A Power Ranger (Extra) Sentenced to Death

I have posted this story before, but now it is coming to an end.

This is bizarre

From the news:
Convicted murderer Skylar Deleon, 29, of Long Beach, Calif.,was sentenced Friday to die by lethal injection for three slayings, including the murders at sea of a couple forced to sign over ownership of their yacht, then tied to an anchor and thrown overboard.

Thomas and Jackie Hawks, who were living aboard their 16-metre yacht, called the Well Deserved, were murdered on Nov. 15,2004, after showing the boat to Deleon. The couple had hoped to sell the boat and move to Arizona to help raise their newborn grandson.

Deleon's five-week trial ended in November, when he was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder. During closing arguments, prosecutor Matt Murphy called the murders" diabolical and heartless," saying Deleon showed no remorse and was after money.

He was behind bars when he persuaded fellow inmate Jon Peter Jarvi, 45, of Anaheim, Calif., to give him more than $50,000, purportedly to take part in an investment opportunity. Instead, Deleon later killed Jarvi in Mexico by slashing his throat and leaving him to die at the side of a road.

Skylar was a Power Ranger extra. He said he killed the couple so he could use the money for a sex change...sad stuff.

NO, NO Power Ranger!

Time to lay hands on this young man. Skylar Deleon or the Black Ranger was convicted of murdering three people, including a couple who were tied to an anchor and thrown off their yacht off the California coast.

Deleon's attorney Gary Pohlson told reporters that he plans to convince the jury to spare his client's life by having Deleon's relatives and doctors testify during the punishment phase about his troubled past.

"He's had a horrible, horrible life," Pohlson said, noting that Deleon's father abused him and later died of AIDS.

Tom and Jackie Hawks were thrown from their yacht in 2004 during a cruise to show the vessel to Deleon, whom they believed was a prospective buyer.

Deleon was also found guilty of murdering Jon Jarvi, of Anaheim, in 2003. Prosecutors had said Deleon met Jarvi in a work furlough program while serving jail time for burglary, and killed him in Mexico after Jarvi gave him $50,000.

Prosecutors said Deleon feigned interest in buying the boat and took a test cruise where he and two other men overpowered the Hawkses, forced the couple to sign over ownership of the boat, tied them to the anchor and dumped them into the Pacific Ocean.

The Hawkses' bodies were never found.
