- Flynn’s mistress, Alleigha Botner, testified and read portions of over 100,000 text messages exchanged with Flynn, including messages expressing violent thoughts toward Ashley.
- Botner stated she urged Flynn to divorce Ashley rather than harm her and testified that she believes Flynn was responsible for the murder.
- Flynn’s defense argues there is no forensic evidence linking him to the crime and claims an intruder was responsible; the murder weapon has not been found.
