Paroled in 2016 after serving two years of a six-year prison sentence imposed when he pleaded guilty to trying to hire a hitman in 2013 to murder his ex-wife, As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis now admits that, on reflection, he could have handled his marital strife in “a thousand different ways.”
A year on from his 2012 divorce from his ex-wife Meggan, the Greek-American singer attempted to hire a hitman to murder his ex: the ‘hitman’ turned out to be an undercover police officer.
