KEY POINTS:
The lawyer for a California man accused of throwing a couple off their yacht bound to an anchor told a jury yesterday that 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," defence lawyer Gary Pohlson said.
"Skylar is guilty of all three murders," he said.
The concession is not the same as a guilty plea, however, and Pohlson said he will dispute some details of the prosecution case.
He urged life in prison without parole.
