livendive 8 #1 August 5, 2005 Florida sports fan sentenced to death Posted: Friday August 5, 2005 12:55AM; Updated: Friday August 5, 2005 12:55AM PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) -- A man who got angry with his wife because she wanted to cuddle after sex when what he really wanted to do was watch sports on television was sentenced to death for killing her with a claw hammer. Christopher Offord, 30, was sentenced Wednesday by Circuit Judge Dedee Costello, who said the brutality of the crime outweighed any mental problems Offord may have had. "The defendant struck his wife approximately 70 individual blows after spending a happy interlude with her," the judge said. "Her desire to cuddle after sex does not justify the extremely violent, brutal response of the defendant." Offord pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the 2004 slaying of Dana Noser, 40, at his apartment. He confessed to a bartender at a sports bar before his arrest. He told investigators that his wife had been nagging him to come back to bed. Offord did not speak in court but said in a jailhouse interview in June: "I figured I killed her so I deserve to die."

Hackb431 0 #2 August 5, 2005 When I read this in the morning paper I got quite a giggle. "A man who got angry with his wife because she wanted to cuddle after sex when what he really wanted to do was watch sports on television was sentenced to death for killing her with a claw hammer." I then proceeded to show it to every woman in the office and told them, "Now let that be a warning to you all!" Every one had a great laugh. Kinda sad some poor woman had to die to bring a smile to my face but then again I have been accused of being slightly twisted.HackB A.K.A.
