Ohio trial hinges on 107,000 texts as mistress provides motive for 'Idol' alum's wife murder
Alleigha Botner, the former mistress of 'American Idol' contestant Caleb Flynn, testified for two days in his Ohio murder trial, reading excerpts from 107,000 messages that prosecutors argue establish motive for the killing of his wife, Ashley Flynn. While the defense highlights the absence of a murder weapon and eyewitnesses, prosecutors contend the texts prove Flynn's intent to kill Ashley to escape his marriage and be with Botner.
