History
At some point in the past, Antony hit Light's mother with his car, killing her in the process. He got off without conviction. There was speculation that the defense team had bought off the jury, which was reported in the news.

Skomal's multiple crimes without conviction lead to the media nicknaming him "the Teflon Criminal."

Plot
After a fight with his father, Light writes Skomal's name in the Death Note. While out to dinner at a restaurant, Skomal impales himself on his steak knife. He is Light's second victim, and the first victim that Light chose himself.

The next morning, Light's father James Turner gets the call letting him know of Skomal's death. He laughs during the phone call and tells his son, attributing the strange death to karma.

James later believes that Skomal is Light's first victim, which also leads him to realize that his son is Kira.
