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 am white...I live in a trailer...and it really worries me that someone might consider me "white trailer trash" because of it...."

My son is white and lives in a travel trailer, and he likes to joke about it. I hope to soon have a "trailer" of my own so I can be "white trailer trash" which seems to be a step or two up from "white trash"...

Any way you look at it, if you are making payments on it (or it is paid for) you have nothing to be ashamed of. Don't let some ignorant person dictate how you live your life. Be proud of who you are and to 7734 with someone's OPINION of who you are.

Just like the story about the guys pilfering from a State construction site, I think that someone didn't get their bribe money and made folks pay for the oversight.

In 1969, I lived in Pensacola, Fla for the summer. My oldest relatives {aunt} is in her late 70's or early 80's. I think she was born in Noma, Florida and has lived in Florida all of her life. She probably moved to Panama City sometime in the 1950's or early 60's.

We left Pensacola to come back to Southern California. We stopped at a rest area in Alabama. When the rain started, we got in the cars and kept driving west. The rain that we felt was the first bands of rain from hurricane Camille. At some times we were just a few hours ahead of her landfall. I remember we got the last tank of gas at one service station before he {the owner} closed up and headed out.

In the Circuit Court, Fourteenth Judicial Circuit
of the State of Florida, In and for Bay County

Christopher Offord,
Defendant/Appellant,
vs.
State of Florida,
Plaintiff/Appellee.

Case No.: 04-2723CFMA-H

Sentencing Order

The defendant entered a plea of guilty before this Court on March 23, 2005 to the first degree murder of his wife, Dana K. Noser. The defendant reconfirmed his plea of guilty because the tape recording of the original plea was misplaced and unavailable. A penalty phase hearing was conducted before a jury on May 31st, 2005 through June 2nd, 2005 and the jury recommended by a vote 12-0 that a sentence of death be imposed. A Spencer hearing was held on July 18, 2005 and additional evidence was taken. The defendant submitted a sentencing memorandum which was considered by the Court, but the State did not present a sentencing memorandum. The Court now finds as follows:

Facts:

On July 31, 2004, the defendant Christopher Offord killed his wife by beating her with his fists, stabbing her with a steak knife and ultimately beating her to death with the claw side of a hammer after administering approximately seventy (70) blows to her face, knees and stomach.

The defendant and the victim were married a few days after meeting each other in March 2004. Ms. Noser had filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage which had been served on the defendant four (4) days before he killed her on July 31, 2004. The day before her death she drove him to his place of employment and returned him to the apartment he was living in. She then went out with friends drinking and came back to the apartment about 3:00 awakening him and he wanted to go out drinking at a local bar. The defendant drank a beer and shot pool while she only drank water there. They went to a Waffle House for breakfast at about 4:00 a.m. and sat on the same side of the bench while eating. They joked and were affectionate with each other, went back to the defendant's apartment and engaged in sexual activity. He left the bedroom after having sex with her, went into the kitchen and picked up a knife, some duct tape and a pair of scissors. He was annoyed at her attempt to "cuddle" after sex and planned to kill her with the knife after muffling her expected screams with the tape. When the knife bent, he picked up a hammer and beat her incessantly with its claw end. Based on the testimony presented and the other evidence in the case, the Court finds as follows:

“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.”

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

Great call. It should be the same in all murders"

Agreed, but this ruling won't stand. The Supremes have determined you can't execute someone who is mentally ill. They'll keep him on thorazine in some state hospital the rest of his life at taxpayer expense. It ain't right, but I'll bet that's what they do.

I think she was born in Noma, Florida

The town never recovered from its loss:

The estimated population, in 2003, was 215.

I think some people can't handle real life horror and have to make jokes to cover up the way they really feel.

That's pretty much it. In this case. If you really want to be disgusted, go to some other threads. In one a kid aggravated an adult, the guy chased him into the street where he was run over. General consensus- No pitty for the kid or his family

Another thread: Two teens threw eggs at cars. One guy got seriously ticked off. Shot them. One kid died after getting hit in the back. general consensus- Stupid kids, driver knew what to do, good on him

It was a totally asinine thing to do – but – watch it ladies, NFL regular season starts in just over 5 weeks.

Maybe it would be good to warn women (for the sake of their health) that their husbands should be "cut off" until after the SuperBowl then.

I guess that means he's not a Muslim.

Now equating your tagline to the above article's criminal hapenstance, as reported, is it the killer or the killee that needed killin' here?

Well, considering that the provocation of the wife (if seeking "cuddling" could be considered a provocation) was relatively innocent and non-threatening, I would have to conclude that it is the killer in this case (i.e., the husband) who "just needs killin".

Trailer parks are a neccesity. When they are 'blown away', NOAA finds it easy to caculate the wind speed.
