As I Lay Dying Singer Arrested

2013-05-08 by andcas | 352 Comments
Tim Lambesis, lead singer for metalcore band As I Lay Dying, has been taken into custody in Oceanside, California after a murder-for-hire plot was foiled. The undercover detective responsible for the arrest is accusing the Christian musician of trying to solicit him for the purpose of killing the mans estranged wife.

Apparently the San Diego County Sheriff's Department had been somehow tipped off that Lambesis was attempting to find someone to do the deed. The police decided to organize a sting operation to see if they could catch him in the act and when the deal was set in stone bring him in for booking and interrogation.

As of right now the rest of As I Lay Dying and representatives at Metal Blade Records have not released an official statement addressing these serious allegations.

Just because it isn't as terrible as something else doesn't make it not terrible. The shock factor is probably a big part of it though, this guy has a lot of fans and I think it's safe to say that none of them saw anything like this coming.

He could be innocent, though. I remember the Birdman got arrested last year for child pornography or some trumped up shit and it turned out he was just being blackmailed by some chick because he didn't want to buy her shit. Not sure how something like that would apply in this case, but hey, that's what trials are for.

not if you met them and they were one of your favorite bands growing up. while i absolutely loved slayer i did not grow up with them - i grew into them. i felt jeff dying, but it didnt hit as hard as it would have those who saw them when they were on haunting the chapel. THIS will hit me hard if it is true.

Isn't it possible that he had a relatively recent onset of schizophrenia or some other sort of severe psychosis? That could be a serious factor on its own, and mixed with drugs it would be an even worse combination. I mean, for all we know, talks of religion and his personal merits could be irrelevant.

Being a great musician and claiming to be a Christian doesn't necessarily make you a good human being, but if the stuff about Barnes & Noble is credible, there's definitely some question as to his sanity level at the time.

He is innocent then the future of metalcore and metal itself is still salvageable!!

1,000 to 2,000 seems the norm for assassins to charge. Weird

No, that's just to cover expenses. You pay the majority when the job is done.

Some of you made judgements like you really knew what happened in that gym. Wait and see people, some
questions still remain unanswered
Seriously who the fuxx would believe it would charge only 1000 to have somebody killed? this is so
weird.
And why did Tim plead not guilty if the DA evidence was that solid

this has been said 100x times before, the $1000 was just for expenses not the actual amount.

people need to stop fooling themselves about this. seriously, this wouldn't be where it is if there weren't tons of evidence against him. they even said they had audio recordings. he did it, he's most likely going to prison for quite some time. accept this.

Exactly. They wouldnt have made a case against him like this if they didnt have massive evidence.

NO YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT.
"they even said they had audio recordings" but we haven't heared that yet so what's the point?
and what was said in that recording (and in the Gym) would be interesting. I didnt say Tim is
innocent beyond dispute (which I do not truely believe) but there might be different versions of the
story other than the one we belive
So stop being the judge

i wonder what the band is going to do now. i feel kind of bad for the rest of the members because even though they probably had nothing to do with any of this, people will still think of their band differently now.

^ I've been wondering the same thing. This whole thing has been a heck of a poop storm.
