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.

“But the lawyer argued his client should not die for his crimes.”
Translates as “the SOB still owes me money”.

If the death penalty was ever appropriate for anyone it’s this turkey and hopefully this sleazy lawyer won’t make a dime from this.

At least he is honest. With CA death penalty cases however he will live to be 100 on the tax payer dime.

This was so horrible. I can’t imagine how it flet to be tied to an anchor and thrown overboard...alive. This case has been going on for years and if this guy isn’t snuffed...along with his buddies, there is no justice.

I’d say all of them based on the picture, but I believe it is the guy kneeling down in front. The woman on the left (his wife) is serving life for the murder.

This double murder was clearly premeditated and the low-life murderer should get the death penalty. California needs to crank up the number of death penalties actually carried out; they are slow to administer justice. It’s not fair to the victims’ families to drag it out so long.
To: Deb
The convicted criminal should be returned to the scene of the crime, bound to an anchor and dropped in the same location. No SCUBA gear. Just what he allowed his victims.

He had a tiny role in one episode.

Skylar Deleon was NOT a Power Ranger. He was an uncredited extra, at best.

The guy is not one of the power rangers, he was on the show only one time. I think as an extra or something. I looked it up yesterday because I wanted to know which one he was also.

Isn't it amazing that in California it takes 25 yeas to execute someone. But the Feds can do it in a matter of weeks. Tim McVeigh
