Sports fan gets death for killing nagging wife who wanted to cuddle

A man angry with his wife because she nagged him to cuddle after sex while he wanted to watch sports on television has been sentenced to death for killing her with a claw hammer.

...``The defendant struck his wife approximately 70 individual blows after spending a happy interlude with her,'' Costello said. ``Her desire to cuddle after sex does not justify the extremely violent, brutal response of the defendant.''

I'd comment, but I think the story speaks for itself.

I'm a little shocked by the comment "her desire to cuddle after sex does not justify the extremely violent, brutal response of the defendant."

What DOES justify being beaten 70 times by a claw hammer? Pleading for replacing the empty toilet paper roll?

Psst - the reporter is also from Florida.

Wormie, I have to laugh...our local talk show guy said almost the same thing this afternoon after relating your above story, AND a story about a Floridian who wanted to divorce his wife, but wanted her to dump him....

....so he told her he picked up a hitchhiker (he'd found some guy's wallet laying around), killed him, and hid the body in the woods.

She turned him into the cops, and after an extensive search to find the body (none, of course), they arrested him for making up stuff.

Nice state you live in.

Leaving the seat up in the middle of the night?

Methinks I'll be kicked out of the girl club. Why? I lift the seat up when I'm done in my house. I like to be contrary. Plus it messes with all my guy friends' and my guy's friends' heads.

No Leslie, I think that's funny. I may try it myself (except that my habit is to put the lid down before I flush).

Honestly, it doesn't bother me in the least to have the seat up, I just drop it down. Big deal.

There have to be some kind of repercussions for not having such a hot school system.

**drmomentum**[$] · #11 08-06-2005, 10:32 AM

We always put the seat down when we flush here.

Haven't you all seen those films of what happens when you flush an open toilet? Ew.

**theworm**[$] · #12 08-06-2005, 01:04 PM

Oh no! JP! Now you have me thinking of that horrid scene from Train Spotting. Ick Ick Ick!
I generally put the lid down.

Nancy Clayton claims Michael Anthony Wayne told her he was the Messiah and lured her to Florida with promises that she would find everlasting salvation.

Recently divorced, Clayton, a 21-year veteran with the Tustin, Calif., Police Department, quit her job as a sergeant, retired from the Marine Reserves and, in December 1999, moved to Coral Springs to live with the 53-year-old Wayne, whom she had met on the Internet three months earlier.

In 2000, she paid $150,000 for a house in Coral Springs and signed it over to him, she said, because he told her she would go to hell if she didn't...

The sign at the border should not say "Welcome to the Sunshine State". It should say "Abondon hope, all ye who enter here"

Good googly-moogly! You don't think it's catching, do you? Actually, I bet it is - that would explain many of the equally stupid things that go on here in your neighbor to the north.

Oh, my, Wormie. What stories!

**pippadaisy**[$] · #16 08-08-2005, 08:00 AM

LOL! The Messiah, eh? I should have G try that one.

You should NEVER move in with someone you meet on the Internet. They're all axe-murderers!

**pippadaisy**[$] · #18 08-08-2005, 03:37 PM

LMAO. Who else is in trouble then, besides me and Wormie?

**theworm**[$] · #19 08-08-2005, 03:41 PM

Add Sara to the list.

**lynnzop**[$] · #20 08-08-2005, 03:42 PM

Well, I don't live with anyone I met online, but I've met and slept with plenty of them!

(That doesn't sound right...I don't mean SLEPT WITH, I mean slept in their homes or had them sleep over...I think I'm just digging a deeper hole here....)
