So yeah, the singer for a band I like got arrested...
12 years ago
At a Barnes N Noble REALLY close to my house. I've been in there a lot. It's a local band who is really well known in the metal community. So, you're probably thinking what he got arrested for. He was trying to hire a hitman to kill his wife...
if he gets convicted, he might be in jail for a while
but Tim said this when asked about it:
"I'm not sure what the difference is between five Christians playing in a band and a Christian band, If you truly believe something, then it should affect every area of your life. All five of us are Christians. I believe that change should start with me first, and as a result, our lyrics do not come across very 'preachy.' Many of our songs are about life, struggles, mistakes, relationships and other issues that don't fit entirely in the spiritual category. However, all of these topics are written about through my perspective as a Christian."
but anyway. Tim has like 3 Federal counts against him....20+ years in prison just for the "solicitation of another to commit murder" charge.
oh and also, the sentence for Tim's charges are about what he is facing if he is FULLY convicted in court, but im sure, since he is a celebrity and what not, they prolly give him a plea bargain where he don't have to spend all that time in prison
"
To our fans,
As we post this, the legal process is taking its course and we have no more information than you do. There are many unanswered questions, and the situation will become clearer in the coming days and weeks. We'll keep you informed as best we can.
Our thoughts right now are with Tim, his family, and with everyone else affected by this terrible situation - and with our fans, whom we love and draw strength from.
Thank you for understanding, and as always, for your support of As I Lay Dying.
