'Power Rangers' actor charged in double slay

A former "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" actor and his wife were ordered yesterday to stand trial for the cold-blooded murder of a wealthy couple who were bound to an anchor and thrown overboard alive.

TV actor Skylar Deleon, 26, and wife Jennifer Henderson Deleon, 24, will face charges of murder with special circumstances, making them eligible for the death penalty, a judge ruled yesterday.

Authorities say Thomas Hawks, 57, and his 47-year-old wife, Jackie, were killed simply for their 55-foot yacht, Well Deserved.

"It's haunting to think these nice, loving people were trying to hold their breaths as they sank to the bottom of the ocean," said Santa Ana, Calif., prosecutor Matt Murphy.

"This is as cold-blooded as it gets."

Skylar Deleon allegedly hatched the murder plot after spotting the yacht for sale. During a Nov. 15 "test drive" of the boat, he and two accomplices attacked the Hawks with a stun gun.

Handcuffed and gagged with duct tape, the Hawks were promised they would live if they signed a power of attorney.

But once they did, the yacht headed out to sea, Detective Evan Sailor testified yesterday.

As he and his wife were handcuffed to a 66-pound anchor, Thomas Hawk fought back, kicking Skylar Deleon in the groin, Sailor said.

Deleon cursed, smiled and threw the anchor into the ocean, Sailor said. It dragged the couple overboard.

"I know that they put up a fight," said Thomas Hawks' son Ryan.

This is what happens when you run practice short and give them the day off. *sigh*

I'm sure the guy who died made a joke about morphing into a tiger zord, and that pissed him off for good.

Cripes. If this isn't worthy of the death penalty, nothing is.

Back to Skylar DeLeon - no such person is listed in IMDB or TV.com, on Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers or any other TV program. But here's the rub: since he's getting media attention for his fake celebrityhood, he may become an actual celebrity. That's the problem with a celebrity-based legal system - any asshole can become famous.

Postscript: I was fooling around with a smartass headline for this post, when via Technorati I found Mighty Morphin Dumbass Murdering reerun at a blog called "Garbage House". I can't beat that, so I didn't even try.

Update: Somehow I missed that one of Skylar's alleged accomplices is named John Fitzgerald Kennedy. I've always said those Kennedy's are no ****ing good.
