WATCH LIVE | Jurors reach verdict in Caleb Flynn trial

Key Points:

• A jury has reached a verdict in the murder trial of Caleb Flynn, a former pastor and "American Idol" contestant accused of killing his wife, Ashley, who was found dead in their Tipp City home in February.
• Flynn faces nine charges including aggravated murder, three counts of murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence; the prosecution emphasized Flynn's cell phone activity and alleged motive during closing arguments.
• Key evidence included testimony from Flynn's former mistress, Alleigha Botner, who read over 100,000 exchanged text messages expressing hatred toward Ashley and discussing plans to be together, including a message where both expressed a desire to kill Ashley.
• The defense challenged the prosecution's evidence, highlighting the absence of physical evidence such as gunshot residue tests, blood on Flynn or his clothing, and the failure to recover the murder weapon; they also questioned Botner's credibility and motives.
• The trial featured numerous witnesses called by the state, including investigators and family members, while the defense did not present any witnesses, focusing instead on undermining the prosecution's case.
