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

Andre Thomas, 25, was arrested for the fatal stabbings of his estranged wife, their young son and her 13-month-old daughter in March 2004. Their hearts also had been ripped out. He was convicted and condemned for the infant's death.

While in the Grayson County Jail in Sherman, Thomas plucked out his right eye before his trial later in 2004. A judge subsequently ruled he was competent to stand trial.

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.

"He will finally be able to receive the mental health care that we had wanted and begged for from day 1," Bobbie Peterson-Cate, Thomas' trial attorney, told the Sherman Herald Democrat. "He is insane and mentally ill. It is exactly the same reason he pulled out the last one."

No Video= FAIL.

I worked at the hospital in Sherman that he was treated in when he was first arrested and plucked his first eye. Crazy shit yo. They had the ICU on total lockdown to protect him from the victim's family. And apparently he would randomly start spouting Apocalyptic Bible verses and his heart rate and blood pressure would both go way up.

that's brutal.

What a tough crazy mother fucker. Your eyes are the most sensitive part of your body. Do any of you have a clue how much it would hurt to pry your own eye out with only things you would find in a jail cell? If that is in fact the way he went about it.

It hurts enough to just get poked in the eye. I think most people would pass out in shock from the pain pulling an eye out.

He doesn't belong on death row.

Fun fact:

Your eyes only have 1 Optical Nerve.

There are no pain nerves/receptors on the surface, etc.

Pro Tip: Touch your eye with a clean finger.
Find something else on your body that you can touch and feel with less force, pressure, ect.

Also, ever worn contacts? How about my friends who wore the old glass contacts? As so much as a little scratch on your eye will have you on your knees.

I rest my case.

so that's why rubbing sandpaper on my exposed eye doesn't hurt!

That's only the eyelids and other sensative skin parts.

However, pulling the eye and its nerve out is a completely different story.
