Double Murder Trial for Skylar Deleon Begins
Skylar Deleon rose to fame playing one of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers super heroes. He was charged with murdering Thomas and Jackie Hanks aboard their yacht in 2004. Jury selection for that trail began on Monday in Santa Ana, California.
Selection began Monday in Orange County Superior Court in Santa Ana. Skylar Deleon is charged with murdering an Arizona couple in 2004 while feigning interest in their 55 foot-yacht.
Prosecutors say he forced Thomas and Jackie Hawks to sign over ownership of the boat before tying them to an anchor and throwing them overboard.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Deleon, who also faces charges of killing a man in 2003.
His ex-wife Jennifer Deleon Henderson was convicted for her part in the murders back in 2006 and sentenced to two life sentences.
