Texas death row inmate pulls out eye, eats it

I think anyone who has the idea of plucking out their own eye and especially eating it is no doubt crazy. This guy has to be crazy, even if he is I think he is beyond help and should not be allowed to avoid the chair.

There is no hope for him, he is worthless and will never be normal, and did kill innocent children.

I agree with you. There really isn't any excuse for wasting money feeding this sicko. Good grief!

You should see monsters they are building in like Marion, some of these guys have been in lock down for over twenty years, when they get out all they will want to do is kill something and get back at society. And they will get out, some with no parole just done, time done.

That's probably one of the most mis-guided and delusional statements I've read since I've been browsing these threads. Most of us "typical" Americans don't fit that description, not even close. There are hateful, violent people in every city on this planet.

As for the OP, did anyone ask him if it tasted like chicken?


Ok, that was bad, I couldn't resist.

Typical American? That's an asinine assumption. We're not all hell bent on violence. Some of us would just simply love it if everyone could learn to get along. Some of us are fed up with the dog eat dog mentality of humanity. And I'm not just speaking for Americans as an American, I'm speaking for human beings as a human being.

Sounds like he would have fit in just fine a 500 hundred years ago in the lovely civilized world of the Aztecs!

It looks to me as though he plucked the first eye ball out in hopes that a jury would find him mentally incompetant to stand trial for his crimes, but was suprised when they decided to indict and prosecute him anyway.


I guess you could say he didn't see it coming



*rimshot*

I would dare say this is beyond insane, but demonic like the Wendigo inspired slaughter that took place on a bus in Canada last year.

According to the native tribes in Canada those afflicted by evil like the Wendigo cannot be exercised. The only thing that can be done is to remove them from among the living.

Yea I've got a joke in the year 2095, there wiil be no more crime in world because, the Robots will have put all the humans in prison. You know like the last true Christian died on the cross. Anyhow just about everyone has done something wrong to lesser and greater degrees, the good one don't get caught like to politicians and cops, then there able to further there career with few problems.

Mentally ill, of course...insane, well, depends on how the law is written. He was able to appreciate his crimes & even expressed remorse for them (showing he can distinguish between right & wrong), hence the death penalty.

I wonder if he salted it before he ate it.

Sorry, just had to.

This guy is just looking for another day in court.

Problem is that he is in the wrong state. This is Texas, not California.

I think that anyone who murders another in cold blood is insane. Doesn't mean we shouldn't put them out of their misery. When a dog viciously attacks someone, he is usually put down. Murderers are in the same league, actually lower.

The guy could have been low on B compex vitamins, lack of will cause brain not to work right. He was most likely on drugs to begin with. Drugs will make crazy and lowers B complex vitamins in body, brain, half of these crazy people could be fixed with mega dose B complex.

I agree the guy is definitely insane. Rather or not insane by legal standards is another question. I believe in order to get the innocent by means of insanity thing it just comes down to if the guy knew what he was doing was wrong and had consequences which I'm sure he did. Death Penalty is too much mercy for this guy.

I beat a case on insanity it is very hard to do almost impossible, but what happened to me was a person put LSD in what I drinking with out my knowledge. I beat the case,
I didn't but if I had of killed a hundred people I could not of been held responsible, but the guy that spike my drink could of, but he was most likely CIA and would have never been found.

I suggest he eat his huevos as well.

This is one sick dude.

Mind if I ask your credentials and exactly in what capacity you have examined this man?

You have a sound theory but you really are assumnig an awful lot. Why again would a sane man walk around for weeks with evidence of murder in their pockets? Why would that sane man then go to the police to tell them what he did if he was so smart and cunning as to pull out his eye before court as you claim? Does that really seem all that cunning? Walking around with proof of the crime and telling police you did it? Are you a doctor of some kind? Have you studied this man any farther than reading this thread?

Yeah, I agree with you completely. Besides, even if he WERE so cunning as to do this intentionally for an insanity plea, why do BOTH eyes? He could have done something a little less dehabilitating. Most people do like having the ability to see afterall.

Agreed.....he could have just done the old peanut butter in his underpants routine if he wanted to get a psych rap.


Pretending to eat doody in a packed court room doesnt seem quite so severe compared to gouging out and eating your own eyeball.

there should be a more stream line process once someone is sentence to death to the time it is carried out. Though that would cut down on the time that someone would have to prove their innocence. You never know if some piece of evidence were to turn up that would exonerate them just mere minutes after they had died. On the other hand there have been people here in Ohio that have been on death row for over 30 years. We need to come to happy medium. In the case of the inmate. he obviously need sever psychological help.
