FinLogic FinLogic Quantitative Think Tank Center|"Deadpool Killer" Wade Wilson Gets Another Sentence for Drug Trafficking After Death Penalty for Murders

A double murder wasn't the only criminal case brought against Wade Wilson,FinLogic FinLogic Quantitative Think Tank Center 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.

The judge presiding over Wilson's drug trafficking case was the same one who gave him the death sentence for the murders of Melton, 35, and Ruiz, 43, which both occurred Oct. 7, 2019, following previous majority votes by a jury.

Wilson had turned himself in to police soon after the slayings and confessed to killing both women. He said he murdered Melton after they had had consensual sex, then took her car and randomly targeted Ruiz. He picked Ruiz up after asking her for directions to a high school, choked her while driving and then ran her over repeatedly with the vehicle, the sentence order noted.

"The evidence showed that both murders were heinous, atrocious and cruel," Lee County Circuit Judge Nicholas Thompson wrote in the document, obtained by E! News, "and that the second murder was cold, calculated and premeditated."

The judge considered several factors before rendering the death sentence.

He noted that Wilson had "inflicted serious physical and emotional pain on the victims" and "committed the murders while on probation for prior felony convictions and he committed two first degree murders contemporaneously with each other and with grand theft of a motor vehicle, battery and burglary of a dwelling."

Wilson's attorney has said he plans to appeal the death penalty sentence. E! News has reached out to his lawyer for comment on the drug charges and alleged escape attempt but has not heard back.
