This morning (March 5), a Czech court cleared Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe of charges related to the 2010 death of a fan at a concert. Following the acquittal, many of those in the rock community, including former Guns N' Roses members Slash and Duff McKagan, took to Twitter to voice their approval and show their support.

However, he soon slipped into a coma and died a few weeks later.

Prosecutors had alleged that Blythe pushed Nosek off the stage, but due to the combination of forensic evidence, inconclusive video evidence and testimony from unreliable witnesses, they were unable to meet burden of proof.
