Something about this just isn't right.
Don't you think?
Wade Wilson, 19, CF 568.
You're charged with first -degree murder.
It hasn't changed.
He's the ultimate bad boy.
Hey, Kristen. Hello. Hey, Brucie. What's up, baby?
We saw Wade Wilson go through a series of women who were absolutely enthralled
with him. Hello.
Hey, sexy girl. What's up, you sexy motherfucker?
It's really hard to not fall for what he says and how he makes you feel.
When it finally got into the courtroom, we became ground zero.
Wade Wilson.
Wade Wilson. He's charismatic.
I need to know what he did. She wants to see the trial. I would want to see the
trial too.
While locked up, this is when Wade began getting his face tattooed. It started
with a swastika on his face and head.
First thing I did tell him was I was Jewish.
Did he have a problem with that?
There were jars that were terrified just being in the courtroom near him that we
had to excuse.
He wanted a Gucci suit and he wanted a Gucci shirt or crocodile shoes. What am
going to do with dang crocodile shoes for you?
Christine Melton, Diane Ruiz, both of them had been strangled.
And both of them, the last person that they encountered was Mr. Wade Wilson.
He said, I choked that bitch.
What did he say about the second girl?
He said that he pulled her out of the car and ran her over until she
looked like spaghetti.
There's nobody behind those eyes anymore? Dark, serial killer eyes.
I guess you know what comes across my mind?
Murder. Just murder, murder.
When I get that way, I become the devil.
Hello, this is a prepaid call from Wilson, Wilson, Wilson.
An inmate at the Lee County Jail.
To accept this call, press zero.
Hi.
Hey.
Finally. I fell very much in love with Wade.
I was going to get married to him before the trial.
I'm Alexis Williams. I go by Allie.
A friend of mine asked me to reach
out to Wade because I...
He knew that I had known him. He kind of had the same group of friends.
They sent a photo, and he's like, I know who you are.
And it just kind of stemmed from there.
His dimples. That's the smile, the side smile
with the dimples, I think, what got it.
That did it for me.
He was...
calling me all the time, and it ended up becoming more romantic.
I can't wait to get out. I'm going to come here, and I'm going to cook you a
home -cooked meal, and we're going to have sex for hours.
What kind of meal are you going to cook me?
Sex for hours sounds good.
How long? How many hours?
Are we talking like a marathon?
Like a triathlon?
We're going to do all different kinds.
We're going to do all different kinds.
I believe in intimacy is an exchange of energy. Being intimate with somebody
that I'm not physically there to as well wasn't hard for me. I want you fat and
ugly so nobody wants you. I'm going to literally run and tackle your bitch ass.
And I will bite your, I will sink my fangs right into your left butt cheek. I
will dip them into your butt cheek. I will.
He kept calling me repeatedly, like very persistently, very, very, very much.
And then it turned into, you know, his charm.
At
the
time, I was a bigger girl. I was about 300 pounds.
Which he likes those girls. He likes bigger women.
I want to hear you growl.
I love it when I hear you growl. I get like... Yeah,
you like it?
You sexy.
You sexy motherfucker.
You like it, baby?
You're so sexy, baby.
Your hair looks hot.
Your hair looks hot, baby. I love your hair.
You have one minute remaining.
It's really hard to not fall for what he says and how he makes you feel and the
amount of times all you're doing is laughing.
Is that right?
I think some of my hardest laughing moments were with him on the phone.
You better tackle me hard. You better slam me on the floor.
You're going to have to jump.
You better leap.
You feel appreciated, you feel valued.
And it was kind of like, are you seeing anybody?
No, you're not. We're dating.
And then I became, like, his girlfriend.
And I was like, okay, well, I can do this.
We monitored his e -mails and phone calls since
the beginning of his arrest.
My name is Sarah Miller, and I'm an assistant state attorney in our homicide
unit.
And there were just thousands upon thousands of phone calls.
He didn't ever talk about victims or anybody but himself. It was all about
him. It
seems that a lot of ladies
think he's attractive.
He's the ultimate bad boy.
