Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe was back in a Prague, CZE court today, March 04th, as his manslaughter trial resumed. Today’s proceedings saw a number of witnesses (including a female concert attendee and a security guard) give testimony, along with two expert witnesses.
Of the two witnesses, one was a female attendee who claims to have seen Blythe push the deceased (Daniel Nosek) from the stage, allegedly causing his fatal injury. She gave testimony that the crowd had parted upon his fall from the stage, thus causing the fatal head injury that eventually led to his death.
Meanwhile, a psychologist appointed by the court gave testimony that cast Blythe as an aggressive personality and cited his past legal offenses, including speeding and urinating in public, to her cause. Another psychiatrist reportedly argued against the prosecutions repeated claims that Blythe suffers from an aggressive personality disorder.
A report from an expert in the field of biomechanics, detailing the nature of how Nosek‘s injury came to be, is expected to introduced tomorrow. The verdict on the trial could be in as early as tomorrow, March 04th, when the final day of the trial concludes. A video report from today’s proceedings can be found over at Blesk.cz. Further details can also be found in an English language report made available over at WTVR.com.
Blythe stands accused of manslaughter in relation to the death of Daniel Nosek—a concert attendee whom he is alleged to have pushed off the stage during a 2010 show the band played in Prague, Czech Republic. The fan was said to have sustained fatal head injuries during his fall—injuries which ultimately claimed his life.
The family of the deceased are seeking compensation of 10 million Czech Koruna—roughly $530,000 U.S. dollars in connection with the charges, with Blythe also facing possible jail time if found guilty.
Meanwhile, Blythe updated his Instagram with the following related posts:
“Earlier today I walked across the Legion Bridge to see the Memorial to the Victims of Communism. It is a series of male statues going up a forested hill, each statue appearing to dissolve a bit more until only a single foot is left. It’s an amazing memorial. I climbed up the stairs and looked back towards the Vltava river and Staré Mesto (“Old Town” in Czech). This shot pretty much shows how I’ve been feeling for a whole now- torn in half, stuck in between two worlds, neither here nor there, waiting and watching for an answer to come, so that I can move forward again as a whole man.
What direction I will move in, I do not know yet. Regardless, I am ready for the waiting to be over. I will move forward no matter what, and I will not be split in two anymore, no matter where I wind up. This is frustrating for me, but I am slowly learning to be a patient man. Life just happens. Deal with it.”
“And so I need to sleep so that I may face the day tomorrow with a rested body & mind. All the walking & talking & planning & pictures of monuments to tragedy has been wearing on me. Then a few moments ago, as I was on my balcony smoking and thinking about my life I heard some beautiful music coming from below. I looked down and saw these hands, playing the piano.
I tried to figure out the melody but I could not. Then I noticed the hands stop, grab a pen, and write on some sheets of paper above the keyboard. I had never heard this music because this person was composing it before my very eyes. What a gift! This person never saw me shooting pictures through their window, and they played beautifully and with out any self-consciousness, totally engaged in the act of creation. Such a beautiful thing to end my day with- you can’t ask or pay for such things. I hope you all have a good day tomorrow, & I hope to see you soon.”
