Blythe was arrested at the Prague airport on June 27 and was accused of shoving a local fan off the stage during
LAMB OF GOD's May 2010 concert in the city. The man, who is said to have stormed the stage three times during the show, reportedly suffered a brain hemorrhage that resulted in his death nearly a month later.
After the court doubled
Blythe's bail last month from about $200,000 to about $400,000, the prosecutor once again filed a complaint against the singer's release.
"I can confirm that [
Blythe] was released yesterday afternoon,"
Gabriela PohlovГЎ, spokeswoman for the prison, said on Friday (August 3).
The Prague Municipal Court's ruling against the prosecutor of the Prague 8 District Court was made Thursday afternoon at approximately 4:00 p.m. behind closed doors.
"The decision was reached yesterday at the end of a closed session," said
Martina LhotГЎkovГЎ, spokeswoman for Prague's Municipal Court.
"The only condition of release was the approximately 8 million Czech Koruna bail [which has already been paid]," she added.
Blythe's Czech attorney
Martin Radvan told
Radio Prague that
Blythe will have to return to the Czech Republic to face trial. "That's what he wants to do,"
Radvan said. "As a world-renowned artist, in a specific genre of music, of course, he cannot afford to simply disappear."
Radvan added that
Randy's stature as a public figure makes it highly unlikely that he would vanish before the trial, saying, "There would be posters with his picture all around the world, and if he wants to continue performing, he will have to return. And he wants to return because he believes he is not guilty of anything he has been charged with."
The lawyer said earlier today that the police investigation is unlikely to be completed until winter. "We don't know yet if [the fan's death] was caused by our client or in a different way," he said.
Jonathan Crane, a reporter from the
Prague Post, told
WTVR-TV that a legal expert believes the
Blythe's defense team should have quite a strong case. "Even if
Randy was responsible for the alleged attack, the expert said that who is to say that he wasn't accidentally kicked or trodden on or left without help by fans below the stage,"
Crane said.
During an appearance on the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania radio station
105.9 The X,
Crane discussed the way that both the Czech media and police have been handling the incident. He explained, "At the start, the Czech tabloids were quite vociferous about
Blythe and the reputation of
LAMB OF GOD, and portraying
Blythe especially to be quite a violent person, an aggressive person."
He added, "Obviously, there have been these videos put up on
YouTube of the alleged incident.
LAMB OF GOD's management say this is the key to proving
Blythe's innocence, that you can clearly see it's a security guard that throws a boy or a man off the stage. Now, other people I've spoken to here, who were at the gig … they say actually the man in the videos is not
Daniel, the young man who unfortunately died two years ago."
He continued, "The Czech police were very uncooperative when responding to my questions. All they would say is that they investigated the case in 2010. A friend of
Daniel's, who I spoke to, said that the police were investigating even before he [
Daniel] had died. He was in a coma, don't forget, for [at least] two weeks before he passed away."
The U.S. Embassy in Prague on July 11 released a very brief statement regarding
Blythe: "The U.S. Embassy provides standard consular services to American citizens in need of assistance. We cannot discuss specific cases due to privacy concerns."
