'If your right eye offend thee, pluck it out.'
 [Blaze] The scheduled execution of a Texas man on death row was delayed by a judge after the inmate's attorneys say he gouged out both of his eyes due to mental illness, each eye on a separate occasion, according to ABC 6 Columbus. The prisoner's attorneys say his reason for eating the second eye was to ensure that the government could not hear his thoughts.A man named Andre Thomas was scheduled to be executed after fatally stabbing his estranged wife in 2004 and cutting out the hearts of their 4-year-old and 13-month-old children. Thomas told police that God told him to commit the murders and that his family members were all demons.
However, J. Kerye Ashmore, with the Grayson County District Attorney’s Office, disagrees. Ashmore says that faith leaders and others asking for clemency are simply missing key facts on the case and have not read any of the prisoner's mental evaluations. Posted by: Besoeker 2023-03-10 |
