Former Power Ranger accused -- UPDATED

A child-star who ~~played one of the Power Rangers~~ (see update) is going on trial for tying a wealthy couple to the anchor of their yacht and tossing them overboard.

A former child actor and his wife were ordered to stand trial on Tuesday for the murder of a wealthy California couple who, prosecutors say, were tied to the anchor of their yacht and thrown overboard alive, never to be seen again.
Orange County Superior Court Judge John Conley ordered 26-year-old Skylar Deleon, who once starred in the "Power Rangers" TV series, and his wife, 24-year-old Jennifer Henderson Deleon, to stand trial for the murders after a two-day preliminary hearing in Santa Ana, south of Los Angeles.

Update: Gordon sez, "This guy was never a Power Ranger. He was an unspeaking extra in 2-3 episodes, but he never donned a suit or said a word. He was NOT a Power Ranger."
