A woman donated a whopping $24,000 to a fundraiser aimed at saving convicted killer Wade Wilson from the death penalty and affording him a new defense team.
In total, the "Save Wade Steven Wilson" FUNDLY campaign has raised more than $70,000 among 370 donors, at press time.
"This campaign is not a debate about innocence or guilt but about the right to a fair and objective trial," the fundraiser description read.
"The public has raised serious concerns about the integrity of his initial trial, including potential miscarriages of justice and a failure by his legal team to adequately challenge the prosecution's case. This case emphasizes the importance of providing every individual the opportunity for a fair trial regardless of the charges against them."
A donor by the name of Jennette gave the largest five-figure donation, earlier this month. Trailing behind Jennette is an anonymous donation of $10,000.
"Stay strong Wade! we will help you! <3," a supporter wrote in the comments section.
"You have so much love and support," a backer chimed. "Wade absolutely deserves the best legal representation and healthcare for his mental healthcare and rehab."
"I'd love to be able to talk with him cos [sic] I know he deserves a second chance and no death penalty," another confessed in the comments.
Wilson was convicted of the 2019 double murders of Cape Coral, Florida women Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, in June.
His case gained national attention earlier this year after scores of women agreed he was attractive, prompting admirers to flood the killer's inbox with thousands of love letters.
"As someone who cares unconditionally for Wade, I have deeply reflected on the gravity of the situation and the impact of your decision," Heidi Cox of Visalia, California previously wrote, according to The Independent. "While I understand the severity of the crime committed, I believe that a life sentence would allow Wade the opportunity to reflect, repent, and contribute positively within the confines of prison."
Wilson's sentencing hearing is slated for Tuesday, where a judge will announce whether or not he will follow the jury's death penalty recommendation.
