The man dubbed the ‘Deadpool killer’ exhibited a chilling reaction after hearing the closing arguments in his case, which included quotes from his own admissions. Sharing a name with the Marvel character Wade Wilson, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds, this Wade Wilson is far from the comedic vigilante. Earlier this year, he was sentenced to death for his crimes. report from Ladbible.
Wilson was convicted of the murders of Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, in Fort Myers, Florida, in October 2019. The heavily tattooed defendant, marked with swastikas, ‘666’, a Joker-inspired mouth tattoo, and the phrase ‘Bred for war’ on his face, told the court he killed the women ‘for the sake of killing,’ within hours of each other.
On June 12, Wilson was convicted of six charges, including two counts of first-degree murder, battery, burglary, theft, and grand theft auto. The jury voted for the death penalty.
In a chilling testimony, Wilson’s biological father, Steven Testasecca, recounted a phone call from October 6, 2019, where Wilson confessed to the murders. Wilson described Melton’s death bluntly, saying, “I choked that b***h.” Melton’s body was later found wrapped in sheets.
Testasecca also testified about Ruiz’s death, stating that Wilson lured her into a car stolen from Melton, strangled her, and then ran her over multiple times, saying, “He ran her over until she looked like spaghetti.”
During closing arguments, the State highlighted Wilson’s words to his father: “I’ve already done it once, I’ll do it again.” As the cameras focused on him, Wilson remained completely emotionless, staring blankly at the lawyer without showing any remorse. told by The Express.
The State described the case as ‘nothing more than a graphic, vulgar display of power.’ Despite Wilson’s defense arguing mental illness, the jury upheld the death penalty for both murders.
In a bizarre twist, Wilson’s lawyer made a final request for the court to expedite Wilson’s transfer to death row, saying, “I understand he has other cases pending here and elsewhere… but Mr. Wilson asked me to ask the court within whatever authority you have to get him to death row as soon as possible.”
Circuit Judge Thompson responded that the other cases against Wilson could only be heard on September 16 at the earliest, and the date for his execution remains unknown due to these pending charges.