It's hard for me as a woman to imagine attraction to someone who had violently
killed other women.
Holy shit. I was like, like, yeah, you know, he killed two girls. I was like, I
don't give a fuck.
Your voice is so goddamn sexy. I could just jack my dick and listen and fucking
listen to the phone and get off. Are you serious?
Always thinking about sex, how to have more sex, how to manipulate these women
that he's talking to.
Even
his
girlfriend at the time, Mila, she still had contact with him.
I hear his voice and I'm like, Wade, like...
I wasn't even sure. I couldn't believe she was calling me.
Baby, I want to tell you something.
Well,
obviously, you know I'm never coming home again. I know that. At first, are
going to wait for me, you know?
I know that you're probably going to find somebody on the outside and be with
them. What the fuck? Why do you do this to me?
We have everything going for us.
I'm sorry, baby.
Yeah. I know, baby.
I know we did.
I was good.
I was good.
Yeah.
He wanted to know that I would just hold on for him for a little bit longer. He
wanted me to wait for him.
Yeah, you won't come visit me. You're not going to come see me in prison.
You don't have to, but it'd be nice.
You've destroyed everything, Wade. We could have had everything.
Mila, I miss the shit out of you, and I love you. I'm going to love you until
the day I die. I'm going to be older, and I'm going to die in prison. And
hopefully, Mila, hopefully you can come see me in prison, baby.
How are you okay with this shit, Wade? How are you okay with saying you're
to die in prison?
Aren't you sad?
Yeah, Mila, you don't understand how sad I am. I'm more sad that I fucked up
with you than anything else. That's what I'm more sad over.
Isn't that crazy?
He was so bad.
And then it didn't take long for me to just say, what happened?
Just tell me everything.
And he would say horrible things. I choked that bitch.
Why did you kill that girl?
I shouldn't have.
I'm wrong.
Why did you kill her?
I want to know why.
Because I wanted to.
Why did you want to kill her?
I just wanted to.
Tell me. Tell me what happened. Did you have sex with her? You killed her? What?
No, I didn't have sex with her. I killed her, though.
Why? Why, Wayne? Because I was fucking freaking out on those drugs.
And then I was like, what about the other girl?
The other girl. The other girl. Why?
Why?
I killed her after I saw you.
Why? Why couldn't you just rob her? Why did you have to kill her?
I'm sorry.
I don't know. Why? I kind of want to know why. What was going through your
What were you doing?
I heard that you choked her out. She didn't die. She got up, ran, and ran
the car.
Is that how it went?
Yeah, it is. She didn't get up and run.
She didn't get up and run. That's not true.
I choked her out, pushed her out of the car, and then I ran her over with the
car like ten times. Do you not hear yourself?
Yeah, I do.
I hear myself.
I was on drugs, dude. I really can't believe it. You know?
There's a lot of people on drugs that don't go around telling people.
You're right. You're right. There it is. You're right, Mila. Yeah, I'm wrong.
You're right.
You're right.
Baby. This is not normal, man.
Okay, Mila. I get it.
Baby.
Mila.
Mila. Mila.
He said, can I still contact you? I just need you to talk to.
I'm going to live my life like a murderer, right?
How do I do this?
So you just want to stop talking to me?
I don't want you to.
I love you still, but how do I do this?
We get over it and we try to work through it if we can.
I can't live my life like I'm in jail. I'm sorry.
Thank you for using GTL.
I wanted to hear him say, I'm so sorry, I feel so bad. I, you know, I heard him
say that, but it was more he was sorry for him getting locked up.
Wade Wilson was in court this morning and pleaded not guilty to first -degree
murder charges for the deaths of Christine Melton and Diane Ruiz.
Something about this just isn't right.
I started going to court date. Don't you think?
and I was under the impression from his mouth that he was innocent.
He told me that all they had was the confession and that he was set up. I
met the one girl, but the other girl that died, I never even seen her or ran
into her at all.
Yeah, but the one girl that died, of course.
