News summary

Wade Wilson, a 30-year-old Florida man with Nazi face tattoos, has been sentenced to death for the 2019 murders of two women, Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz, in Cape Coral. Wilson strangled Melton in her sleep and later killed Ruiz in a brutal attack that included beating and running her over with his car. The jury recommended the death penalty based on the heinous nature of the crimes and Wilson's prior criminal history, despite defense arguments citing his mental health issues. The courtroom erupted in cheers when the sentence was announced, as family members expressed relief after five years of agony. Wilson's adoptive parents pleaded for leniency but were ultimately unsuccessful, with the judge emphasizing that nothing in Wilson's background justified a lesser sentence. He will now await execution on death row, while the families of the victims vow to keep their memories alive.
