Opening Day of Caleb Flynn Trial: Affair as Motive, Battle Over Evidence

Prosecutors opened Caleb Flynn's aggravated-murder case by revealing a yearslong affair and explicit messages about killing his wife, arguing these texts establish motive and a plan to stage the crime; they pointed to digital footprints, a missing murder weapon, and actions to delete data as corroboration. The defense said there is no direct evidence tying Flynn to the killing and emphasized that motive alone isn't proof, with testimony from first responders and the expectation that the mistress, Ashley's relatives, and the couple’s daughters will testify as the two-week trial unfolds.
