Man Accused of Blinding Wife With Carrot
MONROE, Conn. - A 46-year-old man is accused of assaulting his wife with a carrot, causing her to lose sight in one eye. Roderick Vecsey is charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
Pamela Vecsey, 46, underwent six hours of surgery after being hit in the left eye with the vegetable Saturday night, but doctors were not able to restore her vision, prosecutor Stephanie Damiani said.
The couple was arguing when Roderick Vecsey tossed the carrot, Damiani said.
Roderick Vecsey told Judge Patrick Carroll that it was a terrible accident, and was advised to remain silent.
The judge set a hearing for Thursday. Vecsey is currently free after posting $500 bond.
i know it's a tragic situation, but i guess the beta-carotene didn't help in this case.
Didn't the wife have to press charges for this?
What a bitch. If my husband threw a carrot at me, and it accidentally took my eye out, I'd be pissed but I wouldn't press charges. Unless of course, he was violent. Then she should press charges.
Perhaps "an eye for an eye" justice should be brought back?
