This is what he posted earlier before he went to court to learn his fate.
“It’s a beautiful morning in Prague, & time for me to go to what is (hopefully) my final day in court here- supposedly judgement will be passed today & I will move on with my life in one direction or the other. Which direction that is, I do not know. I could walk free, or conversely go to prison for up to ten years. Such is my life right now, & I must stay in this moment until its resolution. Whatever happens to me, do not feel sorry for me, for I am at peace & refuse to feel sorry for myself. Life happens. Deal with it. Some people cannot understand why I have returned, saying I should not come back here. KNOW THIS, & mark my words well- it would be absolutely intolerable for me to hide from this situation. I am an innocent man, but a family suffers the loss of a son, a fan of my band. That is what this whole thing is truly about, not prison, not money, not politics, not ME- it is about a young man who lost his life at just 19 years of age. He will never come back, & it breaks my heart. I would not be able to sleep at night knowing that I did not behave honorably & try to give his family some answers. That would be disgraceful, and I do not wish to dishonor myself or my family by acting in such a cowardly manner. I was raised to face my problems head on. For me, this is BEING A MAN. I categorically refuse to live in a constant state of guilt & fear. I would rather die. My morality & convictions are not dependent upon unforeseeable circumstance, nor malleable when difficulty arises. So I walk this morning to court with my head held high, no matter what others opinions of me may be. I have to face myself in the mirror, & tomorrow morning, where ever I may wake up, I will be able to do that without regret. This is THE ONLY path to true freedom for me- peace within myself. This is the manner in which I choose to try my best to live my life, & I hope you all do the same- do your best to do what is right, no matter how difficult it may be. I promise you, this will bring you peace. I thank you all for your support, I wish you all a good day, & to quote one of my favorite movies: STRENGTH AND HONOR.”
thats cool and all but i still just feel like if he knew (which he says he does) that he did nothing wrong then he shouldnt feel any guilt of not going back there.. to me his language of remorse almost sounds like he does think he is at fault for the death of this person.. imo not facing a charge in a foreign country that you know you are not guilty of is not a cowardly act at all..
The Czech Republic isn't that bad at all, actually. It's pretty shitty how people are quick to dismiss it and consider it this evil place because of how this thing with Randy transpired.
your right people dont know dick about and are just insinuating, but you kinda are too saying its an ok place... the fact of the matter is none of us are familiar with the czech republic justice system and cant say either way
There is a contingent of Czech immigrants that live in Chicago that are at every show with me that Im friends with. Likewise can be said for my friends who have been lucky enough to have traveled back to the CR with the immigrants who return multiple times a year; be it to see the country, travel europe or see our friends/family who moved back there. We discussed this trial multiple times and Ive been given their thoughts as well as been given their take on how they feel about the negative limelight the CR was given from this case. Is my opinion golden? No, but I sure as hell think its miles ahead of the assclowns who chastize this country solely because their icon was imprisioned. I feel confident with what I've been told. Hell, even Randy has had nice things to say about the country and has shown his respect for allowing their legal system to do its thing.

He probably does feel some what responsible...I mean he did die at Randy's bands show

That aside, good to hear he was found not guilty.
