American Idol Alum Accused of Murder

Former American Idol contestant and pastor Caleb Flynn is on trial in Ohio, accused of murdering his wife, Ashley, inside their family home in Tipp City while their two daughters slept nearby.

Prosecutors allege Flynn staged the scene to look like a break-in following a long-running affair, while his defence argues investigators developed tunnel vision and lacked the evidence needed to prove he fired the fatal shots.

Caleb Flynn denies the allegations and has pleaded not guilty.

In this episode Luke Kenton is joined by Natasha Anderson, who has been watching the trial unfold in Miami County Court.
