Speaker 1: Hi, guys, Welcome to an episode of Legally Brunette. I
0:05
Speaker 1: will be your host today, Emily Simpson with my my sidekick, Shane.
0:10
Speaker 2: Shane, I'm the main kick.
0:11
Speaker 1: You're the main kick. You are the main kick. Today
0:15
Speaker 1: we are going to talk about There is a new
0:17
Speaker 1: documentary I believe it's on Paramount Plus if you've had
0:20
Speaker 1: the opportunity to watch it. It is called A Handsome Devil,
0:23
Speaker 1: Charming Killer. It is the story of Wade Wilson. I
0:28
Speaker 1: will tell you I didn't know anything about this case.
0:32
Speaker 1: I only was familiar with seeing images of him. That's it.
0:39
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I only knew what he looked like.
0:44
Speaker 1: I didn't know, I knew nothing. I didn't know any
0:46
Speaker 1: facts of the case. I didn't know anything about it.
0:49
Speaker 2: I didn't know a thing for killers.
0:51
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have a thing for Wade Wilson.
0:54
Speaker 1: A lot of women do, so we'll get into that.
0:56
Speaker 1: But so let's go into this. I actually, once I
1:00
Speaker 1: started watching it, I was like, I mean, it's it's
1:02
Speaker 1: an interesting case. So Wade Stephen Wilson is a Florida resident,
1:08
Speaker 1: and he drew national attention after being linked to two
1:10
Speaker 1: killings that occurred on the same day in October of
1:13
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Often referred to in the media as the
1:17
Speaker 1: Deadpool Killer because he shares a name with a fictional character.
1:21
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Did you know that that Wade
1:23
Speaker 1: Wilson was the dead was the name of the Deadpool Guy.
1:26
Speaker 3: No.
1:27
Speaker 1: Wilson was convicted in the deaths of Christine Melton, who
1:30
Speaker 1: was thirty five, and Diane Ruiz, who was forty three.
1:33
Speaker 1: The two cases unfolded in rapid succession and deeply unsettled
1:38
Speaker 1: the Fort Myers community, later becoming the focus of widespread
1:42
Speaker 1: international coverage, which is Florida.
1:45
Speaker 2: Oh Florida, Yeah, Florida, Ohio.
1:48
Speaker 1: It's always Florida or Ohio. Investigators say Wilson first killed Melton,
1:54
Speaker 1: then later that same day he killed Ruiz. During questioning
1:58
Speaker 1: and court proceedings, Wilson reportedly alarming statements about the killings.
2:02
Speaker 1: Then in June of twenty twenty four, a jury in
2:04
Speaker 1: Lee County gave him an official sentence. On January twentieth,
2:09
Speaker 1: so this was recently, Paramount Plus released a documentary examining
2:12
Speaker 1: his background and crimes, titled Handsome Devil, Charming Killer. All Right,
2:17
Speaker 1: Let's Go a little bit into who is Wade Wilson.
2:20
Speaker 1: It's interesting sometimes to me how when we do podcasts
2:23
Speaker 1: and we do episodes, sometimes they tie into each other
2:27
Speaker 1: and it wasn't even intentional. And we talked about this
2:31
Speaker 1: was a couple episodes ago. If you guys haven't listened
2:33
Speaker 1: to it, it's the Parkland shooting and we had a
2:35
Speaker 1: judge Liz On.
2:37
Speaker 2: It was the judge presiding over the Parkland shooting.
2:40
Speaker 1: Case, right, and it was very interesting. If you haven't
2:42
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to listen to that episode, it's really
2:44
Speaker 1: interesting to listen to a judge who presided over a
2:49
Speaker 1: school shooting case.
2:50
Speaker 2: A death penalty case.
2:51
Speaker 1: It was a death penalty case. I believe fifteen people
2:55
Speaker 1: perished during that I mean, it was tragic and horrible
2:58
Speaker 1: and to listen to her speak about it from her
3:00
Speaker 1: viewpoint is very very interesting. But because of the Parkland case,
3:05
Speaker 1: Florida changed the death penalty law because of that case.
3:10
Speaker 2: What was it before you had to.
3:11
Speaker 1: Have unanimous jurors agreed agree on the sentencing being death right.
3:16
Speaker 1: And then when the Parkland case, when it came to sentencing,
3:20
Speaker 1: there were a couple jurors that held out on him
3:22
Speaker 1: getting the death penalty, and he ended up not getting
3:25
Speaker 1: the death penalty, and the Florida residence or community was outraged.
3:31
Speaker 1: So we'll get more into that because that leads into
3:34
Speaker 1: Wade Wilson and his sentencing. So Wade was born in
3:36
Speaker 1: Florida in nineteen ninety four to teenage parents ages fourteen
3:41
Speaker 1: and fifteen. That is young fourteen and fifteen to have
3:45
Speaker 1: a child.
3:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Wade.
3:49
Speaker 1: Was adopted soon after birth by Cindy and Steve Wilson
3:53
Speaker 1: of Cape Coral. According to news Press, so far it's.
3:57
Speaker 3: Like started off bad scenario, right, yeah, parents.
4:02
Speaker 2: Well and also parents, no, you're right?
4:04
Speaker 1: Yeah?
4:04
Speaker 2: And then did you say adopted?
4:06
Speaker 1: Adopted?
4:07
Speaker 3: So now opportunity right comes in to save him from
4:12
Speaker 3: what could be a difficult upbringing. And you know, the
4:16
Speaker 3: adopted parents love him and want him and care for him.
4:20
Speaker 3: They go through all those hoops and hurdles to get
4:23
Speaker 3: to him and then death penalty.
4:27
Speaker 1: Reports indicate he experienced behavioral challenges early in life, including
4:31
Speaker 1: repeated school suspensions tied to aggressive conduct and class These
4:37
Speaker 1: struggles reportedly continued into adulthood. Court filings and witness testimony
4:41
Speaker 1: show Wilson moved through cycles of therapy, substance abuse treatment,
4:45
Speaker 1: and brief periods of relative stability, and by his early twenties,
4:49
Speaker 1: he had accumulated a significant criminal record with arrests involving
4:54
Speaker 1: allegations such as domestic violence, sexual battery, drug offenses, and
4:59
Speaker 1: other charge So his adoptive parents wrote a letter to
5:03
Speaker 1: the court asking for him to not get the death penalty.
5:07
Speaker 1: They wanted to keep him alive. Obviously, this is their child,
5:10
Speaker 1: so that's what they're asking for. He has sisters. I
5:13
Speaker 1: do not know if the sisters are adopted as well
5:16
Speaker 1: or else, or if they're biological to the parents. I
5:19
Speaker 1: do not know that. But his mother talks about his
5:22
Speaker 1: adoptive mother talks about how his behavior really changed after
5:27
Speaker 1: he was told that he was adopted. Oh yeah, so
5:30
Speaker 1: I think from her viewpoint, or from what she says,
5:33
Speaker 1: is that he was a well adjusted, happy kid, didn't
5:37
Speaker 1: get in trouble, did well in school, you know, good looking, athletic,
5:41
Speaker 1: all the things, popular, no face tattoos, popular, all the things.
