Crime

When Wilson and his wife suspected a live-in friend had stolen his television, the couple held the man's family hostage at gunpoint. Wilson repeatedly raped one of the women and tortured the friend, Uwe Durbin for hours, shooting him in the knees, inviting friends to take turns beating him, and eventually shooting him to death. 

He was resentenced to death in 2010 after the state Supreme Court reversed the first sentence because a juror was improperly discharged.

In an attempt to find Uwe Durbin, defendant and Phillips went to the home of Uwe's brother, Michael Durbin.   Michael lived with his girlfriend, L.R., and their three young children.   When Michael answered the front door around 10:00 a.m., he was met by defendant pointing a gun at his head.   Defendant was screaming about some missing property;  he then pulled the telephone cord from the wall and demanded to know where he could find Uwe. Although L.R. and her children initially hid in the bedroom, Phillips found them.   Defendant entered the bedroom and told L.R. that she must follow his instructions or he would kill her and her children.   After 10 to 15 minutes, defendant told them they were all leaving with him and Phillips to go look for Uwe. Michael drove his car with defendant;  Phillips drove her car with L.R. and the children.

As they left Michael's apartment, they saw Uwe walking on the street toward his brother's house.   Defendant forced him into one of the cars at gunpoint.   Defendant demanded his property, but Uwe professed ignorance about the theft.   The group drove to several houses looking for the missing property but were unsuccessful.   Phillips suggested to defendant that they take all six victims to their home, and he agreed.
