Texas death row inmate who gouged out own eyes seeks clemency
Fox News
Attorneys for 39-year-old Andre Thomas, a Texas death row inmate who gouged out his own eyes, are seeking clemency for their mentally ill client ahead of his April execution.
"Gov. Abbott has the power to stop the spectacle of prison guards leading a blind, mentally incompetent delusional man to the death chamber," attorney Maurie Levin said, according to The Associated Press. Julia Musto is a reporter for Fox News and Fox Business Digital.
Thomas, who started hearing voices when he was nine years old and first attempted suicide when he was ten, fatally stabbed his 20-year-old estranged wife, Laura Christine Boren, their four-year-old son Andre Lee and her 13-month-old daughter Lehya Marie Hughes in 2004 in Sherman, Texas. He also cut out the hearts of the two children and later told police that God had instructed him to commit the killings and that he believed all three were demons.
