Yacht murder suspect tried sex change surgery on his own

Just when I didn’t think a weird guy could get any weirder …
Remember Skylar Deleon, the former bit child actor awaiting a death penalty trial in Orange County in the murders of a Newport Beach couple in a bizarre 2004 plot to steal their yacht, the “Well Deserved”?
Rumor had it that he was part way through a sex change before his arrest in 2005. He was – according to courtroom scuttlebutt during the 2006 headline-making trial of his wife, Jennifer Deleon– part man and part woman.
Apparently, he was too much part man for his own liking.
Deleon, who will soon be 29, somehow got a hold of a razor blade in his cell in the Orange County Jail about six months ago.
And he tried to hack off his penis.
“There was a lot of blood … but from what I understand, he was not able to complete the job,” said Damon Micalizzi, a spokesperson for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. “He was taken to the hospital and had it sewn back on.”
The emergency surgery apparently was successful.
“He’s fine, I guess, as fine as can be expected for someone who tries to do something like this to himself,” Micalizzi added.
Deleon is back in his jail cell in the Orange County jail awaiting an Aug. 26 trial date for allegedly masterminding the murders of Thomas and Jackie Hawks in a November 2004 plot to steal their 55-foot yacht.
The Hawks were forced to sign over the “Well Deserved,” and then they were tied to an anchor and thrown overboard somewhere near Catalina, according to testimony at Jennifer Deleon’s trial. Their bodies were never recovered.
Jennifer Deleon, 26, was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder for her role in luring the couple to their yacht, and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Skylar Deleon and alleged accomplice John F. Kennedy, 42, are scheduled for trial in August. Both could get the death penalty if convicted.

This guy has to be just nuts!
July 10th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
WTF?
July 10th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
This person is sicker than sick! Maybe he wants to die now.

Use it or lose it

I would be MORE than happy to help Deleon with his ’sex-change’!
“Woops, was that your juggler Skylar… my bad.”

Lorena Bobbit would probably have obliged to help this guy out.
July 10th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Wow this is horrible.
July 10th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
wasn’t this guy a child actor? What a total nut!

July 10th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
hard to imagine that a low life coward like him would have much of penis to begin with.
July 10th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
HA! If he lost it, I’m sure another inmate will be glad to give him a replacement p3nis, over and over again.

how long does moderation take?
July 10th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
He seems to go off half-cocked fairly regularly.
July 10th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Why didn’t they just leasve him alone and save the taxpayers a lot of time, trouble and money
July 10th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Hey, maybe they can arrange for that corrupt POS Carona to visit this sick dude so Carona can get some tips on how to correctly complete the “surgery” on himself. After reading today’s transcripts and reports, I doubt Mikey will need the “little sheriff” anymore!!

Perhaps they could cut him some slack–sentence him to 200 hours community service–in a Baghdad minefield with magnetic shoes.
July 10th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Hmmm, based on the headline, I thought this guy tried to kill a yacht.
July 11th, 2008 at 12:53 am
Definitely a sick mother******

One penis cutting the other off. maybe he should have taken it out to sea prior to his arrest and tossed it overboard. yacht yacht yacht!!!
July 11th, 2008 at 6:36 am
I just had to comment in here because I liked the headline.
July 11th, 2008 at 6:43 am
he’s still gonna be somebody”s bitch in prison ,they should’ve let him cutt off!
July 11th, 2008 at 10:45 am
What was he thinking?
By trying to cut off his penis.
OUCH.
He’s was probably trying to go the insanity route, if the suicide by loss of blood didn’t work.
Well, at least he will remember his foolishness, every time he has to void.

I’m guessing he figured life in a womens’ prison would be better than life in a mens’ prison. Either way, they should have just let nature takes it’s course and let him finish the job and then bleed to death.
July 12th, 2008 at 11:50 am
Let me get this straight, he killed those folks in a seriously cold-blooded way, cuts off his own dong….AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REATTACHMENT?
This is tax dollars no?
Should have been let to bleed to death.

That guy wants to depart this life now. IT is very bad for him when he thinks about that.

Cause PENIS is the proper name for the body part in topic!!!!!
People who get censored are obviously trying to say inappropiate things!