5:46
Speaker 1: And then once he found out that he was adopted something.
5:51
Speaker 3: I wonder what the story is with how they told
5:53
Speaker 3: him you know that, you know, and he took a
5:55
Speaker 3: turn right.
5:56
Speaker 1: Well, that's what they That's when they say the story.
5:59
Speaker 1: That's when they say the behavior you'r the drugs, the alcohol,
6:01
Speaker 1: the violence, that are getting in trouble, getting.
6:04
Speaker 3: Suspended processing and he probably well obviously he wasn't processing,
6:07
Speaker 3: but I mean he had difficulty.
6:08
Speaker 1: Well, I would say the first thing that goes through
6:11
Speaker 1: your mind is when you find out something like that
6:13
Speaker 1: is it's it's abandonment, and that's very difficult, probably as
6:17
Speaker 1: a young child to deal with. And I don't know
6:19
Speaker 1: what happened. I don't know.
6:20
Speaker 3: It's weird because I've thought about that too, and I
6:22
Speaker 3: can't I've never been in those shoes, so I don't know.
6:25
Speaker 3: But what comes to mind is it's abandonment. But then
6:27
Speaker 3: you also have two parents that went through a lot
6:29
Speaker 3: to get.
6:30
Speaker 1: You right, you know, yeah, you know, I I don't know.
6:34
Speaker 2: And then maybe that part's kind of forgotten.
6:36
Speaker 1: Well I don't know if if if they told him
6:39
Speaker 1: and also offered therapy at the same time. I don't
6:42
Speaker 1: want to judge these parents. I don't know enough about them,
6:44
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Maybe he needed therapy along with
6:47
Speaker 1: learning about that, and also it's got to be shocking
6:50
Speaker 1: to learn maybe older at old old time high school.
6:53
Speaker 1: I believe around high school.
6:54
Speaker 3: Ag See, Axel Rose learned his stepfather wasn't his biological
6:58
Speaker 3: father when he was seventeen, and then he ran away
7:01
Speaker 3: and started gums roses and wrote Welcome.
7:03
Speaker 2: To the Jungle.
7:03
Speaker 1: Yeah.
7:04
Speaker 2: So you're saying this guy went killed two people.
7:06
Speaker 1: You're saying that there's anger and abandon but you need
7:10
Speaker 1: to take that and take it and use it for
7:13
Speaker 1: good instead of for evil. Like you can take that anger.
7:16
Speaker 1: It's okay to have the anger, but go out into
7:18
Speaker 1: the world and do something good.
7:20
Speaker 2: With it, right, right, Like write a rock album.
7:23
Speaker 1: Right. I love that Shane is the all knowing of
7:26
Speaker 1: Axel Rose.
7:27
Speaker 2: I find him to be a character you do.
7:29
Speaker 1: Following his arrest for the murders, were about to discuss
7:32
Speaker 1: Wilson's adoptive parents submitted a letter to the court that
7:35
Speaker 1: was read aloud during a sentencing. In the letter, they
7:38
Speaker 1: reflected on his early years, writing quote, Wade was a
7:42
Speaker 1: joyful child, loved his parents and sisters, and was loved
7:45
Speaker 1: immensely in return. They added that as he grew older, quote,
7:49
Speaker 1: Wade began to slip away from us, becoming withdrawn, erratic,
7:53
Speaker 1: and depressed. At first, then his addiction was added to
7:57
Speaker 1: mental illness, and he became frankly paranoid and delusional, and
8:00
Speaker 1: a sense of loss became increasingly sharp end quote, so
8:04
Speaker 1: that you can tell from their viewpoint, there was a
8:06
Speaker 1: drastic decline. He went from one thing to another. Also,
8:10
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how this happened, but he did end
8:13
Speaker 1: up having somewhat of a sporadic relationship with his biological father,
8:17
Speaker 1: and I don't know if that helped or hindered him,
8:21
Speaker 1: maybe talking to his dad occasionally and not having a
8:26
Speaker 1: full blown relationship with him. But we'll talk about the
8:28
Speaker 1: dad a little bit because he's key to the criminal activity.
8:40
Speaker 1: So on October sixth of twenty nineteen, this is the
8:42
Speaker 1: day of the murders that took place in Fort Myers, Florida,
8:45
Speaker 1: in the early morning hours. He was with Christine Melton
8:48
Speaker 1: and Christine Meltin was thirty five. So Wade had met
8:53
Speaker 1: Christine Melton at a bar. It was called the Buddha Bar,
8:55
Speaker 1: and this isn't Fort Myers. The two later went to
9:00
Speaker 1: Melton's home. First they went to like she was with
9:02
Speaker 1: a friend at a bar. So you have Christine Milton
9:04
Speaker 1: with a friend at a bar.
9:06
Speaker 2: And they had no prior interactions.
9:07
Speaker 1: No, they didn't know each other. She meets this guy,
9:11
Speaker 1: Wade Wilson at the bar. The two friends I think
9:14
Speaker 1: someone else and Wade Wilson leave that night and they
9:17
Speaker 1: go to a friend's house. Then after they go to
9:19
Speaker 1: the friend's house, they go to Christine's house. Her friend
9:23
Speaker 1: I don't remember her name, but I know that she
9:24
Speaker 1: testified at trial, was there with them, and then she left,
9:30
Speaker 1: leaving Christine Milton and Wade Wilson together alone. I'm sure
9:35
Speaker 1: this friend probably has the worst guilt ever, or maybe
9:40
Speaker 1: it's guilt mixed with like relief that she didn't stay
9:45
Speaker 1: as well, guilt survivor's guilt, and then some form of relief.
9:49
Speaker 1: But can you imagine, I mean, I can't imagine. I'm
9:52
Speaker 1: just like with one of and they were best friends.
9:54
Speaker 1: I believe they were cousins, cousins and best friends. You
9:56
Speaker 1: go out, you have a fun night at the Buddha bar,
9:58
Speaker 1: you're out late, you go home. You take this guy.
10:00
Speaker 1: She probably thinks he's you know, she's you know, bagged
10:04
Speaker 1: this really handsome, good looking, charming guy. He's a good
10:08
Speaker 1: looking guy. He is. I got to give him that
10:11
Speaker 1: he is, and then she leaves her alone with them,
10:16
Speaker 1: and then to find out the next day that you
10:18
Speaker 1: know that she's dead.
10:21
Speaker 2: What was the matter of murder?
