Former 'American Idol' contestant sentenced to life in prison without parole for wife's murder

Caleb Flynn, a former "American Idol" contestant and Ohio pastor, was sentenced on Monday to life in prison without parole for murdering his wife Ashley Flynn. The 40-year-old was convicted last week of aggravated murder and related charges after a trial revealed he had staged the shooting as a home invasion while having an affair with Alleigha Botner, a church intern. Prosecutors argued that Flynn, who initially claimed a burglar killed his wife, manipulated evidence at their Tipp City home north of Dayton to make it look like a break-in and called 911 shortly after the shooting. Despite maintaining his innocence throughout the proceedings, Flynn expressed remorse for hurting his family during emotional statements in court.
