RANDY BLYTHE's Wife: 'I Believe He Is Innocent' - July 12, 2012
The wife of LAMB OF GOD singer Randy Blythe visited him for two hours on Wednesday (July 11) in the Pankrác Prison in Prague, Czech Republic where he is facing manslaughter charges in connection with the death of a fan more than two years ago.

"It was really good to see him," Cindy Blythe told reporters after her visit. "I miss him very much and I really hope I get to see him soon, and that we'll be together again soon. So this was a special day, getting to see him."

She added, "I think it's terrible what happened — that the kid lost his life and his family lost him — but I believe [Randy] is innocent. That's what I believe."

Video footage of Cindy Blythe speaking to Czech reporters in Prague can be seen by following these links:

* Blesk.cz
* TV Nova

Photos of Cindy Blythe in Prague with attorney Tomáš Morysek are available at this location.

Cindy and Randy Blythe were married on September 10, 2005 in North Carolina.

Randy Blythe remains behind bars 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.

It's not clear as to whether there will be another hearing, or if the judgment will be made independently.

"It could be days, it could even be weeks," Jonathan Crane, a reporter with the Prague Post, told WTVR-TV. "Our legal experts said that sometimes these things could take up to months."

"The legal expert said it could take six months," said Crane, referring to the trial.

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.

Crane discussed the video footage that has popped up online which allegedly shows three different incidents involving the fan. Friends of Daniel say that isn't him in the video. Again, confusion surrounds this case as fans wait for answers and Blythe's release.

"Police have not been cooperative and haven't answered these questions and so it just breeds more uncertainty," Crane told WTVR-TV.

"The worry with this is how it will affect other heavy metal groups that want to come to the Czech Republic," said Crane.

He added, "We must not forget at the end of the day, a young boy lost his life, and a mother lost her son."

According to WTVR-TV, a U.S. defense attorney for Blythe will remain overseas until Saturday. No confirmation yet if that means the singer could be released by then.

Did you ever see Riotact in real life? did you interact with him, did you ever see him/her have sex or eat a mac donald's? No, that's because Riotact is a hologram. I've created it with my massive brainpower.

I am shocked that this case has not gotten more attention. Those idiot hikers that were detained received national media coverage until their release. Here we have the front man for arguably the biggest metal band in the US - multiple Grammy nominations, sold out tours, multiple top 3 Billboard album sales - yet not attention.

Attention Virginia Senators: This is a great cause to get behind - this guy is a homestate hero detained overseas!

Someone get Randy the fuck OUT of that criminal, shit hole country and please boycott playing in the CR, metal community!

Also, cool to see what Randy's wife looks like...

Thumbs down come from the 'too metal' tough guys who listen to 'real' metal, yet own every LoG album. Or people from the CR who are irrelevant to the rest of the world except for being the center of weed jokes in American comedies.

OK... I'm not a tough guy, I do listen to real metal (there is a difference, I am sorry about that), I don't have any LOG and I don't really get your weed-joke reference.... but I just wanted to say that the kids that hiked in Iran should've been executed and left to rot. They pissed me off far more than this Randy thing ever could.

I am not a fan, but I think a lot of people are correct in that if he was just some dumb kid and not a raggedy musician this would be getting way more attention.

Also, his wife's ok.

Prague is the capital of the CR. Prague is glorified in many comedies because of the lack of strict rules around smoking week, prostitution, etc. That was the reference...

If it was my wife stuck in this situation it would take every ounce of restraint I could muster not to spit in these official's faces upon arrival. Sickening they're still holding Blythe AND his 200K worth of bail while they sort out their own bullshit legalities. Never in my life did I think I'd feel this much compassion for Randy Blythe, but this is the definition of wrong and it needs to be dealt with. I agree at this point the U.S. government should at least be doing some serious huffing and puffing given the worthless/ lack of evidence presented. Forget the celebrity status, it's one of our citizens being held unjustly for far too long.

evidence I've viewed doesn't show much that Randy did, but the security guard giving him a big shove off the third time. As I posted on another site, this whole situation has been a "let's make up the law as we go along" from the beginning. From the surprise arrest warrant to the bail money donation for more jail time. I hope bands steer clear of this place for their own safety.

I doubt the US consulate will get too involved with this. With albums named "burn the Preacher" and "Sacrament".

