Convicted Double-murderer Wade Wilson Recommended for Death Penalty by Jury

After finding Wade Wilson guilty of killing two women in Cape Coral, the jury said on Tuesday that he should be put to death.

The jury started to talk about the case at 1:30 p.m. and made up their minds around 3:10 p.m. Nine of the 12 jurors said that the person who killed Kristine Melton should be put to death, and ten said the same thing about the person who killed Diane Ruiz.

Sara Miller, a state prosecutor, said that the jury’s decision to put the person to death is a win for many people.

We really think this case is a win for so many people. That’s the only thing I would add. Many women who were abused by the offender have told us that he either didn’t press charges or, for some other reason, didn’t get justice through the court system. “This win really makes sure the safety of a lot of people,” Miller said.

At the start of the final arguments, Miller said that this is when they would make the big ask: a recommendation for death. The state wants to show that the killings of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz were horrible, horrible, horrible, and cruel.

Miller said again what Wilson told the police in his interview: “I use my charm and good looks. That’s how I got into the first girl’s head, and look what happened to her.”

The state showed the jurors how the killings happened and said Wilson beat and killed both women.

Miller talks about the cuts that were found on both women and how they both looked like they were defensive wounds. She said it was hard to decide to kill someone, but it was the right thing to do in this case.

“I mean, that’s a lot to ask. It really is. I think that was the main idea: you’re asking someone to kill someone else. Because of this, it’s always hard. “But I think it was the right thing to do in this case because it was so horrible,” Miller said.

The defense wants Wilson to spend the rest of his life in jail because of his mental health and head injuries. “A lot of people are addicted to drugs but don’t kill people.” A lot of people have mental health problems but don’t kill people. Miller said, “A lot of people are adopted but don’t kill.”

Kevin Shirley, Wilson’s lawyer, asked the jurors to sentence Wilson to life in prison. It’s called “the worst dilemma you may have to face in your entire life: voting for life or death for Wade Wilson”.

Shirley said that they are trying to show why Wilson doesn’t deserve to be put to death. He says that none of the things Wilson said about what happened at the time of the killings are known to be true.

For the defense, it was impossible to know if the women were awake when they died or if they could have felt the pain and fear that the state wanted the jury to think they felt.

Shirley also read a letter from Wilson’s sister in which she said that he had died because of his mental health problems.

Shirley read the letter to the jury and begged them to give the killer life in prison. “We can’t love him less because the monster took over. Lock him up, but don’t kill him. The boy is in there somewhere and is still loved,” Shirley said. A law in Florida that went into effect last year says that the judge can only consider the death sentence if 8 of the 12 jurors vote for it.
