The year is young, but I’m pretty sure Andre Thomas wins the Ickiest Story of the Year award.
Andre, of course, would be the Texas Death Row inmate who ripped out his remaining eye (after doing the same to his first) and ate it.
Wow. There are two possibilities here:
1) Andre is insane, as his lawyer claims, and should be spared from execution.
2) Andre is not insane but is reeeaaallly determined to avoid the whole Dead Man Walking thing.
Either way, I think the state’s newest blind man deserves a break here.
Give him a life sentence instead -- and be real careful about letting him have anything sharper than a rubber ball.
And finally, let’s please not have any jokes about prison food.
Yuck. Mega-yuck.

I just can't see it.
-- Mack
Maybe he was keeping an eye out for a friend.
Really, what was his focus?
Put a lid on it.
Feast your eyes...oops...eye on this!
If TDC knew this man was so disturbed they should have had someone eyeshadowing him.
But maybe the prisoner did it quick as a wink.
He's going to miss his friend Iris.
Instead of the deathn penalty the state could give the man forty eyelashes.
We need to move him to an eyeland!
