Man will face death penalty in 2009 'Cathouse' killings trial in Oklahoma

A man accused of the killing of a drug dealer and three women — including two who were pregnant — will face the death penalty at trial.

Russell Lee Hogshooter, 37, will be tried on six counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy, Oklahoma County Special Judge Fred Doak ruled Tuesday.

Hogshooter is one of two men charged with the 2009 slayings in November. The other man, Jonathan Allen Cochran, 35, has pleaded guilty and is serving a 25-year prison sentence for his role.

One of the victims, 22-year-old Brooke Phillips, was a prostitute featured on “Cathouse,” a reality television show about a Nevada brothel.
