Under policies and precedents set under then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris, a trans-identified male murderer who in 2004 killed a married couple in an attempt to obtain money for a sex-change surgery has succeeded at achieving such procedures at the taxpayers’ expense.
On November 15, 2004, Thomas and Jackie Hawks boarded their yacht with John Jacobson Jr, who now goes by Skylar Deleon. Jacobson had reached out to the married couple to purchase their boat, according to the Washington Free Beacon. The ship left a dock on the California coast, after which Jacobson attacked the couple using a stun gun. Jacobson tied the couple to the ship’s anchor and forced them to sign over their bank account information and title to the boat.
After receiving the documents, Jacobson, as well as accomplices, threw the couple overboard. Jacobson and accomplices fished and drank beer from the boat before returning to port. The brutal murder of the Hawkses gave Jacobson the nickname “Yacht Killer.” Jacobson was convicted in 2008 for the killings of the Hawkses as well as an additional man in Mexico, his former cellmate, which police later linked to Jacobs. In the murder of the former cellmate, Jacobson was able to get $50,000.
In a letter sent to the Washington Free Beacon, dated January 17, Jacobson wrote, “I did receive Gender Affirming Surgery and Breast Augmentation on April 5, 2023. I began transitioning when I first got to San Quentin. I started hormones in 2009 shortly after being evaluated.”
“Next, I have changed my name back to Skylar Deleon and I changed my middle name to Sohpia. Just a name I have always loved. My transitioning was definitely tough but I have made it.”
Speaking with ABC News in 2009 from death row, Jacobson said that the inmate had attempted to self-amputate the inmate’s genitalia. “I basically took a sheet and tied it around my lower extremity … I tied it around and I went to cut it off,” Jacobson said at the time.”
