Yes, I know Lamb of God are not a punk rock band, but Randy Blythe (who got busted last summer) is now officially indicted for manslaughter in the Czech Republic.
Although Blythe was paroled last August and issued a statement in the same month, he State’s Attorney’s Office in Prague made the official indictment last Friday, which indicates that will likely be a full trial in the near future. If convicted, Blythe will have to face up to at least five-to-ten years in prison.
Lamb of God’s manager Larry Mazer on the situation:
“After a three month investigation, the prosecutor in the Czech Republic has decided to move forward with an indictment of Randy Blythe on the charge of manslaughter with intent to cause bodily harm. Obviously, we intend to fight vigorously against these charges as we feel that in no way did Randy intend to cause bodily harm on the young fan who subsequently died from injuries sustained at the show. As he has stated previously, Randy intends to go to Prague to defend himself at trial.”
