Czech Prosecutor To Decide This Month Whether To File Criminal Charges Against RANDY BLYTHE - Nov. 16, 2012
According to the Czech news portal iDNES.cz, the police have completed their investigation of LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe related to the death of a fan in Prague two years ago and have sent the case file to the prosecutor with a recommendation that Blythe be indicted and ordered to return to the Czech Republic to stand trial. The prosecutor will spend the next couple of weeks studying the case before making a determination on the singer's potential criminal liability. A spokesperson for the the Municipal Public Prosecutor's Office in Prague, Štepánka Zenklová, has said that a decision as to whether to file criminal charges will likely be made before the end of November.

Blythe is facing the possibility of conviction and a long-term jail sentence after a 2010 incident in which a fan attending a LAMB OF GOD show died almost a month later, allegedly from injuries sustained when he was thrown off the stage. Blythe's predicament has galvanized the heavy rock community, with artists across the hard rock genre pledging their support.

Shortly after being released from the Pankrác prison in Prague in early August, Blythe sat down with Mark Holmberg of WTVR-TV — the CBS television affiliate based in Richmond, Virginia — to discuss his 37-day stay at the notorious Czech Republic penitentiary (see video below).

Asked about his vow to go back to Prague if there is a trial, Randy said, "I feel ethically responsible to go back there and face this charge. [The victim's] family right now is in a lot of pain, and they deserve some answers. To lose a child is the worst possible thing a human can go through, I think .. I want my name cleared. I have to go around the world and tour, you know. That's what I do. I'm not going to hide here. I'm an innocent man. I'm going to go to court and see what happens."

its spells the end of LOG. He'll be found guilty, and will spend the next 15 years in jail.

Don't drop the soap Randy!

The prosecutor will decide in favor of the police recommendation and then they will all do lunch together and laugh about it. Randy is confident that justice will prevail in a system where corruption seemingly knows no boundaries. It will take pressure from the US State Dept. and outrage from the metal community to get him out of this mess.

Hopefully they decide not to press charges. If they do, Randy is fucked.

All of this is so sad... Musicians just want to entertain and provide enjoyment to people. I wish him well. I just hope the system just fuck him over any more than it already has. Chin up, Randy. Good luck, man.

Let the hammer fall.

He killed a fan by acting like a violent asshole. Is there anything worse than that? Someone comes to see you play and are treated like a nutcase who's going to kill everybody and immediately assaulted. It doesn't get any lower than that.

Every twenty years it seems some rock star gets murdered by a nut. The show must go on. You know that when you sign up you are stirring powerful emotions into people and though exceedingly rare, bad things happen. The same goes for fans. The scaffolding could fall down and kill several people. It happens. But people that do not know how to do their jobs need to be held responsible for their actions.

Throwing a fan offstage is not his job. It is security's job. And they know better than to throw people into guardrails or whatever this kid hit his head on.

I'm also ashamed of the people that don't think there's any problem here and are supporting this guy like it's an accident. The guy slipping on a banana peel is an accident. Someone deciding to involve you in an accident is not.

since it wasn't even his fault, accidental death. Involuntary manslaughter. Not the biggest LoG fan, but he should definately get away with this.

If you like his band or not, if Randy gets convicted this will set a bad precedent for bands everywhere. Whatever happened to taking responsibility for your own stupidity....