Like, I met her at the bar, I had sex with her. Like, honestly, sorry, but I
did. And it's the truth, but obviously all that stuff is fine, legal.
It doesn't mean I killed anybody.
You know what I'm saying?
It did not seem out of the, that crazy that he would have been set up. So I
believed him.
Exactly.
Yeah, I didn't have none of that shit.
No, yeah, no.
They're the psychopath here on TikTok.
And this is a new trial. I need to know what he did.
This is the first that we hear the details. All right.
When it finally got into the courtroom, it was time to tee it up and go.
I am Rich Montecalvo. I am the chief assistant state attorney. Let's start
a Wade Wilson update and give you guys some inside juice of what's going on.
There was just so much interest on regular media, social media.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
that we became ground zero for a couple of days.
My best friend and my sister are obsessed.
And it has drugged me in. She wants to see the trial.
I would want to see the trial, too. There was a population out there, not
here locally, but around the country and the world.
Wade Wilson, the influencer.
Wade Wilson is not dead.
Wade Wilson was sentenced to death for murder.
They were even putting all his walks into the courtroom set to music in a
motion, like fangirling over him.
It's all the thirst traps and the way he looks in a suit and the fact that he's
a murderer and some women just find that attractive.
He wanted a new suit every time. He wanted a Gucci suit and he wanted a
shirt or crocodile shoes.
What am I going to do with dang crocodile shoes for you?
I couldn't find what he had wanted and I already had spent about like $150 on
shoes and socks and underwear and shirts for him to wear and ties and it just
wasn't good enough for him.
Let's talk about Wade Wilson's tattoos.
Tattoos that can get you in serious trouble. Let us have a full rundown of
of his tattoos.
While locked up, this is when Wade began getting his face tattooed. It started
with a swastika on his face and head, and evolved into what looked like half a
skull on his face.
His face is an entire billboard of his life.
So Wade has a tattoo that says TTG.
That stands for train to go, which is also another way of saying ready for
Around his eye, he has the words, why so serious?
There's a famous quote from the 2008 Joker movie.
And then, of course, Wade has the swastika tattoos.
Multiple.
Besides the one on his cheek, his booking photo, clean face.
He had tattoos, but he was clean faced. When I met him, first thing I did tell
him was I was Jewish.
Did he have a problem with that?
All right. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Let the record reflect the
state's present defense counsel and the defendant are present.
The case of State of Florida versus Wade S. Wilson, case number 19 CF 568,
correct? Yes, Your Honor.
Yes, Judge. Are both the state and defense ready for trial this morning?
Yes, Your Honor.
Yes, and I would like to approach the bench.
Kevin and I were the fifth attorneys.
We weren't smart enough to step back when they called for volunteers.
The court said, you're it.
There was a concern by the defense counsel.
They had asked that he be allowed to wear makeup.
He wanted to have the makeup at first because he didn't want the jury to look
him and judge him based off of his looks.
I just got him a...
the tattoo cover -up makeup it was just supposed to be able to cover the the
black tattoo on his skin and then the morning that he was supposed to put it
he he puts it on himself nobody goes in nobody does it for him and
um it it didn't cover so he just said all right
we'll go without the uh the cover -up with that state where they proceed
Yes, sir. All right.
And the defense is ready to proceed with opening statements?
Yes, sir.
All right.
Dave? Thank you.
Good morning.
Christine Melton was 35 years old when she died.
She was found in her South Cape Coral residence, wrapped in some
bedding, tied with some shirts and leggings.
and a bathing suit top.
Her face was black and blue.
Her fingernails were broken.
She had marks around her neck as she lied on the floor between her
bedroom and the kitchen area of her residence.
So I was under the impression that he was telling me the truth.
And then when they started with Christine's case, that first part of it,
just, I ran to the bathroom and threw up, and I was crying.
Diane Ruiz is 43 years old.
She was found on an empty lot under some shrubs.
There's a tree just lying there.
Her nose had been broken.
Her hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage had been broken.
She had suffered multiple rib fractures, not only front,
but also in the back.
