Day 2 of Trial for Caleb Flynn, Ohio Man Accused of Shooting His Wife as She Slept
Special Agent David Hammond testified that the home showed no signs of forced entry and appeared staged as a burglary.
- On Monday, Ohio BCI Special Agent David Hammond testified that the crime scene at Caleb Flynn's home appeared staged as a burglary rather than a genuine break-in.
- Prosecutors allege Caleb Flynn killed his wife, Ashley Flynn, in February, contradicting Flynn's claim that an intruder broke into their Tipp City, Ohio home and committed the murder.
- Montgomery County Coroner's Office pathologist Bryan Casto testified Ashley Flynn suffered two gunshot wounds to the back of her head, concluding she was likely asleep and shot at close range.
- Hammond spent 12 hours collecting evidence at the scene, describing the garage door damage as "inconsistent" with the hundreds of home burglaries he had investigated throughout his career.
- The defense maintains no forensic evidence links Caleb Flynn to the shooting, and the murder weapon remains unrecovered as testimony continues this week.
