GUILTY FL - Robert Baker, 12 & Tayten Baker, 14, murdered in home, Melrose, 26 AUG 2020 *arrest*

Also from same article answers my question above. “It is our understanding from some of our interviews with some of the individuals associated with the case that the suspect Mark Wilson was under the influence of methamphetamine and had been for several days, and we think that may have been a contributing factor to this heinous, just rageful crime,” DeLoach tells PEOPLE.”

Article states one of the boys may have been attacked while sleeping. The other victim was found in a different room (game room). They believe this occurred in early morning hours after the boys’ father had left for work as a long haul trucker. I’m guessing the first attack awoke the other boy and he attempted to get away. The horror.

Just awful. What a nightmare.

Meth does unbelievable things to the brain. This makes me sick. Those poor boys.

It's nice to help your sister out but the safety of your family should always be your #1 priority.
I wonder if they knew about his rap sheet or figured they would be safe since he hasn't been arrested for a violent crime before.
Just sad.

If the deputies are traumatized I can't begin to imagine how the family feels.

I'm not 100% sure what happened this morning, but from what I could gather, there was a scheduling issue with a juror that was addressed - something about a flight that couldn't be changed, I believe. So they are going to have to find a replacement. The other jurors were released for the day and told to return at 8:30 am tomorrow.

Defense rests in trial of man convicted in killings of Putnam County boys

The defense rested Thursday in the trial of Mark Wilson Jr., a man convicted in the killings of two young Putnam County brothers in 2020.

www.news4jax.com

Wilson was found guilty earlier this month on two counts of first-degree murder for killing 12-year-old Robert Baker and 14-year-old Tayten Baker. He was dating their aunt when the boys were stabbed and bludgeoned in their home in Melrose.

For Wilson to face the death penalty, all 12 jurors would have to make a unanimous decision.
