Defense Counsel Admits Client's Guilt in Opening Statement in Attempt to 'Save' Defendant, Former Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Actor, From Death Penalty. Pohlson told a jury Tuesday that Skylar Deleon killed Arizona couple Tom and Jackie Hawkins, who were thrown off their yacht and bound to an anchor. He also killed another man he met in a work furlough program, Pohlson admitted. But the lawyer argued his client should not die for his crimes.
