Yeah, Georgia.

So uh Caleb Flynn is a former 40-year-old worship pastor who was on the 12th season of American Idol back in 2013.

He got as far as Hollywood week when he didn't make it any further.

Now, on February 16th of this year, he frantically called 911 and reported that an intruder had broken into their home and shot his.

37-year-old wife Ashley, while she had been sleeping.

And he said he was in his daughter's bedroom, that he had been sleeping in there because he had a cough.

But prosecutors say that all of this was a ruse, that he staged this scene, and that when investigators uh arrived, they found no evidence of a break-in, and that a handgun that Flynn had kept in his truck had gone missing that night.

So they say

That Flynn shot Ashley twice in the back of the head while she was sleeping.

And during that investigation, it came out that Flynn was carrying on an affair with another staffer at this church.

That was Alia Bottner, who he first met in 2022 when she was a 20-year-old intern.

And they then began an affair in 2024.

Yeah, John.

So uh investigators found over 100,000 messages between the two of them.

So that many text messages, about 300 a day.

And in them, Flynn said that he hated his wife.

He called her names like slut and explicitly wished for her death.

So this was what Bottner said on the stand.

Call her a whore?
