Former American Idol contestant and worship pastor Caleb Flynn allegedly sent more than 100,000 messages to his mistress in the year before his wife Ashley was found shot to death inside their Tipp City, Ohio, home. Prosecutors say some of those texts contained direct thoughts about killing Ashley without going to jail. The defense says he was just telling the other woman what she wanted to hear, and points to warm, loving messages Flynn was sending Ashley during the same period.
