🚨⚖️ FLORIDA’S “DEADPOOL KILLER” — TWO DEATH SENTENCES, BUT STILL NO EXECUTION DATE

Wade Wilson became one of Florida’s most notorious death-row prisoners after being convicted of murdering two women on the same day in 2019.

In August 2024, a judge sentenced Wilson to death for the killings of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz.

But more than two years after those sentences, one major question remains:

Why hasn’t he been executed?

The answer is buried in the lengthy legal process that follows a death sentence.

Wilson’s case is still moving through the courts.

His direct appeal is before the Florida Supreme Court, where the case remains listed as an open death-penalty appeal.

On February 5, 2026, Wilson’s attorneys appeared before the Florida Supreme Court to challenge his death sentences.

But the hearing did not unfold as his defense team had apparently expected.

That did not mean the death sentences disappeared.

Wilson remains on death row.

And the legal battle continues.

One of the most closely watched issues surrounding his case involves Florida’s newer death-penalty law.

Wilson’s jury did not unanimously recommend death.

The vote was 9–3 for one murder and 10–2 for the other.

Under Florida’s 2023 law, however, a death recommendation can be made when at least eight of the 12 jurors vote for death.

That change has become a major part of the legal controversy surrounding Wilson’s case.

So although the words “death sentence” appear in his court record, that does not automatically mean an execution date is set.

There are still legal proceedings that must be resolved.

And an execution requires another critical step: a death warrant.

As of the latest available court information, there is no verified public record showing that Florida has issued an execution warrant setting a date for Wilson.

That means the story has not reached its final chapter.

For now, Wil