And if you want to believe what Mr. Wilson told law enforcement, was that he
driven over her.
repeatedly and tried to make her look like spaghetti just what he was thinking
what he was thinking when he ran over those that young lady that was trying to
go to work what was he thinking i'm one of
the 12 jury that thought through this trial the moment i walked in there and i
realized um
When the case started, how intense it was going to be, I started thinking,
should I be on this case? But I knew I had a duty to perform.
Now what you're going to learn in the course of this trial, ladies and
gentlemen, is that Ms. Ruiz and Ms. Milton had three things in common.
Both of them died on the 7th of October of 2019.
Both of them had been strangled.
And both of them, the last person that they encountered was Mr. Wade Wilson.
He was smirking. He was staring jurors down.
When we were picking a jury, we had a juror cry.
There were jurors that were terrified just being in the courtroom near him
we had to excuse.
He made a lot of eye contact.
especially when we were walking in.
And for me, he would look directly at me at times, and that stuck with me as
well.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, during the course of this trial, you're going to
about all of the admissions that he made. You're going to hear what he told
enforcement.
And you're going to hear that when they asked him why he killed Ms. Melton,
He said, I just wanted to do it.
It's just like a rage overcomes me, and I don't think correctly. I'm not
thinking properly, and I just, I guess you know what comes across my mind is
murder, just murder, murder, just kill, kill, kill.
And then they asked him, well, what about Mr. Lease?
His response was,
That's it.
You should kill her.
I got one down.
So I was just like, fuck it, I should just kill her, you know? I was already
fucking on a stroll.
I was already fucking one down. I felt like my life was over with anyway.
When you take all of that and you put it together,
the state wants you to return the only verdict that the evidence is going to
support.
And that is guilty of first -degree premeditated murder for the
and killing of Ms. Melton.
Guilty for battery on Ms. Melissa Martinez.
Guilty on first -degree murder of Ms.
Diana Ruiz for strangling, killing her, and running her over
with that car.
I was trying to still keep an open mind. I was battling my mind and my heart at
the same time for days, weeks.
There's only so much you can do with this case.
Usually when you do an opening, you like to have a solid defense or something in
your favor.
And at that point, we were...
Still tiptoeing through the tulips trying to come up with one.
The defense is going to reserve, Judge. Okay.
Very well.
For a defense attorney to then say, we waive our opening statement, and then
judge looks at the state and says, okay, call your first witness. It's like,
whoa.
The state called Melissa Montanez.
You went from being the love of his life to testifying against it. Like, that's
got to be hard.
I honestly did not think I was going to be able to do it.
I begged and pleaded that I didn't want to.
You're saying I have to sit in front of him.
And you're saying I have to testify against him in court.
I couldn't do it.
It wasn't until they told me how important that it was that I was.
Like, I was the only voice for Christine Melton and Diane Ruiz.
Because I was the only one that he beat up and survived.
I could say how scary he was.
I
don't
know if it will ever really set in. It's just surreal to be able to absorb that
somebody you were in love with killed two women with a serial killer, I guess.
Weirdly enough, I could understand if he murdered me.
But I can't imagine him just randomly going on a killing spree for girls he
not know. It feels like I have a lot of guilt on that.
Yes.
Yes.
I was hyperventilating. I couldn't get my breath in. I thought I was going to
pass out.
I'd cried many different times before getting in there, ruined my makeup
different times, ruined my hair several different times, just trying to get in
there.
And then she described in gruesome detail what her interaction
was when she had met him up at her spa.
And, you know, the pain and suffering that she had to endure at his hands was
unimaginable.
How did he act?
Violent, aggressive.
I knew I was going to die that day. I was just buying time. I'm trying to
with him, trying to talk to him, but there's nobody behind those eyes
Okay, so at some point, does he continue
to beat you as you're up there? Does he punch you?
Yes. Okay, describe that punch.
The final and end 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, Mila, get in here. And
then, like, I didn't even realize how crazy I looked.
Like, they rescued me, and I don't know what happened after that. I'm assuming
he left.
Having a child of my own, our daughter, no man wants to see their kid go through
that. Of course, he would sympathize with her.
