According to a report by New York Post, Circuit Judge Nicholas Thompson said, "The evidence shows the murders were heinous, atrocious and cruel. and that the second murder was cold, calculated and premeditated."

As the judge delivered his capital punishment, Wilson remained stoic and impassive.

Found guilty in June, Wilson had killed Kristine Melton (35) and Diana Ruiz (43) in October 2019.

According to the publication's report, the murders committed by Wilson were too heinous and held no ground to overrule the death sentence.

The prosecutors said that first Wilson was engaged in a drug-fueled sexual intercourse with Melton in her house, followed by which he strangled the lady.

After stealing the deceased victim's car, Wilson called his girlfriend, Melissa Montanez (41), using Melton's phone.

According to the publication's report, Melissa who was assaulted by Wilson then, refused to enter the car, after which Wilson left and encountered Ruiz who was needed help regarding directions.

Ruiz who wanted help to reach Cape Coral was invited by him in the car, and she too met the same fate as Melton.

According to New York Post, Wilson in his testimony admitted that he strangled Ruiz and threw her out of the stolen car.

He then run over the car over Ruiz 'until she looked like spaghetti'.

According to the publication's report, Assistant State Attorney Andreas Gardiner said, "This case was about killing for the sake of the killing. Strangulation is the epitome of life slipping through someone’s hands."

Wilson's attorneys argued that he suffered from brain damage due to drug addiction and was disturbed by abandonment issues after he was given away for adoption by his biological parents.

According to New York Post, Wilson's adoptive parents had in a letter, pleaded before the court to not give him death sentence saying, "the human is still in there".
