Man Gets Death For Killing Wife After Sex
PANAMA CITY, Fla. — 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."

And so he deserves what's come to him... guess he's not going to be getting any more sex in his lifetime.

lol Funny. Of course if it had been a woman killing her husband for coming in 60 seconds and falling asleep, then we'd have a whole new set of issues to mull over.

Who writes those things? That's got to be the most delayed introductory sentence I've ever seen in an article.
I guess it wouldn't have quiet the same ring to say "A man who killed his wife because she wanted to cuddle after sex was sentenced to death. He wanted to watch sports on television, officials say."
Ah, nevermind
