An ex forensic psychologist has shared their thoughts on Wade Wilson's 'true feelings' when he was sentenced to death.

The 30-year-old from Canada - nicknamed 'Deadpool Killer' for sharing the same name as the character in the Marvel movie - was found guilty of murdering two women in Florida, US, in 2019.

He strangled Kristine Melton, 35, to death in her Cape Coral home and stole her car.

That same day, Wilson met Diane Ruiz, 43, who asked him for directions. He invited her into the vehicle and didn't let her out.

Wilson strangled Ruiz and threw her out of the car, telling the court that he 'ran her over until she looked like spaghetti'.

“I choked her out until she couldn’t breathe anymore,” Wilson told police. “I came across my mind to murder, just kill, kill, kill.”

After several hearings, 10 out of the 12 jurors subsequently voted for Wilson to receive the death penalty.

Dr John Paul Garrison took to his YouTube channel 'Dr. G Explains' to break down Wilson's body language when he was sentenced on 27 August.

He suggested that his 'casual' and nonchalant reaction was in fact an indicator that the killer was feeling 'a lot of anxiety and stress'.

"You're seeing him swallowing which means that he's got a lot of anxiety right now, you're also seeing him look around everywhere," Dr G said of his heavy breathing.

"The leaning back is an attempt to counterbalance how he's feeling."

As Wilson looked back at each juror, the body language expert thinks he was trying to be 'intimidating' towards them.

"He wanted to intimidate, he wanted to scare the jury, he wanted to feel powerful in these moments because this is a very real situation where he doesn't have any power," he added.

"The amount of control that's lost right here is almost too much to bear. It's so significant for somebody like this to be on the receiving end of having no control."

Meanwhile, of Wilson's sentencing, 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."

“This case was about killing for the sake of the killing,” Assistant State Attorney Andreas Gardiner previously told the court.

“Strangulation is the epitome of life slipping through someone’s hands.”

Wilson is now being held at the Lee County Jail in Fort Myers, Florida, pending unrelated charges before he'll be transferred into the prison system and moved to death row at Union Correctional Institution.
