 On July 24, 2013, a Brooklyn federal jury sentenced Wilson to death for the 2003 murders, reinstating the previous death sentence that was thrown out in 2010.During his direct appeal, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals remanded the case to the district court with direction to reconsider, in light of an intervening Supreme Court case, the district court’s earlier ruling that Wilson is not intellectually disabled.On March 15, 2016, Judge Garaufis concluded that Wilson was mentally handicapped, making him ineligible for the death penalty under the Eighth Amendment.
