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.
