An Oklahoma appeals court has upheld the murder convictions and life without parole sentences of two men convicted in 2009 slayings of four people, including a woman who was featured in the HBO series "Cathouse." The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals on Thursday, July 23, 2020, rejected appeals of Hogshooter and Denny Edward Phillips for the slayings that included 22-year-old Brooke Phillips, who appeared in the HBO series about the Moonlite BunnyRanch, a legal brothel in Nevada.
