from The Trial of this tatted killer. that ultimately led to his death. sentence welcome to sidebar presented by. law on crime I'm Jesse. [Music]. Weber double murderer Wade Wilson who. gained notoriety on Tick Tock for his. tattoos and the unsettling Coincidence. of sharing a name with the Deadpool. character stood trial earlier this year. for the brutal 2019 murders of two women. Christine Melton and Diane Ruiz in Cape. Coral Florida these tragic series of.

events unfolded on October 7th 2019 when. Wilson who was then 25 apparently met. Melton and her friend at a bar in Fort. Meyers they spent the night hanging out. before heading to Melton's home the next. morning and after Melton's friend left. Wilson did the unthinkable he just. strangled Melton to death in her sleep. and stole her car and then later he. encountered just randomly 43-year-old. Diane Ruiz walking down a Cape Coral.

Street was able to lure her into his car. under the pretense of asking for. directions but when she tried to escape. Wilson attacked her beat her strangled. her before pushing her out of the car. and running over her body multiple times. he was arrested just a day after these. brutal killings after he made a chilling. confession to all people his father and. his father testified about that. recounted these horrifying details on.

the stand during his son's trial and. Wilson's trial began in June where he. faced charges including two counts of. first-degree murder Grand Theft battery. burglary petty theft in opening. statements the prosecutor highlighted. what is just a senseless killing. senseless nature of these crimes telling. the jury that Wilson killed these. innocent people because he just wanted. to do it Mr rise and Miss mton had three. things in. common both both of them died on the 7th.

of October of. 2019 both of them had been. strangled and both of. them before they were forever. silenced last person that they. encountered was Mr Wade Wilson Miss. Melton was left. alone Mr Wilson.

you know how that morning. ended Miss Melton once again had broken. fingernails face was black and. blue she had marks around her neck she. had been strangled he then proceeds to. wrap her up in some bedding ties the. bedding ties it with her shirts her. jeans her leggings her bathing suit top.

and tries to pull her out of the. bedroom except at this point in time. Sun's beginning to come up it's getting. light outside she's heavy he wants to. get rid of the body he thinks the better. of it and then decides he's going to. leave her. there gets her keys to the black Nissan. Versa and you're going to hear that when. they asked.

him why he killed Miss. Melton he said I just wanted to do. it. then they asked him well what about Mr. Rees.

his response. was. eff to kill. her I got one down L he reached out to. his. dad they needed to know where his. whereabouts. are dad tells him.

you know he's conflicted it's his son. right. but when he starts describing what he. had. done he describes it in such a. way where he's. bragging he wants his dad to feel that. excitement he made his dad sick.

his dad gets the address send tells him. yeah I'm going to send you an Uber now. Wilson's defense decided not to give an. opening statement and sometimes you do. that when you you know truth be told. don't have a great defense but you want. to see what the prosecution puts out. first it's not the worst idea at times. because really look it's the. prosecution's case it's the prosecution. who has the burden of proof here not the. defense you can just say Hey listen. after everything you heard they didn't.

prove their case Beyond A Reasonable. Doubt although I will tell you sometimes. sometimes when you see a defense not put. forward an opening statement could be a. red flag so no defense opening and the. trial went straight into testimony after. the prosecution's opening by the way we. have wanted to break down this Wade. Wilson trial for you for quite some time. and I got to thank our incredible. partner Morgan and Morgan because it's. with their support that we able to do. this so here's the deal if you should. get injured you got to know your legal.

sidebar now after Wilson kills these two. women he apparently describes all this. to his father and then asks him to get. him in Uber yeah now his father. testified about this chilling set of. details he was told in a disturbing. phone confession needless to say by the. way he didn't end up calling his son in. Uber that day he just told me you know. he did something there was two. people going that would not be back he.

he said I'm a killer um you. know I just told him to call me back I. just thought it was another story you. know so so at this point when he says. that um there were two people that. wouldn't be with us and that uh he was a. killer did you put a lot of weight into. that no ma'am do you think he was just. telling you a story he's a good. Storyteller when he talked about these. two people who were no longer with us.

and that he was a killer did he show any. type of remorse no man' he just said he. met a girl at a bar they went back to. her house hung out for a little bit and. then she fell asleep what did he say. happened after she fell asleep he said. he got on top of her and choked her what. name did he call. her did he did he refer to on a. derogatory term oh he said I I choked. that what did he say uh about the second.

girl he said that he pulled her out of. the car and realized that she was still. breathing so what did he tell you he did. when he realized she's still. breathing he said he got back in the car. and ran her over until she looked like. spaghetti as he's telling you all these. things what's his demeanor as he's. telling you. he was excited you say excited what do.

