Randy Blythe has been freed from prison in the Czech Republic, a spokeswomen for the Prague Court has confirmed. He will arrive home in the United States later today (Friday).

The Lamb of God singer was arrested on June 27 in connection with the death of Daniel Nosek, a fan alleged to have sustained a fatal head injury when he invaded the stage while Blythe performed.

Blythe was never charged and posted bail of $200,000 a few days later. However, under legal proceedings in the former Soviet nation prosecutors can object to a suspect’s freedom, which happened in his case. Although objections were not accepted, his bail was raised to $400,000. This again was paid, but another objection was lodged.

The spokeswoman said Blythe’s freedom was confirmed yesterday (Thursday) after a 16-hour closed session, and there were no conditions related to his being released, except for the bail payment. He was freed later in the afternoon and boarded a flight for the US today.

It’s believed the manslaughter case will be heard in November. Experts say Blythe has a strong case in his favour.

One) it's about freeking time ... Two) I wonder if the 400K is refunded if he is aquitted?

and he has now been officially acquitted:

Randy Blythe: Czech court acquits Lamb of God singer

Randy Blythe, frontman of US metal band Lamb of God, has been acquitted by a Czech court of causing the death of a fan at a concert in Prague in 2010.

"I have been found not guilty," the 42-year-old singer revealed on an Instagram, adding "I am a free man".

Mr Blythe was accused of manslaughter after he pushed Daniel Nosek, 19, off the stage. Mr Nosek injured his head when he fell and died weeks later.

The presiding judge ruled his actions had not constituted a crime.

However, prosecutors have lodged an appeal.

They are seeking a prison sentence of five years for the singer, who was arrested at Prague airport in June as the band returned for another gig.

Mr Blythe, who was subsequently bailed, said he had only learned about the fan's death, and the resulting prosecution, when he was arrested.

In his latest posting, Blythe asked fans to "please remember the family of Daniel Nosek in your thoughts and prayers in this difficult time".

His Virginia-based band were formed in 1990 and received Grammy nominations in 2007 and 2011.

Yay for him! The wheels of justice may turn slowly in the Czech Republic but at least they turned the right way.

Slowly? Compared to the US he got an express pass. Haha.

Honestly, I was expecting bad things for him. Lucky for him. Now he can get back to making horrible music.

I did. I remember the guy who played The Beast Rabban in Dune as a prison guard. Most of everything else, I mercifully forgot.
