Did Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying Go Crazy on Steroids?
Last May, Tim Lambesis, frontman for Christian metalcore outfit As I Lay Dying, was arrested on charges that he’d tried to hire a hitman to murder his wife. The hitman, a guy named “Red,” was actually an undercover cop working for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, acting on a tip from Lambesis’ personal trainer. After his arrest, prosecutors said that Lambesis was angry over issues related to the couple’s divorce. But Lambesis’ defense attorney, Thomas J. Warwick, Jr., offered another explanation: Steroids pushed him over the edge.