I'm just happy that she made it out alive.
Now, do you, as you're sitting here in court, see the person who was threatened
to kill you and who was battering you that morning sitting in court? Yes.
Would you please point to him and identify?
His body is closing.
Wade Wilson in the blue suit.
And I let the record reflect that the witness has identified the defendant.
To testify against him and to see his face again, that's a really, really
hard thing for witnesses to have to do. He's strong to come in and testify and
strong to be able to stand up on cross.
When you were at the Buddha Bar, or before going to the Buddha Bar,
Did you, were you using cocaine?
Yes.
Your cocaine?
No. Whose?
He had some.
You said when you met up with him, you said there was nobody behind those eyes
anymore? Yes, that's true. What did you mean?
Dark serial killer eyes where there's nothing to reason with.
It's a black hole.
You're saying words. You're trying to evoke emotion in somebody, and there's
nothing behind those eyes.
Nothing further, Judge.
She withstood a cross -examination like a palm tree in a hurricane, I'll tell
you that.
You read, right?
Nothing further. Any objection?
No. She can be in skis. You sit down and you're in skis.
I can't think of anything I've done harder than that.
And then I started getting all these death threats that I had testified
them. I couldn't show up to work for several months after the trial.
I thought I did my job on trial. I thought that was all I had to speak. I
know how to further defend myself after all this. I didn't know that there was,
I don't know, hundreds of thousands of girls.
that I had to defend myself from, from a serial killer.
That was crazy.
We call them the Wade wives. I think they called themselves Wade wives.
People who were trying to have relationships with him.
He did ask for pictures, and then when he got them, he was obviously very
very charming, and complimentary about the pictures, and then he was asking for
more. This defendant...
who's covered with facial tattoos and for some reason fascinates people.
Meet Wade Wilson, who apparently has been taking over corners of TikTok.
Wade Wilson. Wade Wilson. He's charismatic and he has, like, tattoos.
what was going on on the outside. He knew what was being posted on TikTok.
He literally knows everything.
And then it certainly didn't help that his name is Wade Wilson from Deadpool.
We can fight that.
I'm sure you've been seeing him all over your For You page. Wade Wilson, the
Deadpool killer.
He really thinks that he's a Marvel character.
It kind of reminds you of Charles Manson a little bit, doesn't it? He was
building a cult following.
There were women and there were folks out there that were actually following
commands and getting tattoos done.
I did.
Let me have it.
Right here.
It was one of those, tattoo your name on me so I know it's real.
Sorry, but it was.
Literally the words from his mouth.
And I've never done that before. I don't have any other name on my body,
including my children. So it was something that I was very serious about.
Is this all that we are?
I mean, again, I think he's a master manipulator, so he knows how to get what
wants.
So inmates are entitled to having what's called
a canteen or a money account to purchase items, purchase food, what have you.
I just put more on. Don't worry, I'll be able to send you some money soon.
He had girls all around the world writing him, sending him money.
He had more canteen than he can even use.
That even guys were fangirling over him.
I haven't had pizza in months.
What do you want?
I only need $12, that's it.
How about I say $24 right now, okay?
Okay. Babe, you can put $10 on there for Daddy so he can eat on Friday.
Goddamn. I put that money on your account.
I put $12 because you can get the hot food with the brownie.
You knew I wanted that brownie, huh?
Hey. Hey, thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
In the four or five years that Wade Wilson was in jail, we saw Wade Wilson
through a series of women who were absolutely enthralled with him.
I'm Dr. Casey Jordan. I'm a criminologist, attorney, and behavior
There's a sense of safety and control in loving a bad boy. Look, here's a
violent person. I'm controlling him, and he can't hurt me. It's not just his
good looks, though. It's the notoriety of his horrific crimes.
Morning. Please introduce yourself to the ladies and gentlemen of the jury by
telling them your name.
Sure. How are you doing? I am...
Dr. Thomas Coyne, I was the Deputy Chief Medical Examiner here at District 21.
Did you have an opportunity to perform an autopsy of Ms. Diana Ruiz?
