Two men are going to spend some hard time due to the deaths of two Myrtle Beach women.

The Sun News of Myrtle Beach is reporting that 40-year-old Jimmy Lee Sessions was sentenced Friday to life in prison for murder and 30 years for burglary and armed robbery.

30-year-old Christopher Stephens was sentenced to 40 years on an accessory to murder charge and 30 years for accessary to armed robbery.

The men say they are innocent. They originally went to trial in November, but the jury in that case deadlocked, so a mistrial was declared.

Prosecutors say the two men planned to rob and kill 24-year-old Jamila Hytower, who they say sold drugs. Hytower and 20-year-old Monica Wall were found dead at their shared home.
