- During the trial, Alleigha Botner testified Flynn expressed hatred for his wife, while prosecutors presented AI-generated love songs and DNA evidence placing him at the scene.
- He sent a text to his lover the night before the shooting, saying, "I choose you. Actions will come tomorrow," and was found guilty last week of murder and tampering with evidence.
- While Flynn faces up to life in prison without parole, his attorney maintains investigators found no evidence he fired a gun, arguing a burglar killed his wife in Tipp City.
