For Those Of You Who Like To Cuddle After....Well, You Know

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."

I have to say I am a bit shocked at how he worded that statement. Like cuddling is a bad thing?

...my wife has a claw - hammer...damn..this situation could be entirely familiar.

If I die, from claw-hammer blows to the head, you all will know why.

Is this a HUGE inderstatement or what????

Jeez couldn't he have just said "I want to watch TV ." I think she might have gotten the idea without the claw hammer.
