O.M.G. A Texas death row inmate with a history of mental problem pulled his eyeball and then ate it!

Before his trial (of which he was convicted and sentenced to death), he had pulled out an eyeball (but didn’t eat it). The judge had declared him mentally fit for trial:

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 infirmary.

"Thomas said he pulled out his eye and subsequently ingested it," agency spokesman Jason Clark said Friday.

Thomas was treated at East Texas Medical Center in Tyler after the Dec. 9 incident. Then he was transferred and remains at the Jester Unit, a prison psychiatric facility near Richmond southwest of Houston.

"He will finally be able to receive the mental health care that we had wanted and begged for from day 1," Bobbie Peterson-Cate, Thomas’ trial attorney, told the Sherman Herald Democrat. "He is insane and mentally ill. It is exactly the same reason he pulled out the last one."

I'll bet it didn't taste like chicken !!...

He is insane

I think he had an eye on an insanity plea!

thats just

Hungry?

wow i think im disturbed by the fact that he ate his eye...

who's eye is that looks yummy

LOL
Mine......

Oh man, that hit me in the stomach

The man is seriously ill and needs treatment.
To which he is entitled, he is a danger to himself and society.

I wonder if the justice system will make him pull out and eat the other one. You know, an eye for an eye?!

I think he might qualify, genuinely, for the insanity plea!

very clever


but so awful that it went that far before the legal system to get him the proper medical attention he needed.

Now they call him "Popeye"

Ill bet hes got an eye for detail! (Detail of his colon that is)

You people are seriously sick.. No wonder I like it here.. grin
