Czech web site Blesk.cz conducted an exclusive interview with LAMB OF GOD manager Larry Mazer about the ordeal of the band's lead vocalist, Randy Blythe, who has been jailed in Prague, the Czech Republic, where he is accused of causing the death of a fan at one of the group's shows in 2010. Blythe was arrested at the Prague airport on June 27 and is facing possible manslaughter charges in connection with a 2010 Prague concert at which he allegedly shoved a local fan off the stage. The man, who had stormed the stage three times during the show, reportedly suffered a brain hemorrhage that resulted in his death 14 days later.
Blesk.cz: What is the latest on Randy Blythe's release?
Larry Mazer: "I have no idea. The bail [in the amount of $200,000] was posted Tuesday morning [July 3]. We tried to make bail on Monday, but everything took a bit longer to be processed. Randy should be released immediately. His lawyer told us so on Saturday [during a court hearing]. In the U.S., he would have been. You post the bail and you're free."
Blesk.cz: How long will Randy stay in jail?
Larry Mazer: "I was told that it may take up to 20 days — that the investigator may require more time to investigate the case."
Blesk.cz: How have the other bandmembers reacted to this whole ordeal?
Larry Mazer: "Everybody is shocked. It's absurd. It seems like a bad joke that Randy is sitting in your jail. He did nothing wrong. He is innocent."
