00:07This has been five years of agony.
00:13I'm still waiting for her to walk through the door.
00:16This was an evil menace out on the street.
00:20This case began in 2019.
00:31We're just thankful that we were able to get it done.
00:35State of Florida versus Wade Wilson.
00:38I call it Wade's world, and within Wade's world, you've got the Wade wives.
00:42Send him love, send him hope.
00:44There was never any hope with these lawyers.
00:46So they tried to demonize anybody except the man who really needs to be demonized, Wade Wilson.
00:53This case was about killing for the sake of killing.
00:58He went after Christine Milton, he went after Melissa Montanez, and he went after Diane Ruiz.
01:09I'm Diane Ruiz's youngest child.
01:12Everything told me that she was coming home.
01:15They almost killed myself because I couldn't bear the idea without turning 15 without my mom.
01:20I felt for him so bad, and I hated Wade for it.
01:24You're just sitting there, not showing anything.
01:28There she is.
01:29Look at her.
01:30Look at her.
01:33You can see it.
01:34I know you can.
01:37Maybe a sense of relief for the family.
01:46That's Wade Wilson in October.
01:49That's Wade Wilson now.
01:51Who in their right mind does that to themselves?
01:55My understanding is that the jury has reached a verdict.
01:58Are we ready to proceed?
01:59Yes, sir.
02:00Yes, sir.
02:01He's so nervous.
02:03He knows it's about to be bad for him.
02:05I hope and I pray every night.
02:08Almost that it's a nightmare that I'll wake up from this.
02:11I'll have to live with the rest of my life, thinking about, you know, my child, possibly getting executed.
02:23I guess you know what comes across my mind?
02:25Murder.
02:27Just murder, murder.
02:29When I get that way, I become the devil.
02:31Baby, let me feed this darkest desire.
02:42Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, welcome back.
02:44As we're ready to proceed.
02:46Interest was definitely building all through the trial.
02:49There's fans who have never met this man.
02:51Maybe they've never even talked to this man.
02:53They're showing up for this trial.
02:58My name is Jumpsuit Pablo.
03:01Mic check, test, test, test.
03:03I'm a TikToker.
03:05Welcome back, everybody.
03:07Who is this Jumpsuit Pablo guy?
03:09Um, he's just some fucking troll who's just been covering your case that, like, thinks he knows shit.
03:14Another day in Wade's world.
03:17I'm posting clips.
03:18They're getting 5 million, 9 million, 21 million views.
03:23Extraordinary.
03:24I kept hearing this female energy tell me a name.
03:28And it was Wade.
03:30Wade.
03:31Wade Wilson.
03:33There's this dreamy man who's just misunderstood, and he didn't do any of this stuff.
03:38He's innocent.
03:39You know, this is all being, you know, he's being framed somehow.
03:42Y'all need to hear his words and what he has to say.
03:48Good afternoon.
03:49Please introduce yourself to the ladies and gentlemen of the jury by telling them your name.
03:53Master Corporal Nicholas Jones of the K-Corp Police Department.
03:57I became the assigned detective for a missing person, Diane Ruiz.
04:03And did Mr. Wilson indicate to you that he wished to speak to you?
04:07He did.
04:08Did you make any threats or promises in order to get him to speak with you?
04:12No, sir.
04:13No, sir.
04:13Did he request, was the only request that he made of you to get some french fries?
04:18It was a burger and fries, but yes, sir.
04:21All right.
04:22Ladies and gentlemen, you're about to hear recorded conversations.
04:26Give me some french fries and a burger, and I'm going to take you right where you want to go.
04:31You want the jury to remember something that, you know, really stands out.
04:36For them to, you know, listen to a confession at the end should have just sealed the deal for them.
04:43The truth is, I picked the girl up, and I killed her.
04:48I choked her out until she couldn't breathe anymore, and she was still alive, and I pushed her out of
04:54the car.
04:54And, um, she tried to get up, and I ran her over with the car.
04:58She was dead for sure.
05:01Hearing his confession, I didn't know how to handle it.
05:05I still loved him.
05:10And I was still trying so hard to believe that he was telling me the truth, even though everything was
05:14hitting me in the face.
05:18So, it was hard.
05:24Now, detective, the person that you sat down with on the 10th of October of 2019, do you see him
05:30sing in courtroom today?
05:31Yes, sir.
05:32I have no further questions for this witness at this time.
05:36No cross, Judge.
05:37State rests.
05:39All right.
05:40I mean, I hope those lawyers never have a job again.
05:43They were not making objections.
05:44They were not asking the proper questions.
05:47Things were not done in a timely manner.
05:51They're ready to blame anybody and everybody.
05:54And so, they tried to demonize anybody except the man who really needs to be demonized, Wade Wilson.
06:02I've done 10 years myself.
06:04I know how inmates think.
06:05I know how convicts operate.
06:07I know how prison hustles are.
06:08He's convinced women to smuggle drugs in for him.
06:11If you could state your name for the record, please.
06:12Bonnie Wiggins.
06:13She trafficked narcotics by sneaking them into the Lee County Jail.
06:18She did that numerous times.
