In April 2009, Skylar Julius Deleon and Jennifer Henderson were convicted of charges relating to the murders if Thomas and Jackie Hawks, who they killed by tying them to their own boat's anchor and pushing them overboard to drown - Deleon apparently wanted the boat to sell for money to fund a sex-change operation. Deleon was also convicted of the 2003 killing another man. Deleon was sentenced to death while Henderson was sentenced to two terms of life in prison without parole. After the moratorium on the death penalty, Deleon's sentence was commuted to three life sentences. Deleon, born male, now identifies as a transgender female.
