{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Caleb Flynn’s Judge Said WHAT About Walking Away?!","description":"Judge Jeannine Pratt told Caleb Flynn there was another choice. He could have walked away from Ashley Flynn. He could have separated from her and left her alive for their daughters and the rest of her family. Instead, after a jury convicted him of all nine counts, Pratt sentenced him to life without parole.\n\nThe judge’s remarks also returned to a question from Flynn’s daughter Ava about why he hated her mother so much. Pratt said the court could not answer that question and that no answer could justify what the jury found. Flynn, who addressed the court before sentencing, continued to insist he did not kill Ashley and said he would keep fighting for his innocence. His defense plans to appeal.\n\nThe conviction came even though investigators never recovered the murder weapon. Prosecutors argued the rest of the evidence was enough: about 107,000 messages between Flynn and Alleigha Botner, Apple Watch and phone activity, location data, deleted apps, and communications the State said contradicted Flynn’s story and showed why Ashley stood in the way of the life he wanted.\n\nThe defense called no witnesses and argued the State had a bad marriage, an affair, and disturbing messages, but no direct proof that Flynn fired a gun. The jury rejected that argument after a little more than two hours of deliberation.\n\nThis combined episode follows both ends of the case: how jurors reached a conviction without finding the weapon, and how the judge framed the choices Flynn could have made before imposing the sentence that will keep him in prison for life.\n\nListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292\n\nWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