10:24
Speaker 1: He strangled her? So after they go back to Christine
10:27
Speaker 1: Melton's home, the best friend left and Wilson and Melton
10:30
Speaker 1: were left alone. They had sex and then Wilson strangled
10:34
Speaker 1: her to death. I believe he strangled her to death
10:36
Speaker 1: while she was sleeping, and then he wrapped her up
10:39
Speaker 1: in blankets and I had her all wrapped up and
10:41
Speaker 1: like put her in a hallway. I've seen images of
10:46
Speaker 1: the crime scene and it's just a body wrapped up
10:48
Speaker 1: in all kinds of blankets and like shoved in a hallway.
10:51
Speaker 1: I think her cat was sitting next to her when
10:55
Speaker 1: they found her. After the killing, he left the scene
10:58
Speaker 1: and also stole her car. Her body was discovered inside
11:03
Speaker 1: her home wrapped up in sheets and were tied together
11:05
Speaker 1: with her clothing, and her cat was found sitting next
11:08
Speaker 1: to her side. After he steals Christine Meltain's vehicle, he
11:12
Speaker 1: goes to his girlfriend's place of business. She owns a spa.
11:16
Speaker 1: It's called like Spa by Mila or something, and he
11:19
Speaker 1: assaults her. I mean like I think, beats her up
11:21
Speaker 1: in the parking lot, and then he's still in this
11:24
Speaker 1: stolen vehicle, and she calls the police. I believe maybe
11:27
Speaker 1: other people in the and the you know, shopping center
11:31
Speaker 1: called the police. So now the police are looking for
11:33
Speaker 1: this guy. And then they end up pulling him over
11:37
Speaker 1: or and a cop asked him to get out of
11:38
Speaker 1: the car. He won't get out of the car. I
11:40
Speaker 1: don't know. It's just like a big he just out
11:44
Speaker 1: on a rampage. So just hours after the first murder
11:47
Speaker 1: when we were talking about Christine Meltin, he's driving in
11:51
Speaker 1: the solen car of the girl he just murdered, and
11:53
Speaker 1: he encounters Diane Ruiz and she's walking, just walking alongside
11:57
Speaker 1: the road. She's going to work, and she is a
12:00
Speaker 1: engaged so she has a fiance at home. He reportedly
12:04
Speaker 1: convinced her to get into his stolen car under false pretenses,
12:08
Speaker 1: asking for directions to a nearby high school. I don't
12:12
Speaker 1: know how much of the story I believe his story
12:15
Speaker 1: is when when I've heard, when I've heard testimony him
12:20
Speaker 1: talking about what he did, he says that he got
12:25
Speaker 1: her into the car and that they had consensual sex
12:28
Speaker 1: in the car and then he ended up strangling her
12:31
Speaker 1: in the car and throwing her out of the car.
12:33
Speaker 1: They don't really ever touch on that and the trial
12:36
Speaker 1: and anything I've seen. I don't know if it's out
12:39
Speaker 1: of respect for the fact.
12:40
Speaker 3: That quickly she just jumped in a car, and I
12:43
Speaker 3: don't know.
12:44
Speaker 1: If he's boasting and trying to make it like at
12:48
Speaker 1: the end of the day she gets in the car.
12:52
Speaker 1: His story is that, you know, he used his charm
12:55
Speaker 1: because he's so charming, He uses charm and good looks
12:57
Speaker 1: to get her into the car, and then they had
12:59
Speaker 1: consensuals sex and then he strangled her and then he
13:01
Speaker 1: threw her out of the car, and then he runs
13:04
Speaker 1: over her between ten to twenty times and then obviously
13:09
Speaker 1: she's dead at that point. Then he abandons her body
13:12
Speaker 1: in a field. And Lee County.
13:14
Speaker 2: How did they tie him to this murder?
13:17
Speaker 1: I think they're looking for him because the girlfriend, he
13:20
Speaker 1: actually has a girlfriend, Miela, called the police and reported
13:26
Speaker 1: the assault, and so the police are actually looking for.
13:30
Speaker 2: Him in this vehicle, right, Okay, but.
13:33
Speaker 1: Then he calls so then he's hiding, right because he's
13:36
Speaker 1: in a stolen vehicle, So he's hiding he's just killed
13:39
Speaker 1: two people within a twenty four hour period. He's in
13:42
Speaker 1: a stolen vehicle, so I believe he's hiding in like
13:44
Speaker 1: an abandoned house or something. And he calls his dad,
13:49
Speaker 1: his biological dad, not his adopted dad, his biological dad,
13:52
Speaker 1: and he tells him, He tells him that he killed
13:56
Speaker 1: two women, and he basically tells him like he's excited.
14:00
Speaker 1: And I think at first the dad doesn't really believe him.
14:02
Speaker 1: He thinks he's like on drugs. Well he is on drugs,
14:04
Speaker 1: but he thinks that maybe he's just you know, I
14:08
Speaker 1: don't know, hallucinating out of his mind making.
14:10
Speaker 2: Something might also be hard to accept. Your kid calls
14:12
Speaker 2: you and says they killed two people right your home.
14:14
Speaker 2: The way he's telling it, you're like, what right?
14:17
Speaker 3: Because if he probably called and was breaking down and
14:19
Speaker 3: confessing and saying it was horrific and he didn't mean
14:22
Speaker 3: to it would probably be very believable right front. But
14:24
Speaker 3: if he's calling boasting about it, laughing about it, or
14:27
Speaker 3: or thinking he's some macho guy that killed people or whatever,
14:31
Speaker 3: then maybe the father is like what, like yeah, like
14:34
Speaker 3: are you just messing with me or what?
14:35
Speaker 1: So the dad actually testifies against him in court, and
14:38
Speaker 1: from what I recall about his testimony, I think he
14:40
Speaker 1: says something to the effect of, at first he just
14:42
Speaker 1: he didn't believe him at first, but then when the
14:45
Speaker 1: more he listened to him, and the more he was
14:47
Speaker 1: giving details about these two different murders and running her over,
14:51
Speaker 1: and I mean, and the way he was talking about it,
14:53
Speaker 1: like he was bragging, like he was sharing something with
14:56
Speaker 1: him that like he was excited about. Then the dad
14:59
Speaker 1: actually did the thing good and he called the police
15:04
Speaker 1: and reported him. And then he was actually pretty smart.
15:07
Speaker 1: He asked his son where he was because he said,
15:10
Speaker 1: let me send you an uber to the address. You know,
15:14
Speaker 1: I'll help you. And then when is when Wade gave
15:18
Speaker 1: him the address. Then he turned the address over to
15:20
Speaker 1: the police and said this is where he's located. And
15:23
Speaker 1: then they arrested him without incident. So that's how he
15:26
Speaker 1: was arrested.
15:27
Speaker 2: Good for him.
15:28
Speaker 3: You know, I'm guessing the second murder, they might have
15:31
Speaker 3: easily tied it together because of the car.
15:33
Speaker 2: They find a lady who's been run over.
15:36
Speaker 1: Well, and I think and I think he.
