Sentencing Hearing Underway
Caleb Flynn tearfully addressed the court during his sentencing hearing on Monday, maintaining his innocence and stating that he did not kill his wife, Ashley. Flynn faces a sentence of life without parole after a 12-person jury found him guilty on nine charges, including aggravated murder, murder, and tampering with evidence. [1]
Family Impact Statements and Trial Context
During the proceedings, victim impact statements were delivered by Ashley’s sister, her brother-in-law, and statements from Caleb and Ashley’s daughters were read to the court. Ashley’s parents also addressed Caleb directly during the hearing. A jury previously deliberated for just over two hours before reaching the guilty verdict following a trial in Miami County. [1]
Legal Defense Plans
Defense attorney Patrick Mulligan spoke to reporters following the verdict, stating that the defense plans to file an appeal while noting that Flynn stands by his innocence. Judge Pratt previously ordered that Flynn must register on the state's Violent Offender Registry if he is ever released from prison. [1]
