Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe found not guilty of manslaughter
05 March 2013Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe was acquitted of manslaughter charges in a Czech Republic court today. Blythe was facing up to 10 years in prison over the death of Daniel Nosek, a fan who died following injuries sustained at the band’s May 2010 concert in Prague.
According to reports, Nosek made multiple attempts to climb on stage during the the band’s concert, before Blythe allegedly pushed him, causing him to fall and suffer head injuries. Nosek died two weeks later. In June 2012, Blythe was arrested when his band returned to the Czech Republic to play a show. He maintained his innocence and claimed to be unaware of the fan’s death prior to the arrest. However, Czech authorities chose to keep him in prison for over a month and set bond for $400,000.
“I have been found not guilty & acquitted of all charges against me. I am a free man,” Blythe said in a statement following the verdict. “Please remember the family of Daniel Nosek in your thoughts and prayers in this difficult time. I only wish for them peace. Thank you for your support.”
Prosecutors have reportedly said they’ll appeal the verdict.
