(January 9, 2009)—A Texas death row inmate with a history of mental problems who killed and then ripped out the hearts of his estranged wife and two young children has pulled out and eaten his only good eye, prison officials said Friday.
Andre Thomas, 25, plucked out his right eye while in jail awaiting trial in Sherman for the March 2004 stabbing deaths of his estranged wife Laura Christine Boren, 20, his 13-month-old daughter Leyha Marie Hughes and his 4-year-old son Andre Lee.
A judge later ruled he was competent to stand trial.
He was sentenced to die for the murder of the 13-month-old girl.
A death-row officer at the Polunsky Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice found Thomas in his cell with blood on his face and took him to the prison infirmary.
According to agency spokesman Jason Clark, "Thomas said he pulled out his eye and subsequently ingested it."
Thomas was treated at East Texas Medical Center in Tyler after the incident on Dec. 9 and then was transferred to a prison psychiatric facility near Houston where he remained Friday.

-
...now, is this guy insane? Or has he simply preferred blindness to death and decided to feign insanity by this incredibly badass method?

"I had an eye. But then I eated it." =D :laugh:

An upper endoscopy would have been more effective with fewer side effects.

So, would that be eye candy?

Scanr FTW
I imagine that once that eye passes through his rectum, he'll have a rather sh*tty outlook on life.
-
I wonder if, after everything has passed, if this event will give him a better outlook on life...
After all...
<wait for it>
Hindsight is always 20-20!

I didn't see that coming!

And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest thine firstest eye. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then yankest thou, thine other eye in the direction of thine stomach, who, being hungry in my sight, shall eat it."
-
Can we convince him to pull and eat his own heart?
-
When asked why he did it, he replied, "I have no eye, dear."
-
That is so freaking metal. :O
-
And we really needed to be informed of this? Seriously!
-
Dedicated to that insanity defense, ain't he?

Well, very severe self-mutilation to the point of amputation is a sign of severe psychosis. This kind of thing is far from unknown, and yeah, it generally means very crazy.
-
The guy who committed suicide by self-decapitation with a chainsaw has a new contender for "insane, but hardcore", I believe.

I hear the lens is kind of crunchy, is that true?

The internet being the wonderful thing it is...why don't you contact him and tell us what the answer is later.
We can't call the Elected Pres what we'd like to (because it is supposed to be childish and uncivilized), but we can talk about a real nutcase murderer with mirth? (Because the family of the survivors and the dead think this is really HILARIOUS)
UHHMM...Double standards anyone?

Yeah, he's nuts. Still needs to get the Big Shot.

The EYEs have it! Yum Yum.

Sooner, rather than later. Sounds that he is so screwed up that there would never be a chance for rehabilitation for him.

Brings a whole new meaning to the term "eye candy".

For the foul. Scanr to the free throw line, 2 shots.
=D

Sorry I guess I didn't see that. I never read scanr's posts anyway, we don't see eye to eye.
-
we don't see eye to eye.
Okay, that's better. =D
-
That takes true grit :O
-
I gather his remaining eye continued to offend him so it was ripe for the plucking