I did.
So these are all photographs that were taken on the day of the autopsy in the
morgue here in Fort Myers.
I always take note of how the defendant responds to certain evidence, and Wade
Wilson stared right at those autopsy photos, almost as if he was proud of
he did.
In Wade Wilson's cell, he has photos on the wall.
For him, it's a brag sheet.
The most disturbing photo is the field where he dumped Diane Rees' body. It's
not just a memento. It's a constant reminder he's reliving the horrible,
atrocious murder of Diane Rees.
Yes, they would like to call Mr. Scott Hannon.
All right, you may proceed.
Thank you, Your Honor.
I'm Scott Hannon, the fiancรฉ of Diane Ruiz.
Do you recognize this particular item, State 30I, that was previously admitted
in evidence?
That's the ring I got her.
What did that ring signify?
Our love for each other.
When you left for work that morning, was Ms. Ruiz still at the residence?
Yes, she was still in bed.
So you didn't see her after you left, is that correct?
Nope.
Did you have any contact with her after you left for work that day?
A brief text message.
She... She...
She
didn't think I gave her a kiss goodbye.
Had you?
Of course.
Anytime I looked over at him, he just sat there and seemed to be enjoying and
listening to everything that we had to present to the ladies and gentlemen of
the jury.
You're dealing with someone quite sick, and this is an individual who's taken...
depravity to a completely different level.
Good
morning,
ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back. We're ready to proceed.
I was believing what I was told so much that I didn't, I was ignoring my
intuition.
Yeah, no, I'm not trying to go nowhere.
I'm trying to do this for real with you.
I want to be with you, yeah, and live with you and everything.
I think it was a possessive thing that attracted me so much is that it was a
dominant deal, and I liked the fact that he was very possessive over me at the
time.
I love you so much, so committed to you, trusting in you, forever yours.
Now let's get married already.
I was under the impression that he was going to be released on the murder
charges. I would just go down to the courthouse and marry you so we could
consensual sex all the time.
Yeah, absolutely.
Of course. Yeah, you better. You better come bang, bang my brains out.
So I was preparing for him to do a 10 - to 15 -year bid, and I was still going
to marry him, thinking that if he's innocent on these charges, then he
lying to me, then I will stick it through and be with him on these ones
this is what it was at the time.
Undoubtedly, wholeheartedly, I am yours, Wade.
Wait with the wash the cup.
Please tell the jurors your name.
Stephanie Saylors. Do you know someone by the name of Christine Melton?
Yes. Christine and I have been friends since we were in high school.
I want to take you back to October 6th of 2019.
Did you see Christine on that day?
Christine and I had planned to go out drinking at the Buddha Bar.
We socialized quite a bit. We danced. We got drinks pretty standard going
out at night.
Now, while you were there, did someone approach you?
Yeah, somebody jumped out in front of me and said, Hey, who's your friend?
And gestured towards Christine.
Then I grabbed Christine and said, Hey, this guy wants to meet you. How did he
introduce himself to you?
At that point, he introduced himself as J .R.
Do you see J .R. sitting in the courtroom today?
Yes, right there in a bright blue suit.
Now, has his appearance changed since the time that you met him?
Yes, he has a lot more tattoos on his face.
As far as J .R.'s concerned, does he exhibit any kind of anger or any kind of
red flags?
No, not at all.
And, in fact, you and Christine thought he was charming?
Mm -hmm.
And this is what I do with women, you know.
I use my charm, use my good looks.
That's what I did with the first girl, and that's how I got her into her bed,
and look what happened to her.
We were concerned that are we going to have jurors that might question why she
would go home with a stranger or, you know, why she would be so trusting.
Now, what happened when you got back to Christine's home?
I remember telling her, you know, I had to go home because I had to go to work
the next day and take my son to school.
When she told you goodbye and 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 Wade
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.
He said, let's get this guy out of here together.
The case was never about Mr. Wilson.
It was about Diane Ruiz, and it was about Christine Melton. It was about the
women who he'd come into contact with and taken their lives.
