Caleb Flynn sentenced to life in prison for wife's murder

Caleb Flynn, the former pastor and "American Idol" contestant convicted of murdering his wife, has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. "You actions were abhorrent," the judge said while handing down sentencing. "You could've walked away, you could've separated from her and let her walk on this Earth." "You shattered their sense of security, you shattered their innocence. You took something from them they will never get back, their mother," The judge continued. Flynn was found guilty last week of shooting and killing his wife, Ashley, in their Tipp City home, then staging the scene to look like a break-in. Before being sentenced, Flynn provided a statement ahead of sentencing, addressing his daughters, parents and Ashley's family in emotional statement. Flynn ended his statement, maintaining his innocence that he did not kill his wife.
