This is real gross. Who else have the guts to pull out their own eye except him? Let alone eating it.

HOUSTON — A Texas death row inmate with a history of mental problems pulled out his only good eye and told authorities he ate it.

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. (full news)
