Lawyer seeks to save his client from death
STORY TOOLS 
More from StateThe attorney for a man accused of throwing a couple off their yacht bound to an anchor told a jury Tuesday his client is guilty of those two murders and a third, but shouldn't be put to death.
"My goal is simply to save Skylar Deleon's life," defense attorney Gary Pohlson said on behalf of his 29-year-old client.
