Metal Singer Tim Lambesis Gets Parole 4 Years After Plotting to Murder Wife
In May 2014, a San Diego judge sentenced Tim Lambesis to a six-year prison sentence, reduced from a potential nine years, for offering a man $20,000 to murder his estranged wife, with whom he shares three adopted children. The murder was not attempted; Lambesis pled guilty.
Today, Alternative Press reports that the 36-year-old vocalist of metalcore act As I Lay Dying has been "discharged to the Division of Adult Parole Operations." Alt Press got official confirmation after hearing ex–Dokken guitarist George Lynch speak on Eddie Trunk's Show:
"He went completely off the rails. Abandoned his family, his wife threatened to divorce him. He recently got out of jail. Destroyed his band. They don't have a pot to piss in now—they're all struggling. Anyways, he's out. He's got a mega-record deal. He's got a book deal. Everything's lined up for him. I mean he's going to skate through life. Everybody else is suffering. His wife is living in fear. His children are living in fear."
In Lambesis' sentence, his wife and children were given 10 years of protection. The musician was denied a reduced sentence two months later.
