The high court on Monday rejected Neil Entwistle's request to review hiscase.

Entwistle was convicted in the 2006 fatal shootings of his wife, Rachel, andtheir 9-month-old daughter, Lillian.

Prosecutors argued at trial that Entwistle killed his wife and daughterbecause he was upset about his failure to find a job and growing debt.