06:21I love you.
06:22All right.
06:23I love you, too.
06:24I'm going to take care of it.
06:24I got you.
06:25I'm going to take care of it.
06:26For real.
06:27I would have told him no.
06:28I would have told him to go screw himself, to be perfectly honest.
06:31Bonnie Wiggins ruined her life for Wade Wilson.
06:35He will take anyone down with him that he can convince to go down with him.
06:40I had a woman reach out to me on Instagram and say that her son-in-law, his name was
06:46Brandon,
06:47and that he had been in jail right beside Wade Wilson.
06:50He looked up to Wade, thought Wade was so cool, in fact, so cool that he copied him and got
06:59the same tattoo of the stitches,
07:03the big stitches smile, the infamous smile stitches on his face.
07:08We used to work out in sales next to each other.
07:12Honestly, if we meet Wade, the shit that I've heard does not add up with his personality.
07:18That's who he looked up to and wanted to be like.
07:20Brandon has just been arrested for a murder of his own.
07:27I guess he got his wish.
07:29All right.
07:30And Mr. Wilson, you've had an opportunity to talk to your attorneys about whether you want to testify or not
07:35testify.
07:36Is that correct?
07:36Yeah.
07:37Okay.
07:37And have you made a decision as whether you want to testify or not?
07:40Yeah.
07:40And what is that decision?
07:41I don't know.
07:43The state would cross-examine the hell out of him, so taking the stand was not a good idea.
07:50There was nothing you could say that was going to justify any of it.
07:55Ladies and gentlemen, both the state and the defendant have now rested their case.
08:00The attorneys now present their final arguments.
08:03I continued to go.
08:05I had let him believe that I was still like, I'm on your side.
08:09It's going to be fine.
08:10You know.
08:10Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
08:16This case was about killing for the sake of killing.
08:21It's about how he killed.
08:26Blunt force trauma gained compliance for submission.
08:36Strangulation for silence.
08:40He went after Christine Milton.
08:42He went after Melissa Montanez.
08:45And he went after Diane Ruiz.
08:50Because only one survived that day.
08:54Only one.
08:55Why?
08:56Because there was too many people around.
09:00But if you remember what he said, he had killed her too and given a chance.
09:06I knew I was going to die that day.
09:08I knew I was going to die that day.
09:09And make no mistake about it.
09:11Despite his bragging, his boasting, and the excitement he wants to feel.
09:22This case was nothing more than a graphic, vulgar display of power.
09:32Thank you very much.
09:33Thank you very much for your time.
10:02Thank you very much.
11:02There was never any hope with these lawyers.
11:04That's just the truth.
11:06It was just obvious to me that they were either blinding themselves to what was happening in
11:12the courtroom, where they didn't bother to look at anything.
11:15They just said, oh, he's innocent.
11:20Send him good energy.
11:22Send him love.
11:23Send him hope.
11:24Put those in your prayers.
11:25Believe it or not, telepathy works.
11:27In a lot of his phone calls, call these girls Mrs. Wilson.
11:30No, I love you more, Mrs. Wilson.
11:32No, you don't.
11:33I love you more.
11:34He refers to them as his fiancée.
11:37He tells them he's going to impregnate them and they're going to have his babies.
11:39It's going to be so much fun when I can finally tell you that I'm pregnant.
11:42Like, I can't fucking wait.
11:43I'm already figuring out how I'm going to surprise you.
11:46I'm just ready.
11:47I'm ready to help you.
11:48It's concerning to me to see people fawning over him and gawking over him.
11:54We actually decided to let these women know they weren't the only ones.
12:00I need to see you every day.
12:03I love you.
12:03It's the only weekend of my life.
12:06And so in the trial, we actually read some of their names in court, on TV.
12:42What were you asked to do in this particular case?
12:43I didn't think they were going to get released.
12:45I had no idea.
12:46She thought she was special.
12:47She thought she was a fiancée.
12:51Jessica DeHotica, Brooklyn Gilley, Riley, Texas.
12:55So it's kind of like a slap in the face.
12:57It was.
12:58It was embarrassing.
13:00This is insane.
13:01So many names.
13:02So many girls.
13:03The Wade wives are like saying the same thing to all these other women.
13:06These girls must feel so silly right now.
13:10They went at each other from all angles.
13:13I just hate German girls so much.
13:14I just hate her so much.
13:15They've all just turned jealousy, rumors, drama.
13:20Well, the Jews can think what they want to think.
13:22You're mine.
13:23And you have no trust in the matter.
13:32Closing arguments are in the books.
13:34And his life is in the hands of the court now.
13:41It's probably my least favorite part is waiting.
13:44And I know for the family, it's excruciating.
13:49We knew that they'd be out for a little while just given the charges
13:54and the seriousness of it.
13:57So it's going to take some time.
14:02Any jury, we sat down.
14:04People, I think some people were in tears.
14:06I mean, silently.
14:08And the discussion started.
14:11And pictures were looked at.
14:13Came to a decision.
14:16Good afternoon.
14:17Please be seated.
14:18You could feel the tension with the family.
14:21They've waited for so long for this moment.