Look, it says, notice of intent to seek death penalty.
And then it tells us why, or whatever.
We felt as though the death penalty was warranted. And, you know, quite frankly,
he earned it.
So, yeah, serious.
Wow.
Yeah, tell me about it. Wow, that's what I said.
That's what I said.
He's mostly offended by the way that it was presented to him, and he doesn't
like the jokes that the correctional officers are making around him.
Some shit like that. You know what I'm saying? I don't know.
Like some slick shit. I was going to grab his face through the motherfucking
bars and pull his fucking face in.
Oh, my God.
I was like, bitch, I can't believe you just said some shit like that to me.
This is a guy who's on trial facing death, and he seemed to have no concern.
Date called Steven Testaseca.
You know someone by the name of Wade Wilson?
Yes, ma 'am. How do you know Wade Wilson?
He's my son.
How old were you when you found out you were going to be his father?
Fourteen or fifteen.
How old was his mother at the time?
A year younger than me.
Now, were either of you in a position at that age to be able to raise him?
No, ma 'am. Was he placed up for adoption?
Yes, ma 'am.
When you put a father up on the stand, I mean, he was torn. I mean, that's a
son. His moral compass pointed due north, and he didn't have any
about coming in and repeating the things that Mr. Wilson told him.
I want to turn your attention to Monday, October 7th of 2019.
Did Wade Wilson get in touch with you through phone call that day? Yes, ma
And what did he tell you in that call?
He just told me, you know, he did something. There was two people gone
would not be back.
He said, I'm a killer.
I choked that bitch.
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?
I felt like he was wanting me to feel the way he felt about it.
Did he seem proud of it?
Yes. Did he seem to show any kind of remorse?
No, ma 'am.
The dad was very impactful.
He did the right thing.
He did the right thing.
Did you feel conflicted about giving him over to law enforcement initially?
No, ma 'am.
And did you have additional concerns of what might happen if you didn't turn him
into law enforcement?
Yes, ma 'am. What was that, sir?
He would have done it again.
I couldn't imagine having to make that decision to turn your son in because he
was going to hurt more people, and he has gotten so much hate for it.
Because people don't understand. They see him as a crappy parent when this man
did everybody a favor.
Do you see your son sitting here in the courtroom?
Yes, ma 'am.
And would you describe an article of clothing he's wearing? White shirt, blue
tie, dark suit.
I have nothing further in tender this witness.
The irony of it is he's still pulling the strings from a jail cell.
I was looking at these accounts, you know, raising money.
I want to see it. Like, I'm hoping.
I'm hoping we get enough money, man, so we can get me a lawyer so I can have a
little fucking canteen. Like, I hope some money comes in.
Hopefully people will fucking see the page. Like, listen, can I tell you
something, though, Kristen?
Once people see the GoFundMe page on there, we're going to have the people
think I'm innocent that are going to donate, and then we're going to have the
weirdos that think I didn't.
They're going to donate. You know what I'm saying?
You said the weirdos? The weirdos for what?
You know, like Batman and Joker, we're going to have the weirdos that like
and shit. They're going to be like, oh, I'm going to fucking donate.
You know what I'm saying?
He's got, I mean, it's just crazy. I was looking at these accounts.
I need your money. I don't care what you donate your money to. But it's just all
women.
It's all women.
Now, I hate to say this, but he doesn't need anybody right now.
His commissary's fat.
He's got an army of wives.
And that's all he's ever wanted.
It's so much easier to be genuine and honest than, you know, not use people,
know.
And I hate that for him.
I hate that at his age that he still does that. But he knows he's a good
-looking man, and that's his MO.
I'm Candy Wilson.
I am Wade.
Adopted mother.
Everything was fine until when he found out he was adopted.
I knew there was something wrong with him. He's sick.
He's got a diseased mind.
The potential for traumatic brain injury or head injuries, I ordered testing.
Wondering why there's any sympathy for him. He had a very troubled childhood.
And have you made a decision as to whether you want to testify or not? Yes.
what is that decision?
That's when everything...
