Lamb Of God - Randy Blythe Found Not Guilty Of Manslaughter
After being arrested, freed and then facing trial, Lamb Of God's frontman Randy Blythe has been found not guilty of manslaughter charges today in Prague, Czech Republic, as Novinky.cz reports.
Randy just posted this message on his Instagram account: "I have been found not guilty & acquitted of all charges against me. I am a free man. This photo was taken by my friend @aceyslade- it says it all. Please remember the family of Daniel Nosek in your thoughts & prayers in this difficult time. I only wish for them peace. Thank you for your support. Randy."
The prosecution had accused Blythe of causing the death of the 19-year old fan, Daniel Nosek, by pushing him off the stage at a 2010 concert. Blythe faced up to ten years in prison and now the court, a three-judge panel, delivered the verdict which acquitted him.
Blythe is not required to pay any compensation to the victim's family. The State Attorney immediately announced his intention to appeal the verdict and he has 8 days to put this in writing.

That went well for hipster Randy. Now I wonder if the family of the deceased guy was actually hoping he would be arrested or if they could get their heads around the situation.

And not one person noticed him in the picture. This means it's time for a new kickass album followed by a NORTH AMericaN tour, preferably in Canada. Well just not in Czech Republic.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 05.03.2013 at 15:47 I wouldn't call that a typical hipster look at all. The rim of the glasses is too small, the hat isn't hipster enough. DOn't see skinny jeans or bodyclinging T-shirt. Plus the music he makes is totally un-hipster

"Please remember the family of Daniel Nosek in your thoughts & prayers in this difficult time." PRAYERS??? WTF? I thought this guy was against religion, to put it mildly.

I think this is great news and serves everybody involved a lesson, that you have to be careful during concerts and more importantly, that you have to face your actions and take responsibility for them, even if they were foolish and you could be severely punished for them. Randy could have easily just stayed in the USA and simply evade the prosecution in the Czech Republic by simply not going there, the US government said they have no intention of extraditing, but he came of his own accord.

Even though I'm not the biggest fan of Lamb of God's work, that's actually good to hear!

Good for Randy! Now he and LOG can go back to making mediocre records again.

I'm very glad for him. Now "just go home" and enjoy it. RIP Daniel Nosek.
