U.S. Supreme Court Could Hear Entwistle Appeal

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court denied an appeal last year.

It has been nearly seven years since Rachel and Lillian Rose Entwistle were found dead in their Hopkinton home, but convicted murder Neil Entwistle is still appealing the case.

According to WCVB Channel 5, Entwistle's appeals lawyer has filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court.

A determination as to whether the justices will hear the case is scheduled for Jan. 11 according to WCVB. Entwistle's appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court was denied in August of last year.
