1Opinion of the Court

BOEHM, Justice.

James R. Rawley was convicted of the murders of Renee Rawley and Kristina Jenkins and was sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment without parole to run consecutively. In this direct appeal Raw-ley contends that the trial court erred by: (1) admitting statements he gave to police while in custody and (2) failing to comply with statutory and decisional law requirements in imposing his sentences of life without parole. We affirm the convictions, but remand for a new sentencing order.
