Jesse Timmendequas, the convicted killer of 7-year-old Megan, is now pleading for his life. Megan's killer told the jury, ``I am sorry and I pray for Megan every day. And I ask you to let me live.'' Unbelievable. Did this bum ever consider the screams and pleadings of little Megan? Think about it. Megan's killer now wants a roof over his head, three square meals, air-conditioning, a law library, cable television. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. Enough is enough. Megan's killer should be put to death. I say good night, sweet prince. Go and plead your case with the demon himself. I yield back the balance of any more of these types of crimes.
