AS I LAY DYING: Tim Lambesis Is A Free Man For Now - Details Available!

According to authorities, Tim Lambesis from AS I LAY DYING posted bail and left the Vista Detention Facility yesterday (May 31) after being incarcerated for nearly a month. Bail for Lambesis was slashed on May 17, from $3 million to $2 million.
 
According to ABC 10 News, another readiness conference is scheduled for Lambesis's case on June 26. The exact conditions of Lambesis' release are not known and neither are his whereabouts. However, the judge in this case has stated if Lambesis is released at anytime, he must wear a GPS monitoring device, stay in San Diego and must stay away from his estranged wife and children.

Recently, Lambesis' attorney claimed that his client began using steroids, which clouded his judgement. He also said that Lambesis had gotten into body building and eating healthy, and later began taking nutritional supplements as a paid product spokesman. At some point, he also began taking steroids.

According to Warwick, "his thought processes were devastatingly affected by his steroid use".

It was also revealed by the prosecution that the cost of alleged hit on Lambesis' wife was priced at $20,000 and that Lambesis was "very willing to pay that".

As previously reported, Lambesis's band AS I LAY DYING have been forced to pull out from the KILLSWITCH ENGAGE. Here is a statement from the band!

It seemed like they were planning it out for a long time."

Tim Lambesis's Lawyer Says His Client Was Setup - Details Available!

In what is easily one of the most shocking stories to surface since the inception of Horns Up Rocks in 2010, Tim Lambesis from AS I LAY DYING remains incarcerated after an undercover Police officer discovered that Lambesis wanted his wife assassinated. Allegedly, Lambesis's wife Meggan was making his life impossible through their undergoing divorce and would even prevent him from seeing his kids.

On Thursday afternoon, at a court arraignment attended by his friends and fans, AS I LAY DYING singer Tim Lambesis pleaded not guilty to a charge of soliciting the murder of his estranged wife. San Diego County Superior Court Judge Martin Staven set bail at $3 million. Once he is released from jail, Lambesis must wear a GPS monitor and stay away from his wife and their three children.

At the arraignment in Superior Court in Vista, a readiness hearing was set for June 10 and preliminary hearing for July 10. Lambesis was represented by defense attorney Anthony Salerno of Los Angeles. Salerno told reporters that Lambesis did not intend to harm anybody and was apparently set up by the man at the gym.

"Law enforcement was being fed something by someone that I strongly believe was a snitch, was out to save his own skin and was trumping things up, exaggerating things," Salerno said. The lawyer declined to address specific allegations.

"He was arrested for conspiracy to commit murder, which carries a life sentence, as well as being booked for soliciting murder," Salerno said. "I won't necessarily get too deep [in the details of] the law surrounding conspiracy, but I came to believe very strongly that there is absolutely no way that he could be even charged with conspiracy, much less convicted of it. [So] one of the first things I did was to reach out directly to the [district attorney] that was assigned to the case and had some conversations with her. And she, in fact, did decide for Tim not to be charged with conspiracy, which was a big victory, 'cause that took a potential life sentence off the table before he was even charged. That's something that jumped out at me right away — that I needed to do that early intervention — so we did that."

Salerno also said that Lambesis was originally being held without bail before the attorney was able to intervene.

"At the point Tim was first arrested, the Sheriff's Department asked for and received permission to hold him with no bail," he said. "They got that permission from a judge and I knew that that was well in excess of what the bail schedule in San Diego County calls for. So my next order of business was to try to see what we could do to get that bail… well, first of all, to get a bail, and then to get it set as low as possible. That, of course, was what the bail hearing was about [on Thursday]. I was a little bit disappointed; I thought the bail should have been much lower. The scheduled amount for the charge that he ultimately has now is just $250,000. And, in fact, the scheduled amount for even solicitation to commit murder is a million [dollars]; and the judge set it at three million. So I was a little disappointed that it was that high. On the other hand, the D.A. was asking that the bail continued to be set at no bail whatsoever, and then she said — [which] I thought [was] kind of over the top — that as a backup, it ought to be set at $20 million. I think the fact that an earlier judge had said 'no bail' kind of must have influenced our judge, and that's [why] he set the three million. So right now the gameplan is to try to work on getting Tim out at that three million or possibly to have it lowered."

The lawyer added that someone may have given false information about Lambesis to authorities in order to "save his own skin."

"I would anticipate myself asking for quite a bit of additional discovery, particularly on this person I strongly suspect is a snitch and is an informant for the police and was really creating this whole scenario and sort of setting Tim up," he said. "I believe there's a good probability he may be a police informant. And that information is only available internally with the police department, or in this case the San Diego Sheriff's Department, and through the D.A.'s office, and that's something I'm gonna have to explore as well."

He added: "There's one other element to this, too, which is… I don't want to start to make accusations on this one unless I have some more information, but I will point out that Tim's wife's brother, I understand, is a San Diego Sheriff's deputy, and I think I would be remiss if I didn't fully explore that, 'cause that is a litte bit… it's at the bare minimum very coincidental, and it may be more than that."