14:24If you can't control your emotions,
14:26I would ask that you be able to wait in the hallway.
14:29All right, let's bring the jurors in.
14:31He was glancing back and forth.
14:33Not just at me, but at the jury box.
14:37Ladies and gentlemen, the jury,
14:38my understanding is you have reached a verdict.
14:41I wanted to hear the verdict.
14:43I had to see it all for myself.
14:44I just wanted to finish it.
14:46State of Florida versus Wade Wilson.
14:49Case number 19 CF 0568.
14:54We, the jury, finds us follow as to the defendant in this case.
15:00Count one.
15:01First degree murder, Christine Melton.
15:08The defendant is guilty of first-degree murder.
15:14First degree murder, Diane Ruiz.
15:22The defendant is guilty of first-degree murder.
15:27So say we all, four person.
15:34Just the sighs of relief and the tears.
15:37You could hear that and feel that.
15:40Hearing the word guilty just confirmed that it was real
15:44and that there's no other way around.
15:46Like there, this is the final decision.
15:50Then he got found guilty.
15:51I think a lot more people woke up,
15:53but that did not stop the army that was behind him.
16:00He still did have a lot of people who are like,
16:02oh, this is an injustice.
16:03This video is not about trying to prove
16:05that Wade Wilson is innocent.
16:06It is to point out that this trial
16:08may not have been a fair trial,
16:09which is something everyone is entitled to.
16:11We're not just talking, you know,
16:13South Carolina, Oklahoma,
16:16and I mean, just worldwide.
16:20No, I'm not sure to 100% who they have committed.
16:25But I'm sorry for him so much.
16:27I repeat, there are still things
16:29that we still don't understand.
16:30They're not clear.
16:33They have every excuse in the book
16:35as to why this is just not right
16:37and they will make this right.
16:45Hey, everyone, this is Wade.
16:47For all my incredible supporters,
16:49I just wanted to express my gratitude
16:51for your love.
16:52And I encourage that
16:53your letters and kindness
16:54need more to me
16:55than I can put into words.
16:58Your supporters give me hope
17:00and strength
17:00to get through each thing.
17:04All right, so ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
17:07having completed
17:08what we call the guilt phase
17:11of the proceedings,
17:13it's now time
17:14for what will be called
17:15the penalty phase.
17:16We knew we were going to get
17:18a guilty verdict.
17:19The penalty phase
17:20was going to be
17:21the main battleground.
17:25The jury has to consider
17:26and weigh the aggravating factors
17:29versus the mitigating factors.
17:36What kind of childhood
17:37did the defendant have?
17:39Were they a drug addict
17:40or were they from a broken home?
17:43Mister, can you hear my name?
17:46I'm Candy Wilson.
17:47I am Wade's adoptive mother.
17:50We have two of the children
17:51and he was born Anthony Tessiseka.
17:54And I said, well, we'll call him Wade.
17:56He was as cute as Duff.
17:58I mean, we just fell
18:00head over heels for him.
18:02I spoke to him and why
18:04didn't have to say the way
18:07I think I had an older weight
18:08was such a delight.
18:10I mean, there was no anger in him.
18:13He was always smiling.
18:14He was always happy.
18:15People loved him.
18:16I mean, he was really a good child.
18:19Things would happen at school
18:21and we stood up for the underdog.
18:24He was just, even the teachers
18:27would say, Wade is so good.
18:32Hi, my name's Janelle.
18:35My whole relationship
18:37with Wade Wilson
18:38was in high school.
18:40He was really tall.
18:42You know, he was popular.
18:44All the popular girls
18:45dated him, liked him.
18:47We had the same group of friends.
18:49Just the typical
18:51high school stuff.
18:53This tattoo right here,
18:55I had gotten his, like,
18:57WSW Wade Stephen Wilson.
19:00He was a decent boyfriend.
19:04I'm not going to sit here in line
19:06and say, like,
19:06he was the best boyfriend.
19:07I have seen him turn
19:09into a different person
19:10while under the influence,
19:12like, in a lot of people.
19:14And, to be honest,
19:15myself included.
19:17I don't think he ever
19:18really truly knew himself.
19:21When it turned out,
19:23when he was about 15, 16,
19:25I told the biological mom
19:27that she could
19:28write him a letter.
19:30He started having
19:31an identity crisis.
19:32I could see it.
19:33That's when his
19:34hormones were changing.
19:36And he kept saying,
19:37well, why didn't they want me?
19:40When you do that,
19:41psychologically, to a child,
19:42they're either going to rebel
19:44or they're going to understand.
19:46And Wade didn't understand.
19:47He rebelled.
19:49He was, for the most part,
19:51of our friendship
19:52after high school,
19:54in and out of jail.
19:56So he's very institutionalized.
19:58He was accused
20:00of domestic violence,
20:03batteries by multiple women.
20:05He had burglaries
20:06and drugs
20:07in his record as well.
20:09We love him so much.
20:11More than you can
20:12ever imagine.
20:14I just,
20:15I hope and I pray
20:16every night.
20:18Almost that it's a nightmare
20:19that I'll wake up from this.
