Prosecutor Files Complaint Opposing LAMB OF GOD Frontman's Release - July 9, 2012
According to Mediafax.cz, Novinky.cz and PrvniZapravi.cz, LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe remains behind bars in a Czech prison after the Prague State Attorney's Office filed a complaint against the singer's release on bail.

On Monday (July 9), the attorney's office spokeswoman Štepánka Zenklová confirmed that the complaint was delivered to the Prague 8 district court this past Friday (July 6).

Zenklová told the Prague Daily Monitor that she could not specify the justification of the complaint. The Prague City Court will deal with it now.

The complaint was filed with a Prague district court that was in charge of the case. It is to pass the decision-making on the bail to the City Court.

The City Court can either meet the complaint and annul the bail or it can approve the release on bail, and then the Prague attorney would comment on it again, district court judge Petr Fassati said.

Blythe, 41, is accused of causing the fatal injury that occurred at LAMB OF GOD's May 24, 2010 show in Prague. The singer allegedly either pushed or struck a 19-year-old fan named Daniel N. — a guitarist in a local metal group — and that person died almost a month later of bleeding in the brain.

Randy has been charged with causing "bodily harm of the fourth degree, resulting in the death of a fan" and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Blythe remains in detention at Pankrác Prison in Prague even after the band's manager posted 4 million Czech Koruna bail (approximately $200,000) on July 3. But the bail system in the Czech Republic is not as rapid as in the U.S.

Although bail has been posted, the decision to release the singer is still subject to appeal and so it will take some time for the state prosecutor's office to give approval.

LAMB OF GOD manager Larry Mazer spoke with Rolling Stone last week about the alleged incident, telling the magazine, "There are YouTube videos which 100 percent show Randy's innocence. As a matter of fact, all of those videos have now been sent to our lawyer, and he's presenting it to the judge. This case is so full of holes. Nobody reported an injury of any kind at the concert, or after the concert. It was at least an hour to two hours later, supposedly, when this kid went to a hospital."

Mazer continued, "So that's number one — why did nothing occur during the show? Number two, he had supposedly been in a coma for 30 days, but it wasn't [until] a couple of months later that they contacted the promoter to ask his understanding of the events. He said the same thing — that the show went on fine, no nothing, no incidents. They told him that a person had been injured, which led to a death, which he had no knowledge of whatsoever. And then it went away. Two years go by, and Randy gets arrested."

What kind of judicial system is this? Give him his fucking money back or let him go. It's bad enough this joke of a system is even accusing the guy in the first place. Now they not only want to extort him, but wrongfully imprison him as well. Just a complete and total joke.

I can't figure this out. The footage that's available to the public, completely debunks the entire accusation.

It makes me think that the prosecution has more compelling evidence because based purely on what we've seen, they shouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Fuck knows how this is gonna' pan out.

not a hot pop star. Bill Clinton would be all over this.

He's ride in on a 747 and demand she be released. But alas.

But alas, he's a Metal singer. Sorry Randy, you're just not popular or hot enough.

I really feel for Randy right now. Getting railroaded and there's not a lot he can do.

I truly fear for Randy. There is nothing worse than the loss of one's freedom. This process is holding Randy, his band, and those concerned in the metal community hostage.

...LoG announce auditions for a new singer? I've heard that they've wanted to get rid of him before. Now they have their chance. Yeah it might be a shitty thing to do but who knows how long he'll be locked up. And there is also the possibility he will be found guilty. It just wouldnt suprise me if 6 months from now Randy is still locked up, they'll start looking for someone to replace him. And to be honest, imo...that just might be the shot in the arm they need cuz their last 2 albums didnt do much for me like their earlier ones and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Sure I have, but at least he mixes it up and doesn't use them all the time.

Blythe just plain sucks. He makes a very competent group of musicians unlistenable IMHO.

Damn - this is really bad news for Blythe and the entire Lamb Of God organization. Many crew jobs are on the line right now. It looks like this case may be a whole lot more serious than it has seemed up to this point.

The prosecutor probably wants to make a name for himself - political aspirations? Very shitty situation.

As much as I don't like him as an artist, it is bullshit that he's made bail but they won't let him out.

They should at least let him free with an ankle bracelet while his trial is pending.

The US needs to get involved. This charge is complete bullshit and we can't allow other countries to treat US citizens like this. There is a crime being commited by the Czech government called extortion. They are using this story to generate revenue. There is plenty of evidence to prove his innocence. They are just trying to get more money. Send in a SEAL team and get him out of there.hahahaa J/K, but seriously WTF.

Prosecutor didn't get a big enough cut of the ransom money. Double it now? No wonder Lamb of God appealed for help with their legal fees. They should have hired a commando squad instead to bust their guy out of the Czech prison instead.

I follow Randy on Instagram, and he was visiting all the prisons from WWI and WWII and talking about all the horrors that have happened there. It was really insightful actually.

Then they throw this on him. I'm sure he will have a few stories to tell when he gets out. I just hope he does!

Life is shit. In a moment you can get to prison or get killed. Don't like neither ...
Looks like best way was to bring kid through back doors out of venue instead of threw him into the crowd... pretty hard. Not fair either for kid or Randy.
Security should menage these things not musicians.
