Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe took to his Instagram account today, February 05th, offering the following message:
“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. . 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”
Blythe is currently in the midst of defending himself against charges of manslaughter in Prague, CZE. His ongoing trial commenced yesterday, February 04th, and is set to conclude on Friday, February 08th.
Blythe stands accused of manslaughter in relation to the death of a stage diving fan who he is alleged to have pushed off the stage at a 2010 show. That fan, 19 year old Daniel Nosek, suffered a fatal head injury following his alleged ejection from the stage; an injury which ultimately claimed his life some days later.
