Florida double murderer goes viral for 'smug, soulless'
courtroom demeanor--
Wade Wilson strangled Kristine Melton to death after meeting her
at a bar and ran over Diane Ruiz after seeing her on a street
Saturday, June 29th, 2024
A Florida jury this week recommended the death penalty for a man
convicted of killing two women in 2019.
Wade Wilson was found guilty of strangling Kristine Melton to
death as she slept the morning after he met her at a bar, and
then he beat, strangled and ran over Diane Ruiz with his car
after seeing her on a street that same day.
Ten out of the 12 jurors in the Lee County Courthouse in Fort
Myers voted on Tuesday that Wilson, whose seemingly "smug" and
"smirking" demeanor in court went viral, should be put to death
for killing Ruiz, and nine out of 12 voted for death in Melton’s
murder. State law requires eight jurors to vote for the death
penalty.
The decision will be up to Judge Nicholas Thompson July 23.
Social media users following the trial called Wilson "soulless"
and accused the murderer of looking "smug" and "smirking" while
his crimes were relayed to the jurors.
"He's remorseless & says he'd do it again. I'm not 'an eye for
an eye' person. I never have been. But smug aloofness as Wade
Wilson displays, makes me think life in a cell with 3 meals a
day, in genpop, isn't okay," a user wrote on X.
Another added, "Note the psychopathic smirk on the face of the
serial strangler."
A third said, "Wade Wilson was given the death penalty in
Florida for murdering two women. His own father turned him cause
the creature was a soulless monster."
"You know, you’re asking someone to take another life, and so
it’s always a difficult thing," Assistant State Attorney Sara
Miller said after the recommendation, according to FOX 4. "I
think in this case it was a justified act given the horrific
nature of this case.
"Both murders were especially heinous, atrocious and cruel. He
inflicted pain, and he showed utter indifference to her
[Melton's] life."
The defense tried to argue during the trial that Wade has a
"diseased mind" and the "disease of drug addiction," the station
reported.
But Miller told jurors, "It’s not credible that mental illness
caused the defendant to murder Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz.
He was under the influence of power, of lust, of control, of
hate.
"Many people suffer from drug addictions, but they don’t go out
and commit murders."
