Wade Wilson Now: Where Is the Convicted Killer Today?

by

As a fan who closely follows true crime stories, I find the case of Wade Wilson, also known as Deadpool in his own twisted way, absolutely chilling. The fact that this man, who went by such an iconic name, was found guilty of two gruesome murders is both shocking and heartbreaking.

In June 2024, Wade Wilson, also known as Deadpool in pop culture, stood trial for the murders of two women in October 2019. According to the news, Wilson was taken into custody following his confession to his father about the crimes. Consequently, he was indicted on multiple charges, including first-degree murder, and pleaded not guilty. The jury returned a verdict of guilt and recommended capital punishment. His sentencing is scheduled for July 23, 2024. Wilson currently remains in a Florida prison, awaiting his sentence.

Based on News-Press’s account, Wade Wilson’s father took the stand at the trial and disclosed the intricacies of the crime. Quoting his testimony, the publication stated that Wilson phoned his dad and shared the horrific details of the murders. Initially, the father was skeptical as he considered Wilson a skilled narrator, but eventually accepted the truth. According to him, Wilson admitted to strangling one of the victims while she slept. Later, he encountered his second victim on the street and requested guidance. Wilson then choked her and forced her out of the vehicle while driving. Only after discovering that the woman was still alive did he run over her multiple times.

Instead of just an acquaintance of Wade Wilson testifying about the murders aside from his father, let me rephrase that: In addition to his father’s testimony, another person who knew Wade Wilson came forward and shared with the court that he had confessed to the killings at their workplace. According to this person’s statement reported by FOX4, Wilson made a casual remark about having taken lives and mentioned wrapping someone in a rug or bedding. Following a two-hour deliberation after hearing various testimonies and arguments presented by both sides, the jury reached a verdict of guilty as per WBBH News.

Where is convicted killer Wade Wilson now?

Based on information from the News-Press, Wade Wilson is now at Lee County Jail in Fort Myers, Florida. Should the judge uphold the death sentence, Wilson would be the 277th individual to receive this punishment. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 23rd, but Wilson’s legal team has submitted a motion and asked for a retrial regarding the murder charges. According to the report in News-Press, the court allegedly breached Wilson’s constitutional rights and misapplied the new law during the proceedings. Under the new law, if eight jurors advocate for the death penalty, the court will take this as the final recommendation.

As of now, the court has yet to decide on the aforementioned appeal.
