Sitting on death row in 2009, John Jacobson Jr., known as the "Yacht Killer," talked about murdering married couple Thomas and Jackie Hawks to obtain the money for a sex-change surgery. Five years earlier, Jacobson lured the Hawkses on to their boat off the California coast, tied them to the vessel's anchor, and threw them overboard before grabbing a beer from the fridge and starting to fish. Roughly a decade later, Jacobson changed his name and started receiving taxpayer funds for hormone treatment. The state of California footed the bill, and Jacobson is now eligible for transition surgery, a move made possible thanks to Kamala Harris's time as California's attorney general.
