PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla.Disclaimer: Some may find the details included in this story to be graphic in nature. Discretion is advised.
Wilson was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Tayten Baker, 14, and his 12-year-old brother Robert Baker, who were stabbed and bludgeoned in their home in Melrose. Wilson, who was dating the boys’ aunt at the time of the slayings, is facing the death penalty if convicted. It’s the first capital murder case in Putnam County in a decade.
The analyst also testified that they found Wilson had likely handled the knife, saying the sample shows he is 55,000 times more likely to have handled the knife than someone else. “Looking again to the statement, repeated statements by the defendant regarding his actions, clearly point to an impulsive overreaction. He clearly refutes the state’s allegations in count one that this was a premeditated act,” said defense attorney Rosemarie Peoples.
