- American Idol Alum Guilty of Murder - Life Without Parole
Caleb Flynn thought he could murder his wife, stage a break-in and convince police an intruder was responsible.
But his own words and devices helped expose the lie.
In this follow up episode looking at the American Idol Alum and former pastor accused of murder, we look at the conviction and sentencing of Caleb Flynn.
A jury found him guilty of murdering his wife Ashley in the middle of the night, whilst she was feet away from their children.
Together, Kayla Brantley and Rachel Bowman break down the evidence used against him in court, including AI generated love songs made for his mistress, and a digital footprint the prosecution used to discredit his story.

26 min - The Cornell 7 - Why Weren't There Charges?
Seven fraternity members have been accused of sexually assaulting a female student at Cornell University in 2024. But despite the alleged incident being reported nearly two years ago, no criminal charges were brought forward.
Now, New York’s attorney general has taken over the Cornell fraternity sexual assault investigation, placing the university’s response and the original decision not to prosecute under renewed scrutiny.
In this episode Kayla is joined by senior investigative reporter Dana Kennedy to examine Jane Doe’s civil lawsuit, which put the allegations under the spotlight. They review the alleged Snapchat messages at the centre of the controversy, and the dispute over what evidence reached prosecutors. They also explain the different disciplinary outcomes for the accused, known as the “Cornell 7”, the public denials from three men’s lawyers, and how New York’s intoxication law could shape the next stage of the case.

24 min - The Trial of Lindsay Clancy - “Where is the evidence?”
Eleven jurors favoured finding Lindsay Clancy not criminally responsible for killing her three children, but one juror believed she was guilty. Unable to reach a unanimous verdict, that deadlock caused a mistrial. Now, during hearings which could pave the way for a potential future retrial, her lawyer has made a startling argument: he claimed that prosecutors never proved she killed her children at all.
In this episode Rachel and Luke unpack the dramatic battles unfolding in the courtroom during Lindsay Clancy’s latest court hearings, and explain exactly what this means for the case going forward.
With Lindsay Clancy’s lawyers seeking to block a second trial and investigate the holdout juror, could the judge bring the case to an end, or will another jury be asked to decide her fate?

36 min - American Idol Alum Accused of Murder
Former American Idol contestant and pastor Caleb Flynn is on trial in Ohio, accused of murdering his wife, Ashley, inside their family home in Tipp City while their two daughters slept nearby.
Prosecutors allege Flynn staged the scene to look like a break-in following a long-running affair, while his defence argues investigators developed tunnel vision and lacked the evidence needed to prove he fired the fatal shots.
Caleb Flynn denies the allegations and has pleaded not guilty.
In this episode Luke Kenton is joined by Natasha Anderson, who has been watching the trial unfold in Miami County Court.

As the defence rests its case and the prosecution begins its rebuttal, we examine the opposing conclusions of both side’s psychiatric experts, battling in court over whether or not Lindsay Clancy should be responsible for killing her three children.
