Deadpool Killer Sentenced to Death in Florida

News summary

Wade Wilson, dubbed the 'Deadpool Killer' for sharing a name with the Marvel antihero, has been sentenced to death for the 2019 murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz in Florida. Wilson, 30, showed no emotion as Judge Nicholas Thompson described the crimes as 'heinous, atrocious, and cruel,' with evidence revealing the second murder was 'cold, calculated, and premeditated.' Despite receiving thousands of letters and explicit photos from admirers during his incarceration, Wilson's defense argued that his drug addiction, brain damage, and abandonment issues from being adopted should mitigate his sentence, but the court rejected these claims. Wilson requested a swift transfer to Death Row, underscoring the severity of his crimes. His adoptive parents and several supporters pleaded for leniency, but the judge upheld the jury’s recommendation for the death penalty.