15:38
Speaker 4: Was just ym ragging about what Yeah, and then you're right,
15:41
Speaker 4: and then the father, saying yeah, so it was probably
15:43
Speaker 4: easy to put together.
15:44
Speaker 1: During police interviews, Wade also made disturbing remarks, including saying
15:48
Speaker 1: he would do it again. So he actually tells them
15:52
Speaker 1: what he did. I mean, no, he doesn't ask for
15:54
Speaker 1: an attorney. He doesn't. He just it's it's like he's
15:57
Speaker 1: proud of it. He asked for a burger and fries,
16:01
Speaker 1: and he said, I'll tell you anything you want to
16:02
Speaker 1: know if you get me a burger and fries. So
16:05
Speaker 1: got him.
16:06
Speaker 2: I'm a simple man.
16:06
Speaker 1: I'm a simple man. I just just give me some
16:08
Speaker 1: in and out. I'll tell you anything you want to know.
16:10
Speaker 2: Well, it's Florida's out.
16:11
Speaker 1: There's no there's no in and out in Florida.
16:13
Speaker 3: Huh No, Oh, only in California, Oregon, I think Washington,
16:18
Speaker 3: now Nevada, in Asona, Colorado, Utah, Texas, and then now Tennessee.
16:23
Speaker 1: Shane is just full full of facts today. He knows
16:27
Speaker 1: everything there is to know about in and out and
16:28
Speaker 1: Axel Rose Snyder.
16:29
Speaker 2: She's the owner of in and Out. What's her name,
16:31
Speaker 2: Lindsay Snyder.
16:32
Speaker 1: Lindsay Snyder. I think Shane goes in and out so
16:34
Speaker 1: much he's hoping to run into lindsay.
16:37
Speaker 4: She's a billion she's not our fourth marriage, no, thank you,
16:40
Speaker 4: she's not your tie. She has a billionaire's a billionaire?
16:44
Speaker 1: A billionaire? Yeah, you asked me if Wade is good looking.
16:47
Speaker 2: Yes, billionaire and that's a pretty good.
16:49
Speaker 1: Accounta right, that would be perfect for you.
16:53
Speaker 3: I need you to make a billion dollars, yes, and
16:56
Speaker 3: make me some burgers, okay.
16:57
Speaker 1: During his police interviews, not only did he admit to
17:00
Speaker 1: saying things like he would do it again, but also
17:03
Speaker 1: he admitted to running over Ruiz, that's who he picked
17:06
Speaker 1: up on the side of the road, saying that he
17:09
Speaker 1: ran over her until she looked like spaghetti. He also stated,
17:13
Speaker 1: in regards to Melton's death, that was the first girl
17:16
Speaker 1: that I choked her out until she couldn't breathe anymore.
17:19
Speaker 1: It came across my mind to murder. Just kill, kill, kill.
17:24
Speaker 3: So this is this is a person that will repeat
17:28
Speaker 3: the crime. Absolutely, he should be put away for that
17:30
Speaker 3: reason alone.
17:31
Speaker 1: So during the pre trial and legal proceedings. This is
17:34
Speaker 1: from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty three. Remember these murders
17:37
Speaker 1: took place in twenty nineteen. Also, here's another question we
17:41
Speaker 1: were talking about the other night he killed two women
17:44
Speaker 1: within a twenty four hour timeframe, does that make him
17:48
Speaker 1: a serial killer or not?
17:51
Speaker 3: So, yes, we talked about this because he asked me
17:53
Speaker 3: to like you asked me the same question, right, And
17:55
Speaker 3: I'm just saying I looked up and it said it
17:58
Speaker 3: kind of used to be three or more. Now two
18:00
Speaker 3: or more is considered serial It's not the motive so
18:04
Speaker 3: much as it is the pattern. If there's kind of
18:07
Speaker 3: a repeat pattern in the way of killing, that's a
18:12
Speaker 3: serial killer. And there has to be a cooling off
18:16
Speaker 3: period in between the killings. Otherwise it's a killing spree
18:20
Speaker 3: or something other. So like, if it's a pattern, like
18:24
Speaker 3: he picks up he finds women shopping in the produce
18:29
Speaker 3: section and they are certain height and weight and you know,
18:34
Speaker 3: hair color, and he did it one week and they
18:36
Speaker 3: did a second one another week, that would be a
18:38
Speaker 3: serial killer.
18:39
Speaker 1: Okay, So then we can safely say Wade Wilson was
18:42
Speaker 1: a killing spree. I think so not a serial killer.
18:45
Speaker 3: It sounds silly because at the end of the day,
18:47
Speaker 3: it killed two people. Call it what you want, but yes,
18:49
Speaker 3: I think it's falls more into killing spree than it
18:52
Speaker 3: does in as a serial killer.
18:55
Speaker 1: So in twenty nineteen to twenty twenty three. This is
18:58
Speaker 1: where we have the pre trial and legal person against him.
19:01
Speaker 1: He was formally charged with two counts of first degree murder.
19:04
Speaker 1: Defense attorneys raised issues involving mental health and substance abuse,
19:09
Speaker 1: and prosecutors argued that the murders showed a pattern of
19:12
Speaker 1: escalating violence and premeditation. It's interesting because when I watched
19:19
Speaker 1: the trial, first of all, I would say that his
19:22
Speaker 1: defense attorneys hate him. I and not that a defense
19:29
Speaker 1: attorney has to like their client. I mean I would say,
19:32
Speaker 1: defense say, yeah, I just think they you know, and
19:39
Speaker 1: everyone deserves a fair trial and everyone deserves the due
19:41
Speaker 1: diligence of a trial. And they were putting on mitigating factors.
19:45
Speaker 1: We talked about this with Judge Liz mitigating factors and
19:48
Speaker 1: aggravating factors when we talked about the Parkland shooting. So
19:52
Speaker 1: in this case, it was the same thing. There's aggravating
19:54
Speaker 1: factors about how violent he was, how quickly he killed,
19:58
Speaker 1: how he had no remorse, how he you know, strangled
20:01
Speaker 1: her and then ran over her with a car. Then
20:03
Speaker 1: your defense is going to present mitigating factors. You know,
20:06
Speaker 1: they tried to present that.
20:08
Speaker 3: Let me guess he was adopted adopted great until he
20:11
Speaker 3: learned he was adopted.
20:14
Speaker 4: Well.
20:14
Speaker 1: They also claimed that he had some type of brain
20:16
Speaker 1: injury that you know, that he couldn't help himself, and
20:20
Speaker 1: also that he suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome.
20:22
Speaker 3: That because his parents, again similar to the last cor sation,
20:26
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. That's, if anything, that's all the more
20:30
Speaker 3: reason to lock someone like that up because they will
20:32
Speaker 3: kill again.
20:33
Speaker 1: I think the mitigating factors aren't because they're they're not.
