FROM ADLER ALL AXESS:

Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe has been summoned to appear in a Czech Republic court to stand trial on manslaughter charges on February 4, 2013.

 
Blythe was officially indicted by the State Attorney’s Office in Prague on manslaughter charges on Friday, Nov. 30. Following the indictment, the District Court was permitted three months to either set a trial date or to delay the hearing in lieu of further investigation. That decision has now been made and Blythe will begin legal proceedings on Feb. 4.
 
Court spokeswoman Martina Lhotáková, said that Blythe must attend court in person: “We have issued Randy Blythe with a court summons, and he is obliged to attend the hearing in person. The trial will determine the culpability of Blythe and his potential punishment.”
 
If he is found guilty, Blythe could face 5-10 years in prison.
 
Blythe was arrested on June 28 this year at the Prague Airport on charges of causing, “bodily harm of the fourth degree, resulting in the death of a fan:” an event that allegedly took place during a Lamb Of God concert on May 24, 2010. Blythe was detained in a Czech Republic prison for thirty seven days before he was released on bail.
 
Blythe has been adamant since he was released on bail that if he was required to return to the Czech Republic to stand trial he would do so.
 
He previously stated: “I want my name cleared. I have to go around the world and tour, you know. That’s what I do. I’m not going to hide here. I’m an innocent man. I’m going to go to court and see what happens.”
 
According to Lhotáková, Blythe’s Czech trial is expected to last four days. Although the date has officially been set, the court still has the option of sending the case back to the prosecutor and police for further investigation.
 
Stay tuned for further details.

FROM WIKEPEDIA: 
Both the defedant and the State Attorney may appeal the decision; the appeal would be heard by a panel of Prague High Courtconsisting of three professional judges^[ A decision of second instance court is final and enforceable. Nevertheless, an extraordinary appeal may be lodged by the defendant or by the Supreme State Attorney which would be heard by the Supreme Court; an extraordinary appeal may, however, rest only on issues of law and does not provide for full review of the case After exhausting all these remedies, the defendant may also lodge a petition to the Constitutional Court. The petition may be based on allegation of violation of rights under the Czech Constituion and Charter of Fundamental Rights and Basic Freedoms.
