A former pastor convicted of killing his two wives will be staying in jail.


Arthur Burton Schirmer did not get the appeal he asked for from the Superior Court.


Officials said Schirmer killed his first wife Jewel Schirmer in 1999 in Lebanon County and killed his second wife, Betty Jean Schirmer in 2008 in Monroe County.


Schirmer filed an appeal over the jury conviction in Betty Jean's death saying the prosecution used Jewels' death as evidence against him.


But this week, after a review of motions for an appeal brought by Schirmer, the Superior Court denied that appeal.


In rendering the decision, it was the opinion of the court that "judgment of sentence affirmed."