20:36
Speaker 1: It's because of the death penalty. They're not looking for
20:39
Speaker 1: him to get acquitted.
20:41
Speaker 3: They're saying, yeah, but that doesn't make sense, Like this
20:44
Speaker 3: guy killed people because he's evil and he wanted to
20:47
Speaker 3: kill people, so we'll put him to death. This guy
20:50
Speaker 3: can't help himself. He just has to kill people. It's
20:53
Speaker 3: like his brain. He should let him live and wish
20:56
Speaker 3: he could kill.
20:57
Speaker 2: People every day. Yeah, Yeah, that's why I don't get
21:02
Speaker 2: those mitigating aggregating factors.
21:04
Speaker 1: You're saying, just like what the Parkland.
21:05
Speaker 3: Is he strangled someone? Like, what's it matter? What the
21:08
Speaker 3: purpose was he strangled someone?
21:10
Speaker 1: You're saying, you don't ever think that there's any type
21:14
Speaker 1: of scenario where if someone is a murderer and a psychopath.
21:18
Speaker 1: It does not matter to you whether it's because they
21:20
Speaker 1: had a bad childhood or not.
21:22
Speaker 2: Not so much.
21:23
Speaker 3: Not for purpose, No, for sympathy, sure, but not for
21:26
Speaker 3: purposes of why they should be locked up, or whether
21:29
Speaker 3: they should be locked.
21:30
Speaker 1: Up well, or whether they should get the death It's
21:31
Speaker 1: really about the death penalty.
21:33
Speaker 3: Okay, But okay, fine, that's about the Deathitely, it's a
21:35
Speaker 3: different subject.
21:36
Speaker 1: No, we're talking about that. We're talking about the death penalty.
21:39
Speaker 2: I know.
21:39
Speaker 1: We're talking about his defense put on evidence of mitigating
21:43
Speaker 1: factors so that he would not get the death penalty.
21:46
Speaker 1: He already they already know he did the crimes. They're
21:48
Speaker 1: not trying to get him acquitted. They're not trying to
21:50
Speaker 1: say he's innocent. They're not trying. They're saying, please don't
21:52
Speaker 1: put my client to death because he had fetal alcohol syndrome,
21:56
Speaker 1: he had a bad life, he was adopted, he has
21:58
Speaker 1: brain injuries, can't help himself. So you're saying the mitigating
22:03
Speaker 1: circumstances shouldn't be put on because.
22:06
Speaker 3: They're trying to They don't see it as No, I
22:08
Speaker 3: don't see that. I see him as he went out
22:12
Speaker 3: and he wanted to kill two people. He bragged about it,
22:15
Speaker 3: and he said he'd do it again.
22:16
Speaker 1: Here's the other interesting thing with Wade Wilson. He was a.
22:21
Speaker 2: While he was on trial.
22:24
Speaker 1: He was a phenomenon in the media as far as
22:28
Speaker 1: social media. He had a ton of women that were
22:32
Speaker 1: obsessed with him and they called them, I think the
22:35
Speaker 1: prosecution named them Wade's wives. And they show in this documentary.
22:39
Speaker 1: It's so interesting because they play so many tapes, recordings,
22:43
Speaker 1: jailhouse recordings of him talking to so many different women,
22:48
Speaker 1: tons of different women. And these women are sending him money,
22:52
Speaker 1: They're sending him suits, they're sending he wants like a
22:55
Speaker 1: Gucci suit to wear to court, he wants alligator shoes
22:59
Speaker 1: to wear to were and these women are just they're
23:01
Speaker 1: all making it happen. And then they're all showing up
23:04
Speaker 1: to court every day to watch him. You can see
23:07
Speaker 1: them all sitting sitting on the benches while he's at trial,
23:11
Speaker 1: you know, just in love with him and enrolled.
23:14
Speaker 3: Is he gonna be on the what was it love
23:16
Speaker 3: and lock Up or whatever? What was that called that
23:18
Speaker 3: we still watch? I love that, Well, there was life after.
23:22
Speaker 1: Lock Up and then there's love after lock.
23:24
Speaker 2: Up, right or something. I don't know.
23:26
Speaker 1: That's some good reality TV. I don't watch Housewives. I
23:29
Speaker 1: don't even watch Orange County. I don't even I don't
23:31
Speaker 1: watch it at all, and but I will watch Love
23:35
Speaker 1: after lock Up. Talk about good reality TV where there.
23:39
Speaker 3: Was like love while locked up or something something where
23:42
Speaker 3: they were they were in jail, dating or whatever you
23:45
Speaker 3: want to and then courting, and then there was then
23:50
Speaker 3: it was such a phenomenon because of people like us.
23:53
Speaker 2: Then they did the like life after lock.
23:56
Speaker 3: Now he's he or she is released from prison and
24:00
Speaker 3: they're with their happily ever after love mate. Yeah, and
24:04
Speaker 3: then we watched the disastrous relationships.
24:07
Speaker 1: Remember I'll never I'll never forget. There's one episode. I
24:10
Speaker 1: mean I've seen many many episodes, but there's one episode
24:12
Speaker 1: where a guy got out of prison and the girlfriend
24:14
Speaker 1: picked him up and then they literally had like a
24:16
Speaker 1: camera crew, you know, following them, and.
24:19
Speaker 2: They stopped on the side of the road. It had
24:21
Speaker 2: sex on the way home in the bushes.
24:24
Speaker 1: Can you imagine the camera crew, They're just like, what
24:26
Speaker 1: we're pulling over, we're in the woods. Told him to
24:30
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that one I was like, this
24:34
Speaker 1: is just insanity. This is good reality TV. So anyway, well, yeah.
24:40
Speaker 2: He was smart by getting it before they broke.
24:42
Speaker 1: Up, getting what they never last. Wilson notoriously gained a
24:49
Speaker 1: huge following, primarily of women that found him attractive and
24:53
Speaker 1: voiced their unwavering support of him. You know what's so funny.
24:56
Speaker 1: They also show in this documentary all these women online,
24:59
Speaker 1: you know, making tiktoks about him and making content about
25:03
Speaker 1: him and posting and writing comments about him. And it
25:07
Speaker 1: just made me realize that people don't care about facts.
25:09
Speaker 1: They don't care about facts, they don't care about what
25:12
Speaker 1: really happened. So many of these women are like, bring
25:15
Speaker 1: him home, he's innocent. The man admits to what he
25:20
Speaker 1: did in court. You could watch it on court TV.
25:23
Speaker 1: There's graphic details of how he killed these two women.
25:28
Speaker 1: Diane Ruiz's son, who is fourteen, gets on the stand
25:31
Speaker 1: and talks about how he wanted to commit suicide. His
25:34
Speaker 1: mother never came home again himself. Yes, that's what I'm saying.
25:37
Speaker 1: They play I mean, they play recordings of his dear right.
