On Friday, Tim Lambesis learned of his punishment at a hearing in San Diego Superior Court, as three of his bandmates watched on.

Meggan Lambesis, who has also filed a $2 million civil suit against her former husband, spoke at the sentencing, claiming that the rocker’s behavior had changed drastically in the months leading up to his arrest in May, 2013.

Tim Lambesis was charged with one count of solicitation to commit murder and one count of conspiracy to commit a crime and has been under house arrest since pleading guilty to offering a sheriff’s deputy, posing as a hitman, $1,000 to kill Meggan. He also gave the agent his wife’s address and the security code to her front door.

The singer’s bandmates have announced a hiatus to allow him time to deal with his legal woes.

As he awaited sentencing, Tim Lambesis and bandmate Jordan Mancino released a statement which read: “As I Lay Dying is sleeping rather than dead… Tim has acknowledged his guilt and clearly made some bad decisions in a period of time where he acted contrary to the person he’s been most of his life.

“He believes As I Lay Dying should only pick back up if it’s in a form restored to its roots. For Tim, the potential of pursuing As I Lay Dying again means working on a lot of other more important things in his personal life first.”

Tim Lambesis had asked a personal trainer at his gym to help him get rid of his wife Meggan, claiming she had restricted his visits with their three adopted children after they separated in September 2012.

The singer was arrested in May 2013 after prosecutors said he met a sheriff’s deputy posing as a hitman, called Red, and handed over $1,000 along with his wife’s address and front door security code.

The undercover agent, San Diego County Sheriff’s Officer Howard Bradley, testified last year that Tim Lambesis met him at an Oceanside bookshop in May and said he wanted his wife “gone”.

Howard Bradley said he asked Tim Lambesis directly if he wanted his wife killed, and the singer replied: “Yes, I do.”
