Pentagram vocalist Bobby Liebling, 63, has been sentenced after pleading guilty to charges of Abuse/Neglect of a Vulnerable Adult-Custodian, believed to be his eighty-seven-year-old mother, Diane Liebling. The singer was first arrested this past spring.
Court documents appear to establish that Liebling entered into a plea agreement with the prosecutor, which resulted in his pleading guilty to the abuse/neglect charge, but pleading not guilty to a first-degree assault charge.
Earlier this month, Judge David A. Boynton sentenced Liebling to eighteen months (1 year and a half) in the Montgomery County Detention Center, minus time already served; upon release, Liebling will be on probation for three years. You can view the records for this case below.
Liebling’s long-running issues with drug addiction and abuse, as well as his penchant for sabotaging Pentagram‘s ascension time and time again, were the focus of the 2011 documentary, Last Days Here.
This is sad. I had hoped that Bobby had turned it around.
