| Only in Florida...
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'm not sure I am in favour of the Death Penalty, but incidents like this makes me hope they have it in his state...
What's the matter with people, sports on television is more important than the life of another human being?! Sick bastard.

| I dunno... I'm not much of a cuddler, myself... and if it were fencing on TV...?
But no, that's just sick. I would never condone that kind of behavior. And just what's he doing with a hammer in bed, anyway?

Seriously, that dude is messed up. Whats the moral of the story? Dont ever ask anyone to cuddle if they dont want to.

- Do not watch too much sport on telly. (The man was obviously addicted in some sick way.
 ) - Do not keep a hammer nearby if you know you have not powers enough to control your temper.

| I think the moral of the story is:
Don't marry the kind of person who would kill you with a hammer because you're bothering him while he's trying to watch sports. |

| I think the bottom moral is to not take a man away from his sports.

| This is why it's wise to have a television in the bedroom.

No. (Unless you count that f.net film I made... but that was all in good fun.) And you're right, maybe I'm about as cuddly as a thorn-bush. But maybe it's from hanging around so many prick(ly people) here so long?

| The rest of Florida should give the Panhandle to Alabama and improve both states.
