A three-judge panel found Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe not guilty of manslaughter in the death of a fan in the Czech Republic. Blythe also won't be required to pay any compensation to the victim's family.
Blythe went on Instagram and wrote: "I have been found not guilty and acquitted of all charges against me. I am a free man. Please remember the family of Daniel Nosek in your thoughts and prayers in this difficult time. I only wish for them peace. Thank you for your support."
Blythe was charged with manslaughter after being accused of pushing a 19-year-old Lamb of God fan off stage during a show almost three years ago. Blythe was arrested and jailed in the Czech Republic when he and his band showed up there for a concert last summer.
He faced up to 10 years in prison, but in the end, prosecutors only asked the judge for the minimum sentence of five years before the judge panel reached a verdict.
