Tom and Jackie Hawks, a couple bound to the anchor of their yacht and tossed overboard four years ago. Opening statements in the case of former child actor Skylar Deleon, who is accused of killing the couple, are expected to begin Oct. 7, 2008.

In semi-related news, the final episodes of “Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers” have just finished filming in Henderson, New Zealand. After these, I understand that there are no more.

Much like the name Wayne as a middle name, the name Skylar is a curse to a life in jail or death sentence.

For the record, the guy appeared on one episode of Power Rangers and had no lines. He wasn’t much more than an extra.

I think this crime deserves the death penalty.

Who allows themselves to be tied to an anchor?? You’ve got a gun, fine shoot me, I ain’t going along with being tied to an anchor so I can drown.

Crappy, crappy reporting. A single 15 second Google search shows the guy was in only 1 episode of Power Rangers, not as a ranger but as supporting cast “Roger.”

But oh no, Fox has to pretend that an actual Ranger has soiled our kids’ memories.

F’n losers.

In keeping with current democrat dogma, Durban and Emanuel are to blame.

Bear in mind the story on the left is that Beck and O'Reilly are to blame for the shootings last week. Leftists claim hysterics from both caused the killer's despair.

Now comes an actor from a series that made the producer Haim Saban a bazillionaire. Saban of the large, massive democrat donor base made contributions to many fringe leftists.

Google also says that the killer’s dad was gay, died of AIDS, abused his kid, and did drugs.

The defense had pleaded with jurors to help spare his client's life, arguing Deleon was abused by a drug dealing father and abandoned by his mother, leaving him predisposed to violence.

Good thing I wasnt on the jury. This argument would probably have infuriated me all the more.
