The Randy Blythe manslaughter case was a court case in the Czech Republic, stemming from a 2010 Lamb of God concert in Prague, wherein 19-year-old fan Daniel Nosek sustained head injuries leading to a coma and death.[1] During the investigation, Czech police unsuccessfully asked United States authorities for cooperation.[2] When the band returned to the Czech Republic for another concert two years later, its vocalist Randy Blythe was arrested,[3] charged with causing Nosek's death,[3][4] and remanded in custody for five weeks.[5]
According to a verdict delivered by the Municipal Court in Prague on March 5, 2013, it was proven that Blythe had thrown Nosek offstage and thus had moral responsibility for his death. However, due to the circumstances, Blythe was not held criminally liable, and most of the blame lay with promoters and security members.[6] The acquittal was upheld by the Prague High Court on June 5, 2013.[7]
The trial was documented in the film As the Palaces Burn, directed by Don Argott.[8]