25:40
Speaker 3: People don't look at that something. It was like when
25:42
Speaker 3: Michael Jackson had trials. Everyone was outside the courthouse and
25:47
Speaker 3: they were dressed up like Michael Jackson. They were playing
25:49
Speaker 3: his music. That was their evidence. It was like, he's
25:53
Speaker 3: the king of pop, right, how could he have done this?
25:55
Speaker 1: Right?
25:55
Speaker 2: Clearly he's innocent.
25:56
Speaker 1: So this is these women are just like, he's innocent.
25:59
Speaker 2: Bring him home. They don't care that whether he is
26:01
Speaker 2: or not.
26:01
Speaker 1: Well, I think some. I think some don't care because
26:04
Speaker 1: there were actual recordings of women saying, I don't care
26:07
Speaker 1: what he did.
26:08
Speaker 4: He's just so good looking. I don't care what he did.
26:10
Speaker 4: I don't care that he empty out the trash fast
26:13
Speaker 4: enough before you get mad at me. These women are
26:16
Speaker 4: willing to overlook murder charges.
26:18
Speaker 2: Yes, well, those.
26:19
Speaker 1: Are different type of women. So Wilson received nearly four
26:22
Speaker 1: thousand messages in prison, many from misguided women who have
26:25
Speaker 1: sent him X rated photos. According to public records, authorities
26:30
Speaker 1: had to reject one hundred and sixty three inappropriate photos.
26:34
Speaker 1: These fans were sending him money for his prison canteen and.
26:37
Speaker 2: Donating someone has that job photos for him.
26:42
Speaker 1: They probably had to have one person and that was
26:45
Speaker 1: like this. Their full time job is just looking at
26:48
Speaker 1: his interactions with other women. So I don't know, I mean,
26:52
Speaker 1: what's funny though, is. He'll talk to one and he
26:54
Speaker 1: calls her, baby, I love you, can't wait to get out.
26:56
Speaker 1: We're gonna get married. Then he talks. He talks to
26:59
Speaker 1: the next one. He's like, I love you. We're gonna
27:01
Speaker 1: get married, you know.
27:02
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't worry about that death penalty. Then
27:04
Speaker 3: don't believe everything you see.
27:06
Speaker 1: Right, these fans were sending him money for his prison
27:08
Speaker 1: canteen and donating thousands to a GoFundMe that raised over
27:12
Speaker 1: seventy thousand dollars with one woman donating twenty four thousand
27:16
Speaker 1: dollars alone.
27:18
Speaker 3: So she did which you know, was like her entire
27:20
Speaker 3: bank account, which is why it was such an odd number.
27:22
Speaker 1: Watch woman is looking at this man and donates twenty
27:27
Speaker 1: four thousand to First of all, can you get a
27:29
Speaker 1: GoFundMe if you're in prison or does that go to
27:31
Speaker 1: his Sure? Well, he doesn't have attorney fees because he
27:33
Speaker 1: has a public defender, and I think he went through
27:36
Speaker 1: seven public defenders before he finally have.
27:38
Speaker 2: Those go fund me accounts.
27:39
Speaker 3: But I know that they do have boards that overlook
27:41
Speaker 3: things and they kind of find some ethical issues in
27:43
Speaker 3: the way.
27:43
Speaker 1: So you're telling me this man has seventy thousand dollars
27:46
Speaker 1: in his canteen. In prison, he can buy seventy thousand.
27:50
Speaker 2: Dollars worth of candy. I don't know.
27:54
Speaker 1: These women and other supporters also flooded the chambers of
27:57
Speaker 1: Lee County Circuit Judge Nicholas R. Thompson's begging him to
28:01
Speaker 1: spare Wilson's life. One woman even pledged her undying devotion
28:06
Speaker 1: to the sociopathic killer as someone who cares unconditionally for weight.
28:10
Speaker 1: I have deeply reflected on the gravity of this situation
28:13
Speaker 1: and impact of your decision, the woman from Visalia, California,
28:17
Speaker 1: wrote to the judge. Another woman, a mother of two,
28:20
Speaker 1: claim that Wade is a different person when he's on medication.
28:23
Speaker 1: That's how they look back.
28:24
Speaker 2: Everyone's a different person when you're on medication.
28:26
Speaker 1: Oh, he's just you know, he's on medication. He's this
28:29
Speaker 1: on drugs.
28:30
Speaker 2: It's not a a million bucks.
28:32
Speaker 3: If I went up one, he's the one to try
28:33
Speaker 3: to hit on them, and they'd be like, oh, get
28:34
Speaker 3: out of here.
28:35
Speaker 2: Creep, Like you're willing to date a murder and you
28:38
Speaker 2: send him twenty four.
28:39
Speaker 4: Grand, Yes he's And then I wanted to go on
28:42
Speaker 4: a day with you and you call me creep.
28:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's tall. He's tall and good looking. It
28:48
Speaker 1: always wins if you look past his tattoos to his
28:52
Speaker 1: face structure. Since being in prison and medicated, he is healthier.
28:56
Speaker 1: His face is fuller compared to his booking picture where
28:59
Speaker 1: his face is gaunt, pale, and he looks unhealthy. This
29:02
Speaker 1: is what someone wrote to the judge. So all these
29:04
Speaker 1: women are writing to the judge, like telling him all
29:07
Speaker 1: these things that he needs to notice about Wade. You know,
29:09
Speaker 1: like he's when he's on drugs, it's no big deal.
29:12
Speaker 1: It says, he's just a different person when he's on drugs.
29:14
Speaker 1: If you look at his face, you know.
29:16
Speaker 2: I can fix them. Send them to me right one.
29:20
Speaker 1: They interview one woman that claims to be that claimed
29:22
Speaker 1: to be his fiance, and she talks about how she
29:26
Speaker 1: went to court every single day and she believed him.
29:29
Speaker 1: She believed that he was innocent, she believed that he
29:31
Speaker 1: didn't have anything to do with it, and then she
29:33
Speaker 1: went to court day after day, and then by the
29:35
Speaker 1: end she hated him and realized that, you know, she
29:38
Speaker 1: was duped and that he was never leaving prison. And
29:43
Speaker 1: they also what they did this was interesting. The prosecutor
29:46
Speaker 1: talked about how they were just so sick of these
29:48
Speaker 1: women backing him up that they wanted to find a
29:52
Speaker 1: way to get into court, into trial, all the different
29:56
Speaker 1: recordings of him talking to all these different women. So
29:58
Speaker 1: they got it in because they wanted because all these
30:01
Speaker 1: women are showing up at court every day and they
30:03
Speaker 1: all think, you know, they're like the one. They think
30:05
Speaker 1: they're the one, right, So they wanted they wanted these
30:08
Speaker 1: women to see like not I mean, the murderer, but
30:12
Speaker 1: they they wanted it right and show's relationships and talking
30:16
Speaker 1: to these women. I mean, he charms them all individually,
30:18
Speaker 1: so they all think they're special when they're sitting there.
