“Deadpool Killer” Gets Drug Sentence After Death Penalty for 2 Murders
A double murder wasn’t the only criminal case brought against Wade Wilson, dubbed the “Deadpool Killer,” in recent years.
The 30-year-old—who shares his name with a Marvel character—was back in a Florida court Aug. 29, where he pleaded no contest to smuggling drugs in jail last year while awaiting his sentencing after being convicted of the 2019 first-degree murders of Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43. He was given the death penalty Aug. 27 for both killings.
After accepting the plea deal in response to 2023 felony charges of attempted trafficking in amphetamine or methamphetamine, 28 grams to 200 grams, and conspiracy to traffic amphetamine or methamphetamine, Wilson was sentenced to 12 years in prison for each count and given a $50,000 state fine, according to court records obtained by E! News.
His prison sentences are to be served concurrently with his two death penalties. Also as a part of the plea agreement, pending charges stemming from an alleged prison escape attempt by Wilson in 2010 has been dropped, according to local NBC affiliate NBC2, citing the Florida State Attorney’s Office.
