CHILD KILLER TELLS JUDGE: "I DESERVE TO DIE"

Killer

THE  man who raped and killed a seven-year-old Arizona girl has told a judge: "I deserve to die." Loretto "Kyle" Alegria, 21, beat and stabbed Rhia Almeida who was at his house for a play-date with Alegria's little brother back in June 2009.
Offered a plea agreement he told the judge "I don't deserve to live. I deserve the max."
Pima County Superior Court Judge Deborah Bernini tried to reason with him asking, "Don't you think life in prison is punishment enough?"
Alegria shook his head no, according to The Arizona Daily Star.
Judge Deborah Bernini pleaded with the killer to sign a plea agreement, agreeing to life imprisonment for the heinous killing, telling him that he was making it worse not only for Almeida's family, but also his own family, which includes his 10-year-old brother, by going through a lengthy trial.
Alegria still didn't budge, insisting he was still not going to sign the agreement, which will force a six week court case in April.
"I deserve the max," he said.
