 Grayson Co. death row inmate gauges out other eye HUNTSVILLE, TX ― A Grayson County man sentenced to die for killing his wife, her daughter and their son, gouged out his other eye in prison last month. According to the warden at the state prison in Huntsville, death row inmate Andre Thomas gouged out his left eye in early December and then ate it. Five days after the murders in March 2004, Thomas gouged out his right eye inside a Grayson County jail cell after reading a Bible verse. The state's top Criminal Appeals Court upheld Thomas' conviction and death sentence back in October of 2008. Thomas is now in a psychiatric prison facility in Richmond, Texas. No execution date has been set.

| Re: Grayson Co. death row inmate gauges out other eye That is pretty gruesome and it seems pretty plain that the man should have been in a psychuiatric hospital, long before now. Sadly, our prisons are so overcrowded, and many of the inmates are mentally ill and the prisons are so understaffed, or they just don't give a rip, so this is the kind of thing that happens. I can only hope that there is an investigation, so that something like this doesn't happen again. I hate to harp on accountablility, but who was responsible for watching over this man? Should he have been restrained, on medication, or what? |
