'Deadpool Killer' Wade Wilson Sentenced to Death for Double Murder

Florida man convicted of killing two women in 2019 shows no emotion as judge delivers capital punishment.

  • Wade Wilson, 30, was found guilty of murdering Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz in Cape Coral, Florida.
  • The murders were described as 'heinous, atrocious, and cruel' by Circuit Judge Nicholas Thompson.
  • Wilson's defense argued he suffered from brain damage and mental health issues exacerbated by drug addiction.
  • Despite the brutal nature of his crimes, Wilson received fan mail and love letters while in prison.
  • The jury's recommendation for the death penalty was upheld by the judge, with no mitigating factors sufficient to spare Wilson's life.
