Obviously a, um, miscalculation. He's deeply sick and probably can't ever be well. Regular prison isn't the spot for him. And no, it's not okay to kill people who are so insane. They are dangerous and need to be isolated from society and protected from themselves, but obviously don't have the capacity to understand societal rules and should not be punished as if they do, i.e., with execution.

After the first time the judge thought he was fit to stand trial. He should have been locked up forever for his and other's safety. We don't execute the mentally ill. That said, if one faced life in prison (or execution), I think that losing ones vision wouldn't be too bad. I'm serious. You might prefer not seeing your surroundings. I guess closing your eyes would work too... He pulled out both eyeballs, on different occasions. After the first time the judge thought he was fit to stand trial.
