Anthony Blakely was satisfied with guilty verdicts against the Jacksonville man who cut his eyeballs out during a 2008 attack, but he said it's still hard to grasp how much of life's beauty was stolen from him that night.
"It brings closure, but it's still a little empty," Blakely said minutes after a jury convicted Foster Rayfield Leon of kidnapping and attempted second-degree murder with a weapon.

Absolutely barbaric. That is exactly what our problem is though, the barbarians have breached the gate.

400 years of slavery caused this.

They should surgically remove Leon’s eyes and transplant them into Mr. Blakely.

When the jurors were asked whether the defendant was guilty, they all responded, “Aye!”

This is NOT the first time I've read about an atrocity like this happening in this country. :-( Thankfully previous atrocities have been quite rare, but there have been a few criminals who've tried to prevent witnesses from ID'ing them by deliberately destroying the victim's eyesight. There have been a *very* few cases of revenge blinding, too, but that's been even rarer .
I don't care if is IS "stooping to their level" : Cases like this *almost* make me wish we had a "sharia law option". WHY should a thing like this, who robbed a man of his sight, go to prison with his capacity to enjoy cable TV and porn mags (yes, both are obtainable in prison) intact? I hope someone in the prison he goes to agrees with me, and has the capacity to act.