“Deputy District Attorney Claudia Grasso said that Lambesis originally approached someone in a gym and asked if he knew anyone who would kill his wife.

Later Lambesis met with the undercover agent posing as a hit man — code name “Red” — according to Grasso. “Red” asked Lambesis if he wanted his wife of eight years gone, and the defendant replied, “Yes, that’s what I want,” the prosecutor said.

Grasso said Lambesis gave the undercover agent an envelope containing $1,000, pictures of his wife, her address and the code to get through a gate. Lambesis also gave the agent dates when the “hit” could take place — days when he had his children, saying that would be his alibi, according to the prosecutor.”

If found guilty, Tim could face up to 9 years in prison.

AS I LAY DYING Singer Pleads Not Guilty; Court Sets Bail At $3 Million!

According to the LA Times, earlier today at a court arraignment attended by his friends and fans, AS I LAY DYING singer Tim Lambesis pleaded not guilty to a charge of soliciting the murder of his estranged wife.

San Diego County Superior Court Judge Martin Staven set bail at $3 million. Once he is released from jail, Lambesis must wear a GPS monitor and stay away from his wife and their three children.

At the arraignment in Superior Court in Vista, a readiness hearing was set for June 10 and preliminary hearing for July 10. Lambesis was represented by defense attorney Anthony Salerno of Los Angeles.

As previously reported, Lambesis’ estranged wife, Meggan Lambesis, said in the court papers obtained by The Associated Press that her husband had fallen asleep while caring for the couple’s three children near a pool and had begun spending endless hours at a gym. He had also begun to spend thousands of dollars on tattoos, she said in the papers filed last fall.

Meggan didn’t express any concern in the documents for her own safety, however. Police say her husband tried to hire a hitman to kill her, but the person he approached was actually an undercover detective taking part in a sting operation set up following a tip to law enforcement last week.

The musician’s wife also said in court papers that Lambesis toured six months a year and had taken two last-minute trips in a month to see his then-girlfriend in Florida.

She said he owned two “high-end” Harley Davidson motorcycles, dined out for almost every meal and lived in a spacious suite at his parents’ $2 million home.

She asked the court to order an expert to examine their music-related businesses and other assets. She submitted a tax return showing the couple grossed $233,000 in 2010 but did not specify an amount she was seeking for spousal support.

The couple adopted the children — ages 4, 8 and 10 — from Ethiopia, and Tim Lambesis continued to see them for about 10 hours a week when he was not on tour, even though the couple was no longer living together, according to court documents.

As we all know, the bands latest record 'Awakened' was released last Fall via Metal Blade Records and is a much darker record then the band previous releases. The record was also released around the time in which Lambesis' wife filed for divorce. "On this record, I wasn’t purposefully trying to be negative, but I think sometimes we have to be honest with some of the darker and more difficult times of our lives to get back to that positivity", Lambesis is quoted as saying.

If found guilty, Tim could face up to 9 years in prison.

Tim Lambesis Charged With Solicitation Of Murder; Wife Claims That His Behavior Changed Lately

According to the Daily News, Tim Lambesis from AS I LAY DYING was charged late yesterday (Wednesday, May 8) with one felony count of solicitation of murder. This was confirmed by San Diego County district attorney spokeswoman Tanya Sierra. Lambesis was scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon.

Lambesis’ estranged wife, Meggan Lambesis, said in the court papers obtained by The Associated Press that her husband had fallen asleep while caring for the couple’s three children near a pool and had begun spending endless hours at a gym. He had also begun to spend thousands of dollars on tattoos, she said in the papers filed last fall.

The Future Of AS I LAY DYING In Jeopardy Following The Arrest Of TimLambesis

Tomorrow is a decisive day not only for Tim Lambesis, but for the rest of AS I LAY DYING, METAL BLADE RECORDS (the bands label), and the fans of the band. Lambesis is facing some very serious charges after he got busted by an undercover Police offer for hiring a hitman to kill his wife.

As reported HERE, Lambesis is currently detained at the Vista Detention Center in Vista, CA and is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow (May 9) at 1:30 PM PT at the North Division Court. He is ineligible for bail due to the seriousness of the case.

Jan Caldwell from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has confirmed that authorities have been investigating Lambesis since last Thursday, May 2, after “Information came to us… that Lambesis was soliciting another individual to kill his estranged wife.” Caldwell goes on to say that “The investigation at our end is still ongoing… But I believe that the captain who commented earlier said that we averted a tragedy today."

Last week, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE released their sixth studio album 'Disarm THE Descent' via Roadrunner Records. The record is the first one with Jesse Leach on vocals since 2002's 'Alive Or Just Breathing'. If you have not listened to the bands latest effort, you must! On 'Disarm The Descent', you can tell that all of the band members are very happy not only personally, but creatively. And a happy band writes great music. Here is our review!
