Women infatuated with convicted double-murderer Wade Wilson have written desperate letters to a judge, hoping to persuade him to spare his life.
Wade Wilson, 30, was convicted of slaughtering two Florida women during an hours-long crime spree on the same night in October 2019 in Cape Coral, with his appearance drawing widespread interest in his case.
Dubbed the ‘Deadpool Killer’ as he shares a name with the Marvel character, Wilson was found guilty for the deaths of Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, who prosecutors said he murdered ‘for the sake of killing’.
Now, women are bombarding Lee County Circuit Judge Nicholas R. Thompson with letters pleading for Wilson’s life after a jury voted for him to face the death penalty.
‘As someone who cares unconditionally for Wade, I have deeply reflected on the gravity of the situation and impact of your decision,’ one woman from Visalia, California wrote, according to WINK.

Judge Nicholas Thompson will make the final decision on whether Wilson will be sentenced to death on July 23
Following a just one-hour and 45-minute deliberation on June 25, jurors voted 9-3 in favor of the death penalty for Melton’s murder and 10-2 for the slaying of Ruiz, meeting the State’s law requirement of at least eight jurors in favor.
Judge Thompson will now make the final decision on July 23.
Another woman from Canada told the judge she’s noticed that Wilson looks ‘healthier’ in prison.
‘If you look past his tattoos to his face structure since being in prison and medicated he is healthier, his face is fuller compared to his booking picture where his face is gaunt, pale and he looks unhealthy,’ the mother-of-two said.
A woman also asked the judge to ‘impose a lighter sentence that reflects the possibility of recovery and rehabilitation.’
The Code of Judicial Conduct prohibits judges from considering ex parte communications or other communications outside the presence of the parties concerning an impending or pending matter.
DailyMail.com contacted the 20th Judicial Circuit of Florida for comment.

Wilson was also convicted of a number of charges, including the battery of his ex-girlfriend Melissa Montanez, 41, the burglary and theft of two homes, and the grand theft auto of Melton’s car.
He began on the afternoon of October 6, 2019, when he met Melton at a live music bar and went home with her.
The stone-cold killer was arrested on October 8, where he remained behind bars without bail until he was found guilty of the murders
Wilson strangled her to death inside her home in Cape Coral the next day, where her body was found.
The same day, Ruiz was reported missing after she was seen being asked for directions by Wilson while on her walk to work.
He was driving a car he stole from Melton’s home after he murdered her, which Ruiz got into before she was also strangled to death.
In testimony from Wilson’s father, it was said that he went on to ‘run her over until she looked like spaghetti.’ Ruiz’s body was found three days later in a field behind a Sam’s Club.
The 30-year-old felon also drove to Fort Myers in Melton’s car and attacked Montanez.

Wilson added a number of tattoos since he was arrested, and his face includes several Swastika’s, menacing Joker-like mouth tattoos, and a neck tattoo reading: ‘Bred for war.’
Jurors voted to send him to death row, with Wilson seen in courtroom footage appearing emotionless as he learned his fate.
Wilson’s father Steven Testasecca, 46, said in his testimony that Wilson had been adopted as a baby because he and the killer’s mother were teenagers when they had him.
He said his contact with his son had been ‘sporadic’ since they reconnected when he turned 18, but said Wilson contacted him on October 7 after he killed Melton and Ruiz.
‘He said, ‘I’m a killer,” Testasecca said, adding that he initially believed his son was merely telling him a ‘story.’
‘He’s a good storyteller,’ he testified. Later that day, after another phone call, he said it dawned on him that his son was telling the truth.
Testasecca said his son then went into gory details of how he killed the two women, including how he choked Melton after she fell asleep.
Ruiz was also still breathing when she was repeatedly run over by Wilson, Testasecca said he was told.
‘He was excited,’ he said. ‘He was wanting me to feel the same way he was feeling… he would’ve done it again.’
Wilson fled Florida in the stolen car and drove to Ohio, where he broke into the home of Fanny and Kent Amlin, a retired couple.
He was reportedly found inside the home with a number of White Claw alcoholic seltzers.
In heartbreaking victim impact statements following Wilson’s trial, Melton’s cousin Samantha Catomer, Zane Romero, 19, one of Ruiz’s two sons, faced him.
‘Kristine will never experience motherhood, a role she was born to play,’ Catomer said.
Zane said his mother was murdered just days before he was set to debut in his school marching band, which he said she was looking forward to.
‘I never got to see her in the crowd,’ Romero said. ‘My mom will never get to see me get married.’
