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 (search), 30, was sentenced Wednesday by Circuit Judge Dedee Costello (search), 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 did not speak in court but said in a jailhouse interview in June: "I figured I killed her so I deserve to die."
And there's the bottom line...at least the idiot took responsibility for his actions, reprehensible as they are.
How soon before he starts getting marriage offers from the same bunch of pathetic losers who have married the Menendez brothers and are swooning over Scott Peterson?

What a psycho...
In truth she probably didn't want to cuddle, that his story. She was probably wondering when it would start and he was already finished.

The article neglected to say which particular sports show he needed to see.

On the other hand, it's hard to believe any woman would be attracted enough to Mr Psycho Eyes, that she would want to "get a little somethin'-somethin'."

Still, even if it were the Superbowl no more than 30 blows with a claw hammer would have been appropriate.

Having lived in Panama City, FL, I can safely guess it probably was Florida State football.

It would sure be great if the media learned the difference between killing and murder. This guy got the death penalty for committing murder.

They can't quite figure out what terrorism is...the concept murder will probably have to wait.

Just a guess but I'd say he might be on anti-psychotics which give him the wild-eyed look.

It's really unfathomable. Immediately after 9-11, I had read a report on how some perverted women felt sexually attracted to Osama bin Laden. Someone here may fish that story out for you.

"...it's hard to believe any woman would be attracted enough to Mr Psycho Eyes" I was fascinated by how much he looks like me without the eyeglasses. Perhaps I should ditch the contact lens idea...
How does one ramp down intensity and paranoia after a lifetime of justification? (heh heh) Course I'd never flip like this dude.

I think you're referring to Patty "Osama Mama" Murray, (D-WA)
