This morning, convicted killer Wade Wilson, was adjudicated guilty and sentenced for one count of Attempted Trafficking in Amphetamine or Methamphetamine 28 Grams – 200 Grams, a Second-Degree Felony, and one count of Conspiracy to Traffic in Amphetamine or Methamphetamine, a First-Degree Felony.
He pled no contest to the charges and was sentenced as follows:
Count 1: Attempted Trafficking in Amphetamine or Methamphetamine 28 Grams – 200 Grams: 12 years in prison, ordered to pay a $50,000 State fine, court costs, cost of prosecution, $100 fine to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE)
Count 2: Conspiracy to Traffic in Amphetamine or Methamphetamine: 12 years in prison, ordered to pay court costs, cost of prosecution, $100 fine to FDLE
The sentences are to be served concurrent with the two death sentences he received Tuesday for his conviction in June of two counts of First-Degree Murder.
This drug case began in 2023 when the defendant survived an overdose on drugs while in custody at the Lee County Jail. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation, that included the review of jail mail correspondence, which revealed a conspiracy to traffic illegal drugs.
There are four co-defendants with pending cases.
Assistant State Attorney Olivia Ferrell is the prosecutor handling the cases.
