LAMB OF GOD: Randy's Trial Postponed, Find Out Why!

Wow! This just in via Metal Insider:

"Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe is on his way back to America, as his manslaughter trial has been delayed. According to WTVR, Blythe’s defense team asked for a delay because a key witness was sick, and they want the witness to testify in person. One more witness is slated to testify tomorrow, then the trial will be resume on March 4. Blythe indicated to the court that he’ll be back in Prague when the trial resumes."

This might be an indicator that Randy is innocent and that no strong evidence has been found during the trial that has the Heavy Music world on the edge of their sits. Usually during any criminal trial, if there is strong evidence against the accused person, in this case Randy, the court won't postpone the trial for such a long period of time and if they do, they will keep the person in custody until the trial resumes. Specially if the person is being accused of manslaughter.

Additionally, according to a report by WVTR (read it HERE) there were a lot of different versions of the events that took place three years ago, presented by the witnesses yesterday (February 5) at the trial. This definitely helps Randy's case, since without solid statements or evidence it will be hard for the jury to make a final decision.

So this is good news for Randy, but it doesn't mean that his nightmare is over. Here is what Randy posted yesterday regarding the trial.

We will keep you posted once more detailed information is available.

David Randall Blythe Discusses The Incorrectness Of Information Reported During His Current Trial!

Yesterday (February 4), the State Attorney’s Office in Prague, Czech Republic, began the trial of Lamb Of God's David Randall Blythe. Blythe is being accused of manslaughter following the death of Daniel Nosek, a 19 years old fan of the band. Full details HERE!


Following the respond from the public regarding his trial, Randy decided to take matters into his own hands via his Instagram and post the following images and words in order to discuss the incorrectness of the information shared this far regarding his trial.

"I have read a few news reports of the progress of my case, and trust me- many things are incorrect. But this is the Internet, and of course things are half-baked anyway. Keep in mind that translation is difficult, and many things can be lost, for Czech is a VERY DIFFICULT language. So wait and see, as I am. It is all I can do, except be honest & fight for my freedom in my own way. I also have heard of some people (not on here) talking smack about the Czech Republic, saying "Fuck the Czech Republic", etc. This not how it should be. This is a very sad case, not something to rage at people you do not know over. I am not angry with the Czechs at all. A fan of my band is dead- what do I have to be angry about? I am an INNOCENT man, but I am also a very sad man right now. To not be sad in this instance would be inhuman. But mad at the Czech people? Why would I be mad at them? Here, look at this picture- a mother watches her baby. The child reaches out for something new, laughing and chasing a pretty picture in the air. It is the same here as everywhere else. Do you see?!?!? Life is beautiful. I hope to see y'all soon."


"Have you ever looked down on the ancient rooftops of Prague from the clock tower in Old Town Square? Have you ever seen the snow falling on the people below? It is a magical sight, for Prague is a magic place. While I am not happy to be here for the reason I am, I am not a blind man, nor am I a fool. Only a blind fool would not bother to see these things. It is quiet high above the city, and it is beautiful in a different way than the many other places I have been around the world. Prague has a long, complicated history. In many ways, I feel what is happening in my life right now could not happen anywhere else. I roam through the streets, asking myself questions, and there are quiet echoes of the city answering back. I have been here over two weeks now, preparing for this trial. I have walked many miles at night here. I am looking for life lessons in the snow."