you mean by. that he just I felt like he was warning. me to feel the way he felt about it did. he seem proud of. it yes. when you were talking to him you decided. that you needed to give the information. to law enforcement about his whereabouts. how did you get that address from him I. told him I was going to send a maneuver. and I needed the address address of.

where he was were you actually going to. send a maneuver no ma'am did you then. what did you then do with the address he. gave you my wife was messaging with the. officer and uh did you encourage him to. go outside and turn himself in I did I. didn't want him to do anything stupid. and end up getting killed so I just told. him to put his hands up and just go. outside yeah bragging to his father. about murdering two women women didn't. really end the way Wade Wilson wanted it.

to since it was his father's own. disbelief that led to his son's arrest. just a day after the murders now. although it was ultimately this. confession that landed him in jail this. was apparently not the only time that he. told someone he killed people sometime. after the murders Wilson showed up to a. business acquaintance of his and this. acquaintance Joshua lukish told the jury. of this bizarre encounter he had with a. shirtless and frantic Wade Wilson Wade.

uh came in in a black car uh he he. backed up to uh one of the. buildings um on the property there and. he came up to uh my truck my vehicle. when I was on the property and uh I was. with a client at that time so I I told. him to uh give me a moment and I'll be. right with him and uh once I went into. the building.

um he was there uh trying to get a plane. ticket or a bus ticket or or whatever he. could from me to uh lead. town now when you saw Mr Wilson could. you please describe for us what he was. wearing at that time uh he was wearing. uh sweatpants only no shoes no. shirt um he was bloody and he was. missing a couple of teeth.

could you please describe for ladies and. gentlemen jury but what their uh what. his demeanor was uh his demeanor was. frantic. um uh in a rush to. uh leave as quickly as he could uh. because he had just done something. horrific and and killed. people when he was speaking to you and. asking you for your. assistance did that give you any cause.

for. concern um not right. away um and and once I took a look at. him again I started to believe what he. was. saying now what exactly what he was he. saying to you he said he killed. people and he rolled up someone in. uh a carpet or a bedding or whatever it. was.

and. um that. uh he. also he also uh needed uh to get out of. town he needed a plane ticket and a bus. ticket or anything he. could so was he frantically asking you. for assistance yes yeah so Wilson was. caught on surveillance entering the. business shirtless just as the witness.

said but as the state played this video. for the jury Wilson can apparently be. heard whispering to his defense attorney. there's no blood on me in the. video no blood on me in the video Wilson. had a lot of unsettling reactions to. various evidence that was presented. during this trial but I will tell you. one particularly disturbing moment came. when he listened to the 91 phone call. that Lucas had made right after seeing.

Wilson who again can be seen smirking. and shaking his head in the courtroom he. said he stab somebody I guess okay I. need to get the person's description is. he white Black Or. Hispanic his wife about 62 he has. tattoos and he said his name was. Wade Wade yeah I don't. know now let's be clear about something. both the murders of Chris Melton and.

Diane Ruiz were absolutely horrific but. I have to say when it came to Ruiz she. particularly suffered some really. gruesome injuries because Wilson ran her. over with the car repeatedly doct Thomas. coin of the Tallahassee medical examiner. office described ruiz's condition in. just chillingly precise detail to this. jury so fair warning to you right now. this is a bit graphic what injury did. you note if any on the external.

examination of Miss Diana Ruiz uh sure. uh most notably uh so she was uh in the. stages of pureactive decomposition so. her tissues were being uh decomposed and. degrading uh she had some evidence of. animal or Scavenging activity on her. body as well uh and so portions of her. ears and nose were removed already most. likely by Aven scavengers but I could. see uh externally first and foremost.

that she had fracturing of the nasal. bone uh she also had uh a laceration uh. underneath her left breast uh she also. had bruising or or or hemorrhaging uh in. the skin um on the both sides of the. left and right sides of the. body was that the extent of the external. uh injuries that you observed the the. most significant external there was a. course a lot of significant internal.

injuries um and did you document all. these by way of I apolog I apologize she. also had what I didn't talk about was. bruising uh on the on the back of her. left forearm uh bruising on the back of. her left hand uh I can also see that she. had a fracture of the fourth finger the. proximal part of the fourth finger um. and she also had some bruising on her. right arm as well and the jury also. heard from Diane ruiz's fiance Scott. Hannon who who described the morning of.

