As I Lay Dying frontman sentenced

As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis has been sentenced to six years in prison for attempting to hire a hit man to kill his estranged wife.

The verdict was handed down while three of the singer’s former bandmates, Nick Hippa, Phil Sgrosso and Josh Gilbert, were present in the courtroom. 

Lambesis apparently wept before telling his wife, “I do feel deep remorse. I want to thank you. For her prayers, which proves you still have the heart that you do.”

Lambesis will receive 48 days credit for his custody already served. He will eventually return to court, facing a civil suit from his wife, who is looking for $2 million in damages.
