After what Tim Lambesis did? (Hiring a hitman to murder his wife)

As I Lay Dying had a profound influence on rock. Although they did not invent their sound, they took the current state of rock and metal and pushed it forward blending multiple sub-genre elements into a nuclear bomb of sound and melody. Their first releases were unique contributions, creative, and made the band stand out among their peers and influenced many musicians. When As I Lay Dying meets the final album release date criteria, I believe they should be inducted.

In addition, the Rock Hall was not established as moral institute. Artists and musicians are not judged by their behaviors or the severity of their criminal records weighed against their contributions to music. Tim Lambesis' made a highly publicised mistake and paid his debt to society. If we were to toss the band out for that, how many dozens of people would have to be removed for their alleged or convicted or crimes? In my opinion, this isn't severe enough to void a nomination and if it is, all the artist should be held to the same standard. Ike Turner for example.