20:22The state of Florida
20:23is asking you
20:26to sense the defendant
20:27to the ultimate penalty,
20:29and that's death.
20:31Remember what he said.
20:33He was a lion.
20:35They were his prey.
20:38I'm like a fucking lion.
20:39I'm like,
20:40you're the prey.
20:40I can sense it.
20:41He could sense it.
20:44It just took him two minutes.
20:50They wouldn't scream.
20:52They wouldn't yell.
20:54He wouldn't get hurt.
20:56He wouldn't get scratched.
21:01They couldn't get away.
21:04Even if they wanted to,
21:07he was too strong.
21:10Both Christine Melton
21:12and Diane Ruiz
21:14endured a high degree of pain,
21:19utter indifference.
21:21It was outrageously wicked,
21:23vile,
21:24and shockingly evil.
21:25Thank you for your time.
21:30I'm putting the videos
21:31on YouTube,
21:32and I mean hundreds
21:33and hundreds
21:34of thousands of views.
21:37How can another man
21:39say that a person's life
21:41should be taken
21:42when two people
21:44already lost their life?
21:46To advocate
21:47for someone's life
21:48to be saved
21:49because you're against
21:50the death penalty,
21:51that's one thing.
21:52But to advocate
21:54because you think
21:54he's innocent
21:55or he's handsome,
21:59it really hurt the family.
22:13What we're going
22:14to be asking of you
22:15is probably going to be
22:17one of the most difficult
22:18decisions you'll ever
22:19have to make
22:20during your lifetime.
22:21We know that.
22:22We appreciate it.
22:24If you go back
22:25and you recall
22:25the testimony of witnesses,
22:27when the witnesses
22:28were questioned
22:28about what Mr. Wilson
22:30was like
22:31when he's not on drugs,
22:33he's charming,
22:35he's polite,
22:36he's cool.
22:39Other than what he did,
22:42you kind of felt
22:43sorry for him
22:44because he was born
22:46to a drug-impaired mother.
22:51And whatever he ingested
22:54that evening,
22:55you had
22:58a psychotic time bomb.
23:01I was on drugs, dude.
23:03I really can't believe it.
23:04You know?
23:05There's a lot of people
23:06on drugs that don't go around
23:07killing people.
23:08You're right.
23:09You're right.
23:09There is.
23:10You're right, Mila.
23:11This isn't an excuse
23:12for what happened.
23:14You've already decided
23:15that he killed
23:17these two women.
23:18We're not trying
23:19to excuse his conduct.
23:21We're trying to
23:23explain to you
23:24why somebody
23:26who's charming,
23:27polite,
23:28and cool
23:29would have done this.
23:43I kind of wish
23:44I never involved myself
23:45with him
23:45in the first place.
23:55I made the decision
23:56to keep coming back
23:56so I can hear the truth
23:58and see what was
24:00going to happen.
24:02If you'll just face
24:03the clerk
24:03and raise your right hand,
24:04she'll swear you in.
24:06I'm Zane Romero.
24:08I'm Diane Ruiz's
24:10youngest child.
24:12The moment
24:13that I realized
24:13that I was actually
24:15done was during
24:16Zane's testimony
24:18is when I broke down
24:19I think the hardest.
24:20I was only 14 years old
24:22when she passed.
24:24Just starting
24:24my freshman year
24:25of high school,
24:25she was so excited
24:27to see me grow up
24:30and so proud
24:31of what I was growing into.
24:33Everything told me
24:34that she was coming home.
24:37They almost killed myself
24:38because I couldn't
24:39bear the idea
24:40without turning
24:41fishing without my mom.
24:48I felt for him
24:50so bad
24:50and I hated
24:51Wade for it
24:52because if I could
24:53sit here
24:53and be bawling my eyes
24:55out for this child
24:56how much they loved
24:57their mother
24:57and was waiting
24:57for their mom
24:58to come home
24:58and you're just
24:59sitting there
25:00and not showing anything.
25:03That's me and my mom
25:04at the Moose Lodge
25:05on Mother's Day.
25:07I don't like pictures
25:08taken of myself
25:09and that was the only picture
25:10I let her take
25:12as a Mother's Day gift.
25:16It was horrible.
25:18It was horrible.
25:19That poor kid.
25:21There's no way
25:22you can sit in that courtroom
25:23and think any different.
25:26There's no way you can.
25:33Please state your name.
25:35My name is Samantha.
25:36How did you know
25:37Christine Melton?
25:39She was my best friend
25:40and my cousin.
25:43And Samantha,
25:44who is this
25:45a photograph of?
25:46That's Christine Melton
25:47and my daughter
25:49wearing outfits
25:50that they got
25:52for Christmas
25:52to match.
25:54That is my
25:56Christine
25:56and my son
25:57her godchild.
25:59It's Christine
26:00on Easter
26:02with bunny ears on
26:03with another child
26:04who loved her
26:05and who will never
26:06see her again.
26:09That's Christine
26:10and Monty.
26:12That was her cat,
26:13the one who sat
26:14next to her
26:14crumpled body.
26:17There she is.
26:18Look at her.
