Judge a tortured soul that is blind (8)
I believe the answer is:
jalousie
'blind' is the definition.
(jalousie is a kind of blind)
'judge a tortured soul that is' is the wordplay.
'judge' becomes 'j'.
'tortured' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'that is' becomes 'ie' ('i.e.' can be a synonym of 'that is').
'soul' anagrammed gives 'lous'.
'j'+'a'+'lous'+'ie'='JALOUSIE'
(Other definitions for jalousie that I've seen before include "Louvred window" , "Slatted blind or shutter" .)
