The former music pastor was convicted of murder in his wife’s killing, which prosecutors said he committed while having an affair.
Caleb Flynn, a former Ohio music pastor and American Idol contestant, was found guilty of his wife's murder on Tuesday. The 40-year-old father was accused of shooting Ashley Flynn in February and staging the scene to resemble a home invasion, although he claimed she was killed by a burglar. Flynn's guilty verdicts included murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence.
During the trial, Flynn's former mistress testified that he had expressed a desire to kill his wife and had wanted to keep her mistress while having his daughters to himself. Assistant Miami County prosecutor Matthew Joseph stated, "He wanted to keep his mistress and have his daughters all to himself." Flynn will face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