26:19Look at her.
26:22You can see it.
26:23I know you can.
26:25They were sad
26:26to look at.
26:27Very, very sad.
26:29There was a silence
26:30in the jury room
26:31from looking
26:32at those pictures.
26:34The prosecution
26:35has won this trial,
26:36but I assure you
26:38the family,
26:39friends,
26:40and loved ones
26:41of Christine
26:42and Melton
26:42have only lost.
26:51The death penalty
26:52was made
26:52for a criminal
26:53like Wade Wilson.
26:58I'm Dave Ehrenberg,
26:59former state attorney
27:00for Palm Beach County.
27:03There's an electric chair
27:04nicknamed Old Sparky.
27:07Florida used to use it
27:08until a few years ago
27:10when the electric chair
27:12malfunctioned
27:13and someone was being
27:14put to death
27:15and smoke came out
27:17of that person's eyes.
27:20So now Florida
27:21uses a combination,
27:24a drug combination.
27:25It's lethal injection.
27:26But the electric chair
27:28is still available
27:29if a defendant
27:30wants it,
27:31which even
27:32a sociopath
27:33like Wade Wilson
27:35is unlikely to do.
27:39Are we ready then
27:40for the defense
27:41to begin
27:42their presentation?
27:43Yes, sir.
27:43All right.
27:44Okay.
27:45Please tell us your name.
27:47Dr. Hyman Eisenstein.
27:49What is your profession?
27:51I am a licensed
27:53clinical psychologist,
27:56PhD.
27:57And is there anything
27:58that you specifically
28:00recall at this time
28:02that indicated to you
28:03that Mr. Wilson
28:04may have mental health issues?
28:05He's been diagnosed
28:06with several different
28:07bipolar,
28:09depression,
28:10anxiety,
28:11schizophrenia.
28:12He's been diagnosed
28:14with antisocial
28:15personality disorder,
28:17adjustment disorder.
28:18So I spoke
28:19to his mother and father,
28:22Mr. Steve
28:24and Miss Candy Wilson.
28:26They found that
28:26there was a dramatic change
28:28that occurred in puberty.
28:31And of course,
28:33that's when the diagnosis
28:34Wade was bipolar.
28:34I knew there was
28:36something wrong.
28:37We got medication
28:37for him.
28:38It was real good
28:39in the beginning
28:40to take it,
28:41but then as he got older
28:42and started feeling good,
28:43he didn't take it.
28:45There was no evidence
28:46of that diagnosis.
28:48There was no medical records
28:51or doctor reports
28:52of that diagnosis.
28:53She didn't ever testify
28:55in trial
28:56or give any of it
28:57that information in trial.
28:59So my ultimate conclusion
29:01is that
29:03Mr. Wilson
29:04has neurocognitive
29:07brain impairment.
29:08His brain
29:10is not functioning
29:11like a
29:12normal,
29:13healthy individual.
29:15I don't have any
29:16further questions.
29:16Thank you, doc.
29:18People
29:20are like wondering
29:21why there's any sympathy
29:22for him
29:23and stuff like that.
29:24I think it is due to
29:25he had a very
29:26troubled childhood.
29:27To me,
29:27it would seem more
29:28like a mental breakdown,
29:29like a psychotic break.
29:31Untreated mental illness
29:32mixed with substances.
29:35Good afternoon,
29:36Dr. Eisenstein.
29:38He had
29:40experts
29:41that
29:42essentially,
29:43in my view,
29:44made a lot of stuff up.
29:45So that was my goal,
29:46was just to
29:47expose these doctors.
29:49Now,
29:50you have testified
29:51over 150 times
29:53in capital cases?
29:54Correct.
29:54And always
29:56for the defense?
29:57Correct.
29:58And in almost
29:59every single one
30:00of these cases
30:01you testify in,
30:02you diagnose them
30:03with some sort
30:03of prefrontal cortex damage
30:05or some sort
30:06of brain damage,
30:07correct?
30:07Correct.
30:08And that's your
30:08brain diagnosis
30:09in this case?
30:10Correct.
30:11I always worry
30:12that 12 people
30:13that don't have
30:15maybe the experience
30:16might buy into
30:19some of it.
30:20Are they going
30:21to find them credible?
30:22Are they going
30:22to buy into
30:24their diagnoses
30:25and their testing?
30:26The defense
30:27was trying to
30:28explain,
30:31I think,
30:32his mental status
30:34that really,
30:35I don't think,
30:36had any proof
30:37to it?
30:38This is a point
30:40of the trial
30:41where we make
30:42that big ask.
30:45The point
30:46where we ask
30:47for your recommendation
30:48of death
30:49in this case.
30:50you saw the body
30:52of the defendant
30:53and how he was
30:53acting after
30:54the murders.
30:55Sir,
30:55I didn't
30:56do it.
30:57You heard
30:58his dad
30:58testify
30:59about how
31:00the defendant
31:01killed Christine
31:02Melton and Diane Ruiz.
31:03He said,
31:03I'm a killer.
31:04And you heard the
31:05defendant's statement
31:06to law enforcement
31:07confessing to the
31:08murders.
