given that the other performers had abandoned their belief as well. However, since his arrest it has been reported that Lambesis "has spent much of the last year reevaluating what originally convinced him to abandon belief in God. After much brokenness and repentance he sees things differently, considers himself a follower of Jesus, someone submitted to the will of God."[/QUOTE] For trying not to be very preachy and not a Christian band, this dude sure does yammer on about Christianity a lot, maybe he should have actually tried to learn how to be a decent person instead of trying to be some sort of icon or role model for faith/religion/whatever the fuck this asshole keeps talking about. Get your shit together, man, you adopted three kids with your wife you tried to murder, the fuck was your end game in this?
I enjoyed their music. It's not like I was a massive fan, but I liked it enough to learn how to play one or two of their songs. Oh, well. That's what happens when, you know, you try to pay an undercover cop to off your wife.
wait, who was that guy who raped his baby and was in a band?
[QUOTE=SexualShark;44828578]wait, who was that guy who raped his baby and was in a band?[/QUOTE] Might be thinking of lost prophets lead? but that was an attempted rape if i remember right. I really want to know what made him think of doing something like this rather than filing for a divorce.

what a piece of shit, six years is way too short
[QUOTE=mickers;44828636]Might be thinking of lost prophets lead? but that was an attempted rape if i remember right. I really want to know what made him think of doing something like this rather than filing for a divorce.[/QUOTE] To be fair, the only reason it was considered attempted was because there's no difference in the jail time given, and because the video evidence apparently showed he couldn't fit it in. I'm pretty bummed about this, As I Lay Dying wasn't my jam, but Austrian Death Machine always made me laugh.
[QUOTE=SexualShark;44828653] Then again, isnt he rich anyways?[/QUOTE] I doubt he's that rich. Bands make nowhere near as much money as most people believe
I'd like to hire a hitman sometimes but I can't. :saddowns:
I never listened to As I Lay Dying, but I kinda liked Tim for his side project Austrian Death Machine: [video=youtube;MDwOJOTvLzE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDwOJOTvLzE[/video]
