As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis has pleaded guilty to hiring a hitman to murder his wife. The industry seems to be utterly blown away at the plea, having backed him when he insisted his innocence back in May. He now faces a maximum sentence of nine years behind bars as well as a $10,000 fine. He’s currently free on bail. Austrian Death Machine bandmate Dave Nassie commented “everybody who’s ever worked with him would be conflicted because it’s just a terribly sad situation for so many people involved. “
