"Authorities in Ohio have arrested a former contestant on "American Idol" and charged him with shooting and killing his wife and staging the crime scene to mislead investigators. Caleb Flynn, 39, pleaded not guilty Friday to charges of murder, assault and tampering with evidence. "I just want to take care of my daughters. I'm not a risk," he told Judge Samuel Huffman in a video of his arraignment from jail. The judge set his bond at $2 million."
"Ashley Flynn, 37, was found dead Monday after officers received a report of a burglary and shooting at a Tipp City home, according to a news release by Tipp City Police. Her husband and two children were inside the home when officers arrived. In a 911 call released by authorities, a frantic Caleb Flynn tells a dispatcher someone broke into his home and killed his wife."
"His attorney, Patrick Mulligan, said in a statement on Saturday he and Flynn were "disappointed and concerned about the short timeline and seeming rush to judgment in this case." Police arrested Flynn on Thursday. "When the government runs out of leads or can't develop leads and looks at a surviving spouse in cases such as these, the chance of a wrongful conviction increases," the statement said."
