    John Fitzgerald Kennedy - California Death Row


    John Fitzgerald Kennedy


    Summary of Offense:

    John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a Long Beach gang member and former youth pastor, was sentenced to death in Orange County on May 1, 2009 for his role in helping co-conspirator Skylar Deleon subdue yacht owners Thomas and Jackie Hawks in November 2004. The couple was forced to sign sales documents to their yacht before they were tied to an anchor and thrown overboard while they were still alive. The presidentially-named Kennedy signed on to the murderous mission at the last moment when Deleon promised him thousands of dollars. The crime actually netted just a few hundred.

    Second killer given death


    A Long Beach gang member convicted of killing a Newport Beach couple in 2005 was sentenced to death Friday morning.

    A judge formally sentenced John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 43, after a jury recommended the ultimate punishment in February. Fitzgerald helped ringleader Skylar Deleon and Alonso Machain deceive Tom and Jackie Hawks into letting them on their boat under the ruse they were going to buy it before they attacked the retirees and hurled them overboard tied to an anchor to drown them.

    Deleon was sentenced to death April 10 in connection with the Hawkses slayings and the killing of Jon Jarvi in 2003. Machain testified for prosecutors and was expected to strike a plea bargain to avoid the death penalty.
