The character of Blind Butchie was inspired by a case that David Simon covered in his book "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Street". Patrolman Gene Cassidy was shot in the head at point blank range with a .357 Magnum handgun. Although initially expected to die of his injuries, Cassidy made a partial recovery but was left blind and without his sense of smell or taste. A drug dealer named Butchie Frazier was eventually convicted of attempted murder in the first degree.
