Former Power Ranger Skyler Deleon has been sentenced to death in California for the 2004 murders of Tom and Jackie Hawks, an Arizona couple Deleon and his charming wife Jennifer Henderson offed by tying them to the anchor of their own yacht and dropping them in the Pacific Ocean. Henderson herself has received two life sentences without parole, which is probably a worse punishment than the nice long gas-induced nap Deleon will be taking. Deleon had a previous killing on his rap sheet - the 2003 slaying of a dude he met in a furlough program (shocking that a man like Deleon would be in such a program) - but got off on some cockamamie involuntary manslaughter deal after his lawyers argued he didn't mean to kill the guy but was just violent cause his daddy was a drug dealer. Think the people who let him off experienced any guilt when they learned what this piece of garbage did to that poor couple from Arizona? Eh, probably not.

Apparently he wasn't really a power ranger, he was on one episode in 1994 as an extra with a non-speaking part. That's still pretty crappy what he did though.
Pretty crappy? Ya think?
They should tie this douchebag to an anchor, thorw him in a polar bear pond and let the public watch him drown while being mauled.
I hope the family gets some closure. Good to see justice served.
Death somehow just seems too kind..if they wanted their boat, just take the boat. There was no reason to murder them too.
My heart goes out to their family also.
Crappy? Now thats the understatment of the year.
sorry, poor choice of words when I went with "crappy"
and I agree, death is too easy of a sentence.
I watched a documentary on this. He befriended them first, played on their sympathy with his kid. They were alive when he tied them to that anchor. He's a sick bastard and should die. Slowly.
Why did you call him a Power Ranger? Sensationalism.
I think when he was arrested somehow it was in the news about him being a power ranger and it never got corrected until trial time or whatever when most people were no longer glued to the story. I remember I didn't find out until 48 hours that the dude was just a kid in one part of the show and not a power ranger -- though he told people like those he killed he was a hot shot hollyweird actor. I think he helped keep the issue confused.
