Caleb Flynn, ex-‘American Idol’ singer, to be sentenced for wife’s murder
A former music pastor in Ohio who appeared briefly on “American Idol” is set to be sentenced after a jury convicted him last week of murdering his wife while he was having an affair. Forty-year-old Caleb Flynn could get up to life in prison without the chance of parole on Monday. Prosecutors say he staged a home invasion in February after shooting his wife, Ashley Flynn, a 37-year-old schoolteacher and volleyball coach. He claimed she was killed by a burglar.
When he appeared on “American Idol” in 2013, Flynn credited his wife for encouraging him to chase his dreams on the show. He did not advance to the main competition.