I know that I know nothing about the Czech legal system but if the prosecutor wanted to contest bail then shouldn't the muppet have either done that or at least declared intention to object after the judge first set bail at arraignment (or whatever they call the initial appearance before the judge in the CR)? The dude posted the required $200k, a fucking metric fuck-ton of cash for him regardless of whether it's his yearly income or not & only afterwards does this knobjockey of a prosecutor cry foul & try to keep him locked up. I mean, what the fuck is bail for then if it's no longer surety against any unwillingness to appear again at a later date? Either let him the fuck out or give him his fucking money back. If this prosecutor was anything other than useless they would have stated their objection on day 1 if that was their intent, instead they wait until after they have their grubby little mits on his $200k & then still refuse to let him go? What the fucken fuck? Guilty or not, bail is bail. If the judge set it & he posted it then LET HIM THE FUCK OUT.

As someone who is a public safety official I can say with confidence that what we are accustomed to over here, in America is very different once you get overseas, especially when legal matters are involved. Other countries abide by their laws and not ours, so fans and all these bands making comments need to offer support for Randy and his family, as do I, a former death metal singer, but be careful when attacking another countries legal system. No system is perfect, but I do believe, overall, that the united states has the best system, while other counties/states/cities have their own way of running their courts etc..by and large they operate under the u.s. constitution. Let's not forget the Amanda Knox case in Italy. U.S. citizen in Italy and then all of a sudden in prison for yrs due to murder charges. She was just released, after a new trial. The police/legal sytem handling that case in Italy was an effin debacle and so many mistakes were made, in terms of evidence/crime scene/witness tampering that no wonder she was set free. The evidence shows she had nothing to do with killing the dude.

The situation w/Randy is similiar, but I think the legal system in Prague appears to be quite backwards and they are already assuming he is guilty-Randy/family/LOG band members are right in terms of being very concerned. He posted the bail $ and still no decision on what to do so they keep him incarcerated??Now that is an injustice. Release him, but his passport should be taken until a trial. Folks the reality is Randy is going nowehere fast. I love extreme music and think LOG are today's Pantera, for lack of a better comparison and I've seen their awesome live shows several times, but he is staying put for a while. With our election yr ahead of us and law and politics go hand in hand, some companies (law) would no doubt stay away from his case. I do beleive he will get off with these charges, but how long he is there/incarcerated remains to be seen. What a shame..

let him out, take his passport, put him under house arrest? That's what they did to the WikiLeaks guy and what he was accused of was way worse then this. i get that they think he's a flight risk, i mean, honestly, i'd get the hell out of there if they let me out too. so if they don't want him to leave the country, that sucks but is moderately reasonable. but to keep him in jail when he HAS the bail money is madness. clearly they want him to stay in Prague, so fine, again, seize his passport and place him under house arrest somewhere, but let the dude out of jail!!!!

If the prosecutors come out with some real evidence, it will be funny to see what sort of conspiracy theories, wild speculation, and ignorant assumptions based on nothing the idiot parade on BM will come up with next.

Who cares what SHE believes, really? Just because I believe Santa will bring me a Porsche next Xmas doesn't mean I'll get one. Faith is only rewarded by deception poor lady; Haven't you learnt the lesson already in your life? Be realistic about all this, this is the best you can do. Stop believing in what pleases you and face reality.

The US government will not do anything about this because CR has no oil, and CR is basically still a Russian puppet state.

The video shows a pissed off Randy with his hands around the neck area of a fan and he looks to be forcefully shoving the fan off the stage, with assistance from another person. I seriously doubt that Randy meant to harm the fan or kill him but his actions do appear to be aggressive (in the eyes of the law and especially to the eyes of the fan's family and friends, and every America hating citizen of CR). So, Randy is fucked.

I don't get this whole thing. In the video of the event, it shows the security guy shoving the kid past Randy Blythe, who barely gets in a weak, one-handed assist before the security guy launches the kid back into the audience- and it's Randy Blythe who is culpable? Why the fuck isn't the security guy sitting in jail right now?

Oh right, 'cause he doesn't have any money for the kid's family to collect.

Everyone who is complaining about the speed of the the current bail case needs to talk to a U.S. lawyer. The speed of all cases is slow compared to the USA. It also doesn't help that we brazenly fly into a friendly nation and scoop a person off the street and fly to whichever torure house we want to use.
I do hope Randy is found innocent. I'm realistic and know it will take alot longer then we would like. It does no good to complain everyday.
