Jury selection continues for the trial of two men accused of shooting four people to death, including a prostitute featured on the HBO reality series "Cathouse."

Prospective jurors were questioned for a second day Tuesday in the trial of Denny Edward Phillips and Russell Lee Hogshooter. Both are charged with first-degree murder in the Nov. 9, 2009, deaths of TV celebrity Brooke Phillips, Milagros Barrera, Jennifer Lynn Ermey and Casey Mark Barrientos.

Denny Phillips and Hogshooter are charged with six counts of first-degree murder because Brooke Phillips and Barrera were both pregnant. They have pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Brooke Phillips, who wasn't related to Denny Phillips, was featured on the cable network's show about the Moonlite BunnyRanch, a legal brothel near Carson City, Nevada.
