Two Guilty Verdicts in "Cathouse" Murders

Jurors convicted the two remaining men charged in the 2009 “Cathouse” slayings on all counts related to the murders of an Oklahoma City drug dealer and three women.

The Oklahoma County jury deliberated for three hours Monday evening after listening to a full day of closing arguments in the death penalty trial.

“Six people were gunned down and slaughtered,” Assistant District Attorney Gayland Gieger told the jurors during his closing argument. “This is one of the most violent crimes I've ever seen. Actions of sheer evil were involved that night.”

Denny Edward Phillips, 38, of Salina, and Russell Lee Hogshooter, 38, of Oklahoma City, each were convicted of six counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy.
