Wade Wilson Remains on Death Row Amid Appeals and Family's Plea in Florida CasePreviousNext

Wade Wilson, convicted of murders in 2024 and featured in Netflix's 'Worst Ex Ever,' remains on death row in Florida with no execution date set. His adoptive parents, Candy and Steve Wilson, who raised him in Florida, have appealed against the death penalty citing his struggles with addiction and mental health. Wilson's legal team has filed an appeal with the Florida Supreme Court, and experts note that death penalty cases often experience lengthy delays due to multiple levels of review.
