‘As I Lay Dying’ is a popular group especially among American teens. The bands front man Tim Lambesis has posted a $2 million bail in a murder-for-hire case. The 32-year-old singer was arrested earlier this month after police alleged he tried to hire a hit man to kill his estranged wife.
The hit man turned out to be an undercover police officer, and Lambesis was arrested after prosecutors claim he gave the officer an envelope that contained $1000, personal information and a photo of his wife.
Lambesis lawyer Thomas Warwick is committing to an unusual defense. He is claiming Lambesis’s judgment was impaired by steroid use. The singer is rumored to be a serious body builder and a spokesman for nutritional supplements. He is due back in court on June 10th, if convicted he could face up to nine years in prison.
