There are many reasons to not cheat on your wife, but this one takes the cake.
As the Caleb Flynn murder trial continues, in which the American Idol alum is accused of murder in the death of his 37-year-old wife Ashley Flynn, the jury and courtroom were subjected to two songs he made for his mistress, Alleigha Botner (not pictured above).
The lyrics were written by Caleb, but the music itself was generated by AI — and this time “AI” means artificial intelligence, not American Idol.
When they were played for the jury, the cameraman caught the reactions of everyone in that courtroom, and well, you can watch for yourself to see how people reacted:
@allykins843 All that talent #CalebFlynn #fyp #trial #ohio #crime
There were two songs, and the lyrics seemed to reference Caleb and Alleigha’s age gap, anniversary, and more. Watch the first one in full here:

As we reported in February, Ashley Flynn was killed in her Tipp City home during what, at first, appeared to be a home invasion. A 911 call revealed Caleb claiming he found Ashley shot twice in the head in the bedroom. He started the call saying:
“Oh my God, somebody broke into my home. Somebody broke into my home and shot my wife. … There’s blood everywhere.”
He also claimed he was “with the children when it happened,” adding that his daughters were in their bedroom and not awake at the time. Breaking into sobs, Caleb then informed the dispatcher that Ashley wasn’t breathing:
“Ashley, Ashley baby, baby please. Oh my god. There’s so…she’s not…”
Listen to the whole audio (below):
Once police arrived at the home, they found Ashley shot in the head with two shell casings on the floor. One responding officer noted the side door to the garage was open, but the report indicated a large fridge was in front of it, which would have had to have been pushed to get the door open. Police also said the center console of a truck parked in the garage was open. Caleb told an officer that that was where he kept his handgun.

So, as we mentioned, law enforcement initially believed someone broke into the Flynn family home and shot Ashley to death, but ultimately they steered their suspicions toward Caleb. He was arrested and charged with one count of murder, two counts of felonious assault, and two counts of tampering with evidence. He’s accused of shooting Ashley with a 9mm handgun and staging the crime scene, causing officers to be led astray.
Back in 2013, Caleb tried out for American Idol during Season 12, where he gushed about his wife during a hometown interview segment, saying:
“I absolutely love the Lord. I love my wife more than anything. She is very, very pretty. … I love her. But, you know, I’m just a normal person who absolutely loves to sing more than anything in the world.”
Per Joseph Wilhelm, a special agent at Ohio BCI (Bureau of Criminal Investigation), an AI-generating music app was deleted from Caleb’s phone days prior to Ashley’s death.
He maintains his innocence.