31:08I guess you know
31:09what comes across
31:09my mind is murder,
31:10just murder,
31:11murder,
31:11just kill,
31:12kill,
31:13kill.
31:13It's not credible
31:14that mental illness
31:16caused the defendant
31:16to murder Christine
31:18Melton and Diane Ruiz.
31:19He was under the
31:20influence of power,
31:22of lust,
31:23of control,
31:24of hate.
31:25He showed
31:26utter disregard
31:27for women
31:28and for life.
31:29We ask
31:30that you make
31:31that hard decision
31:32that you recommend
31:34the ultimate punishment
31:36for the ultimate crime.
31:41Thank you,
31:42Your Honor.
31:43May it please
31:43the court,
31:43the counsel,
31:46we're asking you
31:47to vote
31:48to save
31:50Mr. Wilson's life.
31:51There's something
31:52wrong with his brain.
31:54It doesn't work
31:55like everybody
31:56else's does.
31:57That's Wade Wilson.
31:59in October.
32:03That's Wade Wilson now.
32:06Who in their right mind
32:08does that to themselves?
32:12He's not in his right mind
32:14all the time.
32:15And it's worse
32:17when you throw
32:18drugs on top of it.
32:21We can't bring
32:22these ladies back.
32:24There's nothing
32:25that you can do
32:26to fix that problem.
32:29But you can do
32:32the right thing
32:33here today.
32:36But Mr. Shirley,
32:38he didn't show
32:39either one of those women
32:40mercy
32:41on October 7th.
32:44That's because
32:45the monster
32:46that he was
32:46on October 7th
32:48was incapable
32:49of mercy.
32:50you are not
32:52that monster.
32:54You are capable
32:55of it
32:56and you need
32:57to exercise it
32:58on those few
32:59occasions you have
33:00in life
33:01when you have
33:02the power
33:03to do so.
33:08as his family
33:09we knew
33:10the happy
33:11and loving
33:12child
33:15we can't love
33:16him less
33:16because madness
33:17has taken him
33:18from us.
33:20Lock away
33:20the monster
33:21but show mercy
33:23to the boy
33:23inside
33:24who didn't
33:25choose this path.
33:27Know that boy
33:28is still in there
33:29somewhere
33:30and he is still
33:32loved.
33:33Lock away
33:34the monster.
33:50This has been
33:52five years
33:53of agony.
33:57There were nights
33:58that you wake up
34:00and see it.
34:01I think this will
34:02stick with me
34:02forever.
34:04I'm still waiting
34:05for her to walk
34:06through the door.
34:07This case began
34:08in 2019
34:11and in between there
34:12we had a number
34:13of hurricanes.
34:13The rain,
34:14the wind.
34:15We had,
34:16we actually had
34:17a pandemic.
34:22Took a little bit
34:23longer than expected.
34:24We're just thankful
34:25that we're able
34:26to get it done.
34:28Breaking right now
34:29the man convicted
34:29of killing
34:30two Cape Coral women
34:31learns his fate.
34:32He's just one
34:33decision away
34:34from death.
34:36Let's go,
34:37let's go.
34:39I remember
34:39live streaming
34:40that
34:41and he can't
34:42stop moving
34:43and fidgeting
34:44and wiggling
34:45and he knows
34:46it's about
34:46to be bad
34:47for him.
34:47He's trying
34:48his best
34:48to just have
34:49this smirk
34:50and this smug
34:51I don't care
34:52look on his face.
34:54He said
34:54that the death penalty
34:55won't even be a thing
34:56by the time
34:56that he actually
34:57gets done for
34:58is what he said.
34:59The jury was out
35:00about an hour 45.
35:02Florida does not
35:03require a unanimous
35:04vote on the death
35:05penalty anymore.
35:06It's 8-4 is required
35:07under current law.
35:09It started out
35:10very silent.
35:12Each time
35:13we had to vote
35:14and then we looked
35:14through pictures
35:15and then we'd
35:16start talking
35:17and there's
35:18a lot for the victims.
35:20My understanding
35:21is that the jury
35:22has reached a verdict.
35:23Are we ready to proceed?
35:24Yes, sir.
35:25Yes, sir.
35:26Okay.
35:27They fit him
35:28with a stun belt
35:29so if he acts up
35:30immediately
35:31he'll be shocked
35:32because you don't
35:34want a dangerous
35:35person like this
35:36to decide
35:36he's got nothing
35:37to lose
35:37and it's time
35:38to take out
35:39his lawyer
35:40or a bailiff
35:42or even try
35:43to make an attack
35:44on the judge.
35:47State of Florida
35:48versus Wade Wilson
35:50case number
35:5219 CF
35:535-6-8
35:56We the jury
35:58finds as follows
35:59as to the defendant
36:00Wade Wilson
36:01in this case
36:02as to count one
36:04first degree murder
36:06Christine Milton
36:07We the jury
36:08find by a vote
36:10of 9-3
36:11that Wade Wilson
36:12should be sentenced
36:14to death.