30:21
Speaker 1: But they wanted to expose him. So I believe they
30:24
Speaker 1: had a psychologist on the stand and they played a
30:27
Speaker 1: lot of his his conversations. You could see the women
30:32
Speaker 1: in the stands like, yeah, exactly, exactly. So in June
30:42
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four, a Lee County jury found Wilson
30:46
Speaker 1: guilty of two counts of first degree murder. The verdict
30:49
Speaker 1: followed weeks of testimony from law enforcement, forensic experts, and witnesses.
30:54
Speaker 1: In August of twenty twenty four, this is the sentencing.
30:57
Speaker 1: A judge sentenced Wilson to two death sentences, one for
31:01
Speaker 1: each murder. Now, it's interesting what the jury voted. So
31:04
Speaker 1: the jury voted nine to three to recommend death for
31:07
Speaker 1: the murder of Christine Melton and ten to two for
31:11
Speaker 1: the murder of Ruiz. And if you remember, it's Lord's
31:15
Speaker 1: Law only requires an eight to four vote. That was
31:18
Speaker 1: changed after the Parkland shooting because it was previously unanimous,
31:23
Speaker 1: and then when now eight, So it was nine to
31:28
Speaker 1: three and ten to two. But my question is who
31:31
Speaker 1: are the three people and who are the two and
31:34
Speaker 1: the three on the jury that did not vote, and
31:37
Speaker 1: are they.
31:38
Speaker 2: The same people? Are those two people the same people
31:39
Speaker 2: that are in the three?
31:41
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I don't know if he had
31:42
Speaker 1: two different juries or if he had one jury that
31:45
Speaker 1: just had just made two different I believe it's just
31:48
Speaker 1: one jury. And then they each made a decision as
31:51
Speaker 1: far as they were.
31:51
Speaker 3: Probably following the law and so much that they felt, well, okay,
31:56
Speaker 3: But in this murder he didn't meet all the elements
31:59
Speaker 3: for death, but on this one he did, so it
32:01
Speaker 3: might have been not an emotional thing, but more of it.
32:04
Speaker 1: No, I'm just going to guess it was women that
32:06
Speaker 1: voted against the death penalty.
32:08
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was talking about that one swing vote.
32:10
Speaker 1: No, I'm just talking about who are the people that
32:12
Speaker 1: aren't voting for him for death? That's all.
32:14
Speaker 2: It was a jury of nine men, three women.
32:16
Speaker 1: Exactly, That's what I would say it was. But again,
32:20
Speaker 1: we talked about this with the death penalty. We talked
32:22
Speaker 1: about this with Brian Coberger and when he took the
32:24
Speaker 1: plea deal and why the prosecution allowed him to have
32:26
Speaker 1: a plea deal because Idaho has the death penalty, and
32:30
Speaker 1: if someone who deserves the death penalty more than someone
32:33
Speaker 1: like Brian Coburger, so in this case, Wade Wilson. So
32:37
Speaker 1: I'm saying, in this case, the people that are voting
32:40
Speaker 1: know for him to get the death penalty, Like in
32:42
Speaker 1: what right?
32:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know. Yeah, but my.
32:46
Speaker 1: Question is, in what circumstance would you say that someone
32:49
Speaker 1: deserved the death penalty?
32:50
Speaker 2: I mean, how he is big on the death penalty.
32:53
Speaker 2: Maybe they're not big on it.
32:54
Speaker 1: Well, this is Florida. I'm back to Florida. We went
32:56
Speaker 1: to Idaho for Brian Coberger. Now I'm back in Florida.
33:00
Speaker 2: Talking about Florida Florida gave him the death.
33:01
Speaker 1: Helt Yeah, that's why I'm saying. I mean it was close.
33:04
Speaker 1: It was nine to three. I mean, I can't in
33:07
Speaker 1: what circumstances should this guy not get the death?
33:09
Speaker 2: Well, maybe people death penalty, that's true.
33:11
Speaker 1: It could be a religious thing, and I understand that.
33:14
Speaker 3: Douse be like, I just don't think that's a good idea.
33:17
Speaker 1: Well, in a lot of circumstances.
33:19
Speaker 3: Eye for an eye, maybe you're just killing, you know,
33:21
Speaker 3: now you're killing like they were killing. I don't know,
33:23
Speaker 3: there's lots of reasons to disagree with it.
33:24
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just don't see how you sit
33:26
Speaker 1: through all that testimony and listen to this guy show
33:28
Speaker 1: no remorse.
33:30
Speaker 2: He shows no I agree.
33:32
Speaker 1: I mean he's so he's so cocky in court. Did
33:35
Speaker 1: you watch any of his trial at all? He's just cocky.
33:37
Speaker 1: He has no remorse, he doesn't care. I mean, he's
33:40
Speaker 1: like I said, his defense team, they they sit far
33:43
Speaker 1: away from him. There's like him, and then there's a space,
33:46
Speaker 1: and then his defense attorneys are over here. And anytime
33:49
Speaker 1: he like, you know, he gives them a paper, he
33:51
Speaker 1: just like throws it down in front of him. I mean,
33:54
Speaker 1: there's no camaraderie there at all, all right. Paramount Plus
34:07
Speaker 1: released the documentary titled Handsome Devil, Charming Killer. This was
34:10
Speaker 1: on January twentieth, So if you guys haven't watched it yet,
34:13
Speaker 1: I would say it's worth watching.
34:14
Speaker 2: I found it.
34:15
Speaker 1: It's three parts. There's witness statements, bodycam footage from the
34:20
Speaker 1: day of the murders, footage from inside the prison, and
34:23
Speaker 1: footage of the trial. The footage from inside the prison
34:26
Speaker 1: is so interesting to me because it just shows him
34:29
Speaker 1: constantly on the phone with all these different women all
34:33
Speaker 1: day long.
34:34
Speaker 2: Well, what else is he gonna do?
34:36
Speaker 1: I know, but I don't. I didn't know you could
34:38
Speaker 1: talk on the phone that long when you're on death row.
34:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how it works.
34:42
Speaker 1: I mean, are you allowed just unlimited phone privileges? Like
34:46
Speaker 1: can you?
34:46
Speaker 3: He just well, what if you get fifteen minutes a
34:48
Speaker 3: day and he's just using those fifteen minutes for these
34:50
Speaker 3: women And then now you see a compilation of.
34:53
Speaker 1: And it just looks like it's just all yeah.
34:55
Speaker 2: Hours and hours.
34:56
Speaker 1: There's recorded phone calls between Wade and his father, Wade
34:59
Speaker 1: and his girlfriend girlfriends, and quotes because there's a lot
35:03
Speaker 1: of girlfriends and his calls with many of his fans,
35:07
Speaker 1: and he always releases recordings, and I don't understand where
35:10
Speaker 1: these recordings go. This is at the end of the documentary.
