Emails: Markeith Loyd Blind In One Eye

Markeith Loyd, who is accused of killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend and also an Orlando police officer, is blind in one eye as a result of his arrest in the January, according to the emails that obtained.

Loyd, who faces multiple charges in the shooting deaths of Sade Dixon and a Orlando police Lt. Debra Clayton, obtained the emails using the Florida's public records law. Loyd was arrested on Jan. 17 after a nine-day manhunt in the wake of Clayton's death. An arrest video shows that an officer kicking Loyd after he crawled out of a home where he had been hiding. Police said that they used force because Loyd was resisting arrest.

The Orlando Sentinel reported that Loyd filed the Freedom of Information Act request to get the emails. One email sent to the Orlando Police Chief John Mina said that surgery would leave Loyd blind in his left eye.

Lt. Dan Brady sent Mina an update on 18th Jan. about Loyd’s condition at the hospital.

Gov. Rick Scott appointed a special prosecutor after the Orlando-area State Attorney Aramis Ayala announced she would not seek the death penalty. A special prosecutor, the State Attorney Brad King, filed notice of intent on Monday to seek the death penalty.

Loyd, who previously said that he would represent himself in both the murder trials, asked a judge earlier in this week to allow Terence Lenamon to represent him. The judge was expected to make a ruling on Wednesday during a court hearing.
