As I Lay Dying singer arrested in murder-for-hire plot

[GeertSamuel]

I wonder, how could someone be THAT stupid.
Anyway, instantly made me thought of this sketch, might be why he wanted to act as an idiot.

This is definitely for real, the Sheriff's Department issued a PDF statement of the details, which I've posted on my site here: http://metalarcade.net/2013/05/tim-lambesis-of-as-i-lay-dying-arrested-in-murder-for-hire-plot/

 

[JayB]

One of these articles I read said they already had reason to believe he wanted her dead, so more than likely the undercover cop was positioned to be accessible for Tim to reach out to, rather than the cop approaching him

Yeah, that's what they're saying happened, the cops heard last week that he was conspiring to do this, so they made this undercover cop accessible to him.

Dude I'm here all the time and the I don't know any other sites that have the PDF yet.

But yes I own a site and I see no problem with pointing people towards it when appropriate

Can't tell if he's serious yet or not

Shit, if there were any undercover cops around the last few times I spoke about what I'd like to do to my ex, I'd probably be in jail too.

i haven't bothered reading up on the details, but in cases like this they don't go on heresy - every instance i've heard of where an arrest was made included cash being exchanged before the arrest was made. this is the sort of instance where they're gonna want to have that "smoking gun" to take to trial, or else their efforts can be wasted pretty quickly by a competent attorney.

on the other hand, cops DO pull some pretty stupid shit at times...

You know.

Has murder for hire ever fucking worked out for anyone in middle class America? I mean shit if I wanted to hire someone to murder someone, chances are I'm getting hooked up with an undercover.

 

[FIXXXER]

this happened to someone I know. the EXACT same thing. there was no trap involved in that situation .. just good 'ole fashioned stupidity

WTF man!?

This. It reminds me of the episode of Always Sunny where Dee and Dennis try to buy crack for the first time.

Seems like he may be guilty judging from those details.

 

[JeffTD]

That's fishy as fuck. $1k is nothing when you're talking about having someone murdered and it's not like it's a very large investment if you're trying to protect half of your assets (dude is worth 14mil).

 

[Terminus]

In the video the prosecutor says the $1K was "for expenses" so I can only assume it's not the amount that was to be paid for actually doing the killing.

 

[JeffTD]

Yeah, just watched that video, had only read the Lambgoat article before. You don't bring up the existence of a voice recording with damning evidence in court unless you have it and you're sure it's legitimate. So fucking weird.

 

[Perishh]

I still can't process this. Following this band for the last 8 or so years... it just seems so out of character.

I would think they should have a voice recording, but they may not even need it. If the prosecution is good, as long as they had the envelope with all the instructions (which they should), then the voice recording will just be the icing on the cake.

I read the defense lawyer's response to the allegations, stating "he didn't mean to hurt anybody and he was set up by the guy at the gym." If that's all the defense lawyer has.......Tim is a done for. Even if he did, you don't state you want your wife dead and hand somebody instructions with money.

 

[JeffTD]

The only legitimate defense I can think of would be to say something like "He was paying him to have her house burglarized or vandalized in an effort to scare her into moving out of the area and cutting ties with Tim." But if they have audio evidence proving otherwise? No way they can go that route.

 

[Nuno Filipe]

"Lambesis twice approached other members of his gym and asked if they knew anyone who could have Meggan killed."

This is very very dumb. It´s no suprise that he got caught.