35:12
Speaker 1: He releases these recordings where he thanks all of his fans.
35:16
Speaker 2: He probably has a video call.
35:17
Speaker 1: And thanks everyone for their like undying support, and like,
35:21
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm like, I'm thinking, does he have
35:23
Speaker 1: an Instagram account or something? But he has a.
35:26
Speaker 2: Video call with one of his girlfriends and then she
35:28
Speaker 2: records it and then.
35:29
Speaker 1: He just disseminates it somehow. Let's talk about Wade Wilson now.
35:34
Speaker 1: So Wilson is being held at the Union Correctional Institution
35:38
Speaker 1: in Rayford, Florida, the facility designated for the state's male
35:43
Speaker 1: death row population. You know what I was thinking, If
35:45
Speaker 1: you have everyone on death row all in the same place,
35:49
Speaker 1: what like what type of people work there? I mean,
35:52
Speaker 1: I would be scared to have to work somewhere where
35:54
Speaker 1: everyone's on death row.
35:56
Speaker 2: What do you mean? It's a correctional facility of correctional officers, I.
35:59
Speaker 1: Know, but it's specifically for death row. So to me,
36:01
Speaker 1: that's like the scariest people on the face of the
36:04
Speaker 1: planet are all in there.
36:07
Speaker 3: It's more security. I don't know, it just seems well,
36:11
Speaker 3: don't worry, not playing for any job anytime soon.
36:14
Speaker 1: Like other inmate sentence to capital punishment, he has kept
36:17
Speaker 1: under highly restrictive conditions, spending most of his time isolated
36:21
Speaker 1: in a cell with limited freedom of movement and minimal
36:23
Speaker 1: outside interaction. He did have. This was another thing that
36:27
Speaker 1: was in the documentary. He had some fans in prison.
36:29
Speaker 1: There was another young yeah, another young prisoner who looked
36:35
Speaker 1: up to him and then got the same, like the
36:38
Speaker 1: tasks on the size.
36:39
Speaker 2: He wanted some girls too. He's like, how do I
36:41
Speaker 2: do it?
36:42
Speaker 1: So he tatted his face up to match like what
36:45
Speaker 1: Wade Wilson had done to his face, which, by the way,
36:48
Speaker 1: I don't understand why he tatted his face in prison,
36:50
Speaker 1: because that was that was after he was arrested that
36:52
Speaker 1: he started getting the facial tattoos. I mean, he found
36:55
Speaker 1: himself so good looking and so charming. I don't know
36:58
Speaker 1: why he was messing with his face. But anyway, so
37:01
Speaker 1: Wade had some fans in prison that were emulating him
37:04
Speaker 1: and getting like the same facial tattoos. So while Wilson
37:10
Speaker 1: has received a death sentence, there is no immediate execution date. Obviously,
37:14
Speaker 1: he has to go through all the appeals process. You
37:15
Speaker 1: can't execute someone before all their appeals are you can't appeal, well,
37:21
Speaker 1: if they choose, not if they wave their right to appeal.
37:23
Speaker 1: But his attorneys submitted multiple appeals to the Florida Supreme Court.
37:28
Speaker 1: This is in August of twenty twenty four, and at
37:30
Speaker 1: least one of those legal challenges entered active proceedings in
37:33
Speaker 1: early January of twenty twenty six. That was the recent
37:36
Speaker 1: The most recent thing I read on him is that
37:38
Speaker 1: he does have an appeal that has gone through. His
37:41
Speaker 1: fan base has since dwindled. New pictures though. This was
37:46
Speaker 1: my this is my favorite thing about this whole documentary though,
37:49
Speaker 1: So his fan base is starting to dwindle because I
37:51
Speaker 1: believe these well, first of all, these women, I mean
37:54
Speaker 1: that were delusional. I thought they were going to marry him.
37:56
Speaker 1: Now know that he's sentenced to death. So they've dwindled, right,
37:59
Speaker 1: I mean his funeral, the woman that gave him twenty
38:02
Speaker 1: four thousand dollars, she must feel really stupid. But I don't,
38:05
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.
38:06
Speaker 2: Maybe she's excited still, maybe she moved on to x No.
38:09
Speaker 1: But I'm going to tell you my favorite thing about
38:11
Speaker 1: this entire documentary is that he had so much money
38:14
Speaker 1: in his canteen from all these fans that he was
38:17
Speaker 1: just eating candy all day. And they showed recent photos
38:21
Speaker 1: of what he looks like currently. His teeth are rotted,
38:26
Speaker 1: and he's overweight, and I mean overweight, like bloated overweight,
38:31
Speaker 1: and he's unrecognizable. He does not look really, he doesn't
38:34
Speaker 1: look anything.
38:35
Speaker 4: Like what he used to save it for the tattoos.
38:38
Speaker 4: You wouldn't recognize him, No, not.
38:40
Speaker 1: At all, like the teeth and the face, and he's
38:42
Speaker 1: bloated and it does not look like the same person
38:46
Speaker 1: at all.
38:46
Speaker 3: All those women need to start sending him a JLP one.
38:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, he needs he needs some mozempic. So the new
38:54
Speaker 1: pictures have surface of him and it appears as though
38:56
Speaker 1: his teeth are falling out and he's gained a significant
38:59
Speaker 1: amount of Honestly, for a man like that, with that
39:02
Speaker 1: type of ego, that's probably the worst punishment for him
39:05
Speaker 1: is that he's not attractive. You think, so, I don't know.
39:10
Speaker 2: I don't know he does murder is wrong?
39:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm well, so you're just saying he's so
39:17
Speaker 1: Maybe he just thinks he's still attractive.
39:19
Speaker 2: I hope he's disappointed in himself. Well, I just know.
39:23
Speaker 1: I'm thinking this man is so he he's such a
39:27
Speaker 1: psychopath and he's such an egotistical monster that the fact
39:32
Speaker 1: that he's on death row doesn't bother him.
39:34
Speaker 3: He has no roounds bother him.
39:37
Speaker 2: That would.
39:37
Speaker 1: I'm saying he's would bother you.
39:41
Speaker 2: Bother him, it would bother him.
39:42
Speaker 1: I'm saying, this man has lived his life being like,
39:44
Speaker 1: I'm so handsome, I'm so charming, i can get women
39:47
Speaker 1: to do anything. And now his teeth rotted and he's
39:49
Speaker 1: severely overweight, and he's bloated, and he doesn't look like
39:52
Speaker 1: his former self. I'm saying that's probably the worst punishment
39:55
Speaker 1: to him than death row, is that he's now ugly
39:59
Speaker 1: and fans of all dwindled and Wade's wives are no longer.
40:03
Speaker 1: I'll always have some crazy woman that wants to marry him. Yeah, yeah,
40:07
Speaker 1: that is true. All right, Thanks guys for listening to
