BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of an Idaho man convicted of killing a man outside of a strip club in the western North Dakota oil patch hub of Williston.

Jonathan Horvath is serving life in prison without parole for the March 2013 shooting death of 28-year-old Derrick Spiegel of Williston. Horvath had moved to Williston from Sandpoint, Idaho, to find work in the oil patch.

Horvath appealed his convictions for murder, terrorizing and reckless endangerment. Supreme Court justices rejected his arguments of insufficient evidence and improper actions by a prosecutor.
