Man Kills Wife After Sex To Watch Sports On TV
The Associated Press ^ | 12:45 pm EDT August 4, 2005 | AP

PANAMA CITY, Fla. -- A Florida sports fan has been sentenced to death for killing his wife after sex.

Christoper Offord got angry because his wife wanted to cuddle after they had sex -- but he wanted to watch sports on television. She died after being struck dozens of times with a claw hammer.

Offord later confessed to a bartender at a sports bar, and eventually pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.

In imposing the death sentence, the judge said the brutality of the crime outweighed any of the defendant's possible mental problems.

Offord did not speak in court, but admitted in a jailhouse interview that he deserved to die.

I always heard that it was putting a red 'X' on the sheep that bite. Or maybe that was just Arkansas....

but killing him isn't going to stop domestic violence (thus no deterrence value.) Ahh well, I'm sure I'm in the minority.



Not at DU

I checked the various news stories, and there was no picture of Offord. I wonder why?

I would like to respond to this comment.

I am white...I live in a trailer...and it really worries me that someone might consider me "white trailer trash" because of it. This is among the most offensive sayings, in my opinion.

I have relatives that live in Panama City, Florida.

They have some of the most beautiful beaches {white sand} in the world. I haven't been there since 1984.

Enjoy.

That was bizarre. It's hard to know what the truth is when you're dealing with commies.
