August 20, 200521 yr A former child actor already facing trial for hijacking a yacht and throwing the owners overboard, bound to the anchor, has been charged in a second murder, prosecutors said on Friday. Skylar James Deleon, 26, who once appeared in the "Power Rangers" TV series, was accused in the second case of luring a man to Mexico in December of 2003, slitting his throat and leaving the body by the side of a road. His wife, Jennifer, and cousin Michael William Lewis, both 24, were charged with helping conceal the murder of 45-year-old John Jarvi. Police linked the Deleons to Jarvi's unsolved murder after finding that he had been incarcerated with the one-time child actor at the Seal Beach City Jail in 2003, Orange County Deputy District Attorney Susan Schroeder said. Schroeder said that the day before the murder Jarvi had cashed two $25,000 checks and made a phone call to Deleon. Two hours after the call, she said, Deleon spent $18,000 in new $100 bills at a boatyard and deposited $21,000 into a joint account with his wife. He also bought a $2,200 wedding band for her, Schroeder said. Defense attorneys for the Deleons declined to comment, saying that they had not yet seen details of the accusations. The charges were announced just three days after the Deleons were ordered to stand trial for the murders of a Newport Beach couple, Thomas and Jackie Hawks, who vanished in November of 2004 and whose bodies have never been found. Also charged in that case, which baffled police for months as they searched for the missing couple, are 40-year-old Crips gang member John Fitzgerald Kennedy and ex-jailer Alonso Machain, 21. Prosecutors say the Deleons posed as interested buyers of the 55-foot (17 meter) yacht and convinced the Hawks to take the vessel on a test run. Miles off the coast of Newport Beach, prosecutors say, Thomas and Jackie Hawks were attacked with a stun gun, handcuffed and gagged with duct tape. After signing over power of attorney to one assailant, they were tied to the boat's 66-pound (30-kg) anchor and thrown overboard. The couple was reported missing by relatives and police were led to the Deleons, who produced a bill of sale for the yacht and the power of attorney. Authorities believe the bill of sale was falsified. Police also found that Deleon had unsuccessfully tried to access the Hawks' bank account using the power of attorney. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/n.../crime_actor_dc
August 20, 200521 yr The pictures I see is that he was black, so I assume considering the racial sterotypes they used on that show he was the black ranger. I don't know what season but defiantly not the first.
August 20, 200521 yr First of all. Skylar Deleon appeared as an extra in the "Power Rangers" TV series, relatives said. Secondly I don't know if this a pic of him but he's not black (if it is a picture of him) . Link Lastly. The Power Rangers fansite :plain doesn't have him as a main character. In other new Power Rangers has lasted 562 episodes. :plain

August 20, 200521 yr This dude is no power ranger. Maybe he was an extra or something, but nobody using that last name was ever a regular cast member.

August 23, 200521 yr Oddly, the media seems to be playing that Power Ranger angle. I bet when he enters the courtroom, you'll hear the show's theme in the background somewhere.

The judge is Zordon and security guard could be Alpha.
