(KSL News) A Utah man accused of killing two girls in Nevada is asking a jury to spare his life.

The jury in the Beau Maestas case will hear closing arguments tomorrow in the penalty phase of the trial. Then they will deliberate whether he should get the death penalty.

Maestas is charged with stabbing the girls back in 2003. He was getting revenge for a drug deal gone bad.

This past week Maestas told jurors he's very sorry for what he did.