36:17We were looking
36:18for unanimity
36:19and we're kind of
36:19surprised that there
36:20were some people
36:21that obviously
36:22could not
36:23or did not
36:24recommend
36:24the death penalty.
36:26He needs to suffer
36:28the death penalty
36:29would be
36:30good for him
36:31but he would not
36:32suffer that long
36:34because he's young
36:35that's how I feel.
36:37As to count four
36:39first degree murder
36:40Diane Ruiz
36:41We the jury
36:43find by a vote
36:45of 10-2
36:46that Wade Wilson
36:47should be sentenced
36:48to death.
36:51I mean it was
36:52just an eruption.
36:53I hope that
36:57Wade Wilson
36:58rots in hell.
36:59This demonic piece
37:00of shit has been
37:01sent to death row.
37:02I can't imagine
37:03he would have been
37:04surprised.
37:04I think that
37:06again he liked
37:07attention
37:08good, bad
37:09it didn't matter
37:11he just wanted
37:11the attention.
37:12Thousands of women
37:13still supporting
37:14Wade Wilson.
37:15They think it's so wrong
37:16that he got the
37:16death penalty.
37:17That's just a great
37:18excuse to lust
37:20over someone
37:21who killed
37:22innocent women.
37:24And these women
37:25are still
37:26communicating with him
37:27and attracted to him.
37:29It still surprises
37:30me every time.
37:34Moments ago
37:35we saw justice served
37:38and this was
37:39the appropriate
37:40sentence
37:41for this evil
37:43monster.
37:45As a family
37:46we have all been
37:47really quiet.
37:48Wade supporters
37:49have not been quiet
37:50but we all know
37:50that the loudest ones
37:52are always the dumb
37:52ones anyways.
37:55My name is
37:56Felix Ruex.
37:57My father
37:58of Diane.
38:02I didn't get to
38:03say I love her
38:03and I miss her.
38:06I had never
38:07believed in the
38:08death penalty
38:08before this.
38:09The whole thing's
38:10tragic so
38:11it's hard to say
38:12good.
38:13it just
38:14may be a sense
38:16of relief
38:17for the family.
38:23I don't know
38:24if I could just
38:27I felt
38:29I felt
38:29good
38:30for Christine
38:33and Diane's
38:35family
38:35that they were
38:37able
38:37to get that.
38:45even a monster
38:46like Wade
38:46Wilson
38:47was able
38:48to get
38:48two
38:48and three
38:49jurors
38:49to say
38:50he doesn't
38:51deserve
38:51the ultimate
38:51penalty.
38:52It used
38:52to be
38:52unanimous.
38:53They lowered
38:54it 8 to 4.
38:55No other
38:55state in the
38:55country has
38:56it that low.
38:58And so
38:59the next
38:59thing that
38:59will happen
39:00is that
39:01Wade Wilson
39:02and his
39:03lawyers
39:03will appeal
39:04the death
39:05verdict
39:06saying that
39:06Florida's
39:07death penalty
39:08statute
39:08is
39:08unconstitutional.
39:10Hi everyone
39:11this is Wade
39:13for too long
39:14I have remained
39:16silent
39:17hoping that
39:18the justice
39:19system
39:19would uncover
39:20the truth
39:20on its own.
39:22I ask you
39:24to continue
39:24fighting
39:25for my
39:26exoneration.
39:28Mr. Wilson
39:29is currently
39:29sitting on death
39:30row in the
39:31Department of
39:31Corrections.
39:34His request
39:35was he wanted
39:35to get to
39:36death row
39:36as soon as
39:37possible
39:37to get
39:38shipped out.
39:39You know
39:39being on
39:40death row
39:42you know
39:42isolated
39:44I think a
39:45part of him
39:46really knows
39:47that he has
39:48to have that
39:49because with
39:50everything he's
39:52put all over
39:52himself and
39:53with the
39:54things he's
39:54done and
39:56some of his
39:56life choices
39:57he knows he
39:59can't freely
40:00walk a
40:00prison yard.
40:02You see
40:02photos of
40:03him his
40:03teeth are
40:04falling out
40:04he's losing
40:05his health
40:05he's gaining
40:06rapid amount
40:07of weight
40:08from his
40:08unhealthy diet
40:09from all
40:11of the money
40:11he's raised
40:12and is spending
40:13on candy
40:14and honey
40:15buns
40:16and chips.
40:18He believes
40:19there is
40:19poison chemicals
40:21being pumped
40:21into his
40:22vents by
40:23God knows
40:24who
40:24to take
40:25him out.
40:26They're probably
40:27going to make
40:27another attempt
40:28on my life
40:29like in the
40:29jail
40:29like it's
40:29already happened
40:30before.
40:30They were
40:31pushing chemicals
40:32out of my
40:32van.
40:32Oh my gosh
40:34he's lost it.
40:35What we hear
40:36and what we see
40:37and read
40:37in these
40:37disciplinary
40:38reports
40:38it seems
40:38like that
40:39is what
40:39is happening
40:40to him.
40:40He's losing
40:41his mind.
40:42It's been
40:43reported
40:43that he's
40:43assaulted
40:44his cellmates
40:45in more ways
40:47than one.