that faithful day and this was just. heartbreaking because he recalled what. would have been their final goodbye and. you indicated that Miss Ruiz worked at. the Moose Lodge yes and how did she get. to the Moose Lodge on most days most. days uh she had our friend who was an. Uber driver his name is James anyway. um but uh I guess on that day he was not. available do you know how she got to. work that day yes uh I know that she uh.

walked to work did you have any contact. with her after you left for work that. day um a brief text message. um she. uh she. uh she didn't think I gave her a kiss. goodbye had you of course of. course as for the circumstances.

surrounding Christine Melton's murder. the jury was able to hear from one of. the last people who had seen her alive. her friend Stephanie Johnson who was. with Melton at the bar when they were. approached by Wade Wilson this is what. she had to say as we were walking up to. the upstairs bar. um somebody jumped out in front of me. kind of just like to get my attention. and said hey who's your friend. and gestured towards.

Christine um and you know he seemed. friendly and introduced himself and I. grabbed Christine and said hey this guy. wants to meet you U what was his. demeanor uh friendly Charming is there. anything any red flags that that popped. up when you were talking to him no no. how did he introduce himself to you um. at that point he introduced himself as. Jr do you see Jr sitting in the.

courtroom today yes would you please. point to him and uh identify an article. of clothing that he's wearing right. there in a bright blue suit let the. record reflect that the witness has. identified the defendant. okay now uh has his appearance changed. since the time that you met him yes he. has a lot more tattoos on his face so. after they left the bar they spent the. night at a friend's house before. eventually taking an Uber back to. Melton's house the next morning where. Johnson broke out in tears and recalled.

the moment she saw Melton for the last. time prior to leaving uh did everything. seem fine yeah it did and I remember. telling Christine you know I have to go. home I have to go to work and she was. like okay she hugged me and kissed me. goodbye and said I'll talk to you. tomorrow and again would uh when she. told you goodbye that she'd see you. tomorrow did you have any concerns for. her safety.

no and in fact if you did would you have. left her home with just her and wde. Wilson in that house not at all and if. she was concerned Christine would have. never let me leave that house if she was. scared she would have said let's get. this guy out of here together so when. you left is it safe to say that really. the night the night was over the party. was over yeah it's already morning time. mhm. and do you know like I said we we had.

this sense of relief that we had made it. home now aside from the murder charges. that Wilson faced he was also hit with a. charge of battery for allegedly. assaulting his ex-girlfriend Melissa. montine who told the jury of this. terrifying argument she had with Wilson. when they last met up and that was one. she said almost led to her. dying when you got there did you get out. and try to talk to him yes and again. what were you trying to talk to him.

about um I went to the driver side. window he wrote it. down I said where are my keys where's my. car um he was calm and just saying get. in the car get in the car and it. escalated quickly did you agree to get. in the car no and when you would not. agree to get in the car how did he act. violent aggressive tried to pull me in. the car physically and I resisted did. got plank style so that he could not.

grab me into the vehicle he opens the. car door obviously forgets to put in. park the car starts to roll forward he. tackles to me to the ground the car. grazes both of our legs and I'm pummeled. to the ground what happens after you are. pushed to the ground I start to get. beat describe what you mean when you say. he was beating you it all went so fast. and so slow whether it would be punches. slapping.

choking that kind of nature I got to the. the front of the. staircase and I'm holding on to. that and a crowd begins to develop I'm. expecting people to help call 911 I knew. I was going to die that day I was just B. buying time the final and in punch that. I remember he got me so straight on and.

blood just went crazy everywhere and it. almost was like a minute where I could. dunk under and run under his arm run. down the stairs and then that's when my. neighboring businesses the design studio. were calling me Mila ma get get in here. and then like I didn't even realize how. crazy I looked but like they rescued me. and I don't know what happened after. that I'm assuming he left in the end. Wilson's team opted not to put on a case.

and the jury spent roughly two hours. deliberating before ultimately. convicting Wade Wilson on all of the. charges including murder and prior to. his sentencing the judge did give Mr. Wilson the opportunity to speak well Mr. Wilson you have an opportunity just like. during any of the other phases of well. let me just finish real quick any other. phases during the case uh if you want to. address the court uh I would permit you. to do that obviously you know. everything's recorded uh but uh you.

would have that opportunity if you wish. no one can prevent you from addressing. the court if you wish to and uh no one. can make you address the court if you. don't want to so it is a decision that's. solely left up to you if you want to. address the court or not not today later. when I come back I will today no I won't. okay okay thank you and a stoic. expressionist Wade Wilson would serve. the maximum punishment for his crime. the totality of the circumstances.
