OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) An Oklahoma appeals court has upheld the life in prison sentences of a man convicted of two counts of first-degree murder for the shotgun slayings of two men at a Sperry residence.

The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals handed down the decision Thursday in the case of Travis Lee Danley of Joplin, Mo. A Tulsa County jury found Danley guilty in the deaths of 46-year-old Michael Shawn Reeder and 45-year-old David Lujan.

Firefighters responding to a call found the men's bodies at Reeder's residence on Aug. 31, 2008.

Prosecutors say Danley fatally shot the men and then tried to cover up the shootings with the fire. He also was convicted of larceny and second-degree arson.

A call to the Public Defender's office, which represents Danley, rang unanswered Thursday evening.
