Lamb Of God -solisti Randy Blythe ei ole edelleenkään päässyt vapaalle jalalle – viimeisimpien tietojen mukaan prahalainen tuomioistuin on määrännyt Blythen takuusummaksi 400 000 dollaria, joka on puolet enemmän kuin aikaisemmin ilmoitettu kaksisataa tuhatta. Tsekkiläisen oikeuskäytännön "mystisyyteen" näyttää kuuluvan se, että kahdensadan tuhannen dollarin suoritetusta takuumaksusta huolimatta Blythe on istunut vankilassa 27. kesäkuuta lähtien.

Oikeusistuimen mukaan "Blythe saattaa joutua viettämään tutkintavankeudessa ainakin kuusi kuukautta, mikäli uutta takuusummaa ei makseta".

Blythe on myös antanut haastattelun tsekkiläiselle lehdelle. Hän toteaa jutussa muun muassa seuraavaa:

What is your recollection of the incident that happened at club Abaton in Prague during Lamb Of God’s concert in May 2010?

– I don’t know anything about any sort of incident. I remember very few details about the show, mainly because I have played a lot of concerts. I just remember that the stage at the club was very small, and we barely managed to fit our equipment on there. Also, apparently there was a security guard there because many people climbed onto the stage — including one small boy, in particular, but I could be mixing up details with what happened at other clubs. Since I don’t wear my glasses while performing, I see little more than blurry outlines. In any case, I did not attack anyone. The only way I could have come into contact with anyone from the audience was if I was protecting myself from people bumping into me when climbing on the stage.

How are you spending time in custody and with your fellow inmates?

I read, I write letters to friends, family, and I also keep a diary. I get along very well with my Mongol cellmate and I am even trying to learn a bit of Mongolian. I’m starting to write a book about my time in the Pankrác prison and come up with lyrical ideas.

You have made bail and it appears that you will soon be released from prison. What are your future plans?

– If I go back to the U.S., I will mow the lawn, spend some time with family and plunge right back into performing, so that I can pay for my legal fees. I have to help my friends earn some money so that we can live decently. If I had to stay in the Czech Republic, I would look at the sights, especially in Prague. I would follow Kafka’s footprints and I would eat dumplings.
