Wade Wilson, known as the 'Deadpool Killer', was sentenced to death for the brutal murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz in 2019. Circuit Judge Nicholas Thompson described the crimes as 'heinous, atrocious, and cruel', noting that Wilson strangled Melton after a drug-fueled encounter and later murdered Ruiz, running her over multiple times. The jury recommended the death penalty, citing aggravating factors such as the premeditated nature of the killings. Despite the severity of his actions, Wilson received love letters from admirers during his incarceration, and his defense argued for leniency due to his troubled background and brain damage from drug use. The courtroom erupted in cheers upon the announcement of the sentence, showcasing the public's reaction to Wilson's heinous acts. The case highlights the complexities of human behavior and the societal response to violent crime.