40:48He can still
40:48get drugs
40:49and he does
40:49get drugs
40:49so he's
40:50actively
40:50using
40:50things like
40:51K2
40:52meth
40:54bath salts
40:55anything he
40:56can get
40:56his hands
40:56on.
40:57It's like
40:57what is
40:57going on
40:58in there
40:58with this
40:58guy.
40:59He tried
40:59to mail
41:00this
41:00autographed
41:01hand-made
41:02drawing
41:02to someone
41:03he called
41:04Sweet Cheeks.
41:05Wilson wanted
41:06Sweet Cheeks
41:07to post the
41:08drawing on a
41:0824-hour auction
41:10site and sell
41:11them to the
41:11highest bidder.
41:12Wilson wrote
41:13Due to my
41:14fame, this
41:15should sell
41:15quick and
41:16rake in
41:17the money.
41:18Thank you
41:19for believing
41:19in me and
41:21for your
41:21unwavering
41:22commitment to
41:23the truth.
41:23My voice
41:24was drowned
41:26out by the
41:27overwhelming
41:28pressure to
41:29find a
41:29scapegoat.
41:31Your support
41:32gives me so
41:33much hope to
41:34endure knowing
41:35that one day
41:36the truth
41:38will set me
41:39free.
41:40I love you
41:41all.
41:44He's a
41:44shell of
41:45his former
41:45self.
41:46A lot of
41:46people saw
41:47these photos
41:47and I think
41:48that really
41:49turned the
41:49knob down
41:50to zero
41:50for a lot
41:51of people.
41:53There's no
41:54more support
41:54for Wade
41:55there.
41:56There's no
41:56more money
41:57for Wade
41:57there.
41:58It's done
41:58for him.
42:00You know,
42:00that's something
42:01I'll have to
42:01live with the
42:02rest of my
42:02life,
42:03thinking about
42:03my child
42:08possibly getting
42:09executed.
42:11Ultimately,
42:12at the end
42:12of the day,
42:13if you know
42:13that you've
42:13done
42:14everything
42:14in your
42:15power for
42:16that child
42:16and they
42:18still choose
42:18to make
42:19certain choices,
42:21you know,
42:21it hurts,
42:22you know,
42:23you can't,
42:25you wish you
42:26could fix it,
42:28but you
42:29have to do
42:30what's right
42:31and you have
42:31to think about
42:31other people
42:32and their
42:34suffering.
42:36and it's hard
42:37when it's
42:37at the hands
42:38of a life
42:40you created.
42:41You know,
42:42it's hard.
42:43I did burn
42:43all of his
42:44letters and
42:45the rest of
42:45his clothes
42:46that I had
42:46after that.
42:48I'm just
42:48trying to live
42:49my life
42:49and the
42:52internet's
42:52not allowing
42:53it.
42:53Calling me,
42:54you know,
42:54fat,
42:54ugly liar
42:55and that
42:56Wade's with
42:56me now.
42:58I have an
42:59ice cream shop.
42:59People that
43:00would come
43:00through the
43:01mall and
43:01just have
43:02their kids
43:02come up and
43:03get ice cream,
43:03they now don't
43:04have them do
43:05that because
43:05of who I am
43:06or because of
43:07who Wade was
43:07or who I am
43:08on social media.
43:10After the
43:10trial,
43:11you know,
43:11I really
43:12fell off
43:13the deep
43:13end.
43:14I got
43:15very suicidal.
43:17I started
43:18getting all
43:19these death
43:20threats that
43:21I had
43:21testified
43:22against him.
43:23He had
43:24that conspiracy
43:24theory that
43:26he was set
43:27up for the
43:27crimes where
43:28I collected
43:29his DNA and
43:30put them on
43:31the victims
43:32via condom
43:33and a lot
43:34of people
43:34believed that
43:35for a long
43:35time.
43:36Y'all got
43:37a message
43:38from Mila
43:39and her
43:41spa has
43:42been burnt
43:42down.
43:43I feel so
43:44bad for this
43:44girl that
43:45she just
43:45can't catch
43:46a fucking
43:47break.
43:48I thought
43:48at first
43:49that definitely
43:50one of the
43:51haters from
43:52the trial
43:53or one of
43:53the Wade
43:54wives and
43:55people laughing
43:56saying karma
43:57because they
43:58still believe
43:58in Wade's
43:59story.
44:01We came
44:02to find out
44:02that it was
44:03just a freak
44:04accident with
44:05the fire.
44:07I'm trying
44:08to make
44:08sense of
44:09something that
44:10can't be
44:10made sense
44:11out of.
44:11It's
44:12unbelievable
44:12to know
44:13that somebody
44:14that you
44:15love,
44:16that you
44:16spent a lot
44:17of time
44:17with,
44:17just killed
44:18two women,
44:19two innocent
44:20women.
44:21I say
44:22it was
44:23all alone
44:25Grab your
44:26love
44:27and
44:27dance
44:28alone
44:29I want
44:31to fight

44:32in the
44:33love
44:42and I
44:43will be
44:44there
44:44at the
44:44execution.
44:45That's a
44:46promise.
