Eva Knott of The San Diego Reader reports:
AS I LAY DYING frontman Timothy Lambesis, accused of hiring a hitman to eliminate his wife during a difficult divorce, is due in court this Friday, August 2nd.
The attorney for Lambesis, 32, is expected to request return of certain items seized by law enforcement during their investigation. A judge will rule on what personal belongings, if any, will be returned to the defendant before his preliminary hearing, which is currently set for September. The divorce from his wife Meggan may be finalized by that time.
Timothy Lambesis is currently at liberty on $2 million bond that was posted last May.
Meggan Lambesis filed for divorce in September 2012, the couple married in June 2004 and have three adopted children. In court paperwork, the wife stated that she discovered her husband was having an affair with another woman, and that he told her he had lost his faith in God.
Timothy Lambesis was arrested on May 7th of this year, after he gave an envelope full of incriminating evidence to a man he thought was a hitman, but was actually an undercover law enforcement agent, a prosecutor said. There was cash for “expenses” and the address and gate codes and instructions on how to get into his wife’s residence in the envelope, according to prosecutor Claudia Grasso.
Lambesis has been charged with one felony: solicitation to commit murder, for which the maximum possible sentence is nine years.
