The prosecution alleged that Flynn, who appeared on American Idol back in 2013, shot his 37-year-old wife while she slept in their bedroom at their home in Tipp City, Ohio, in February. He's also accused of staging a home invasion to cover for the alleged murder. During the court proceedings, it was revealed that the pastor was having an affair with 24-year-old Alleigha Botner, and the two exchanged text messages admitting that Flynn wanted his wife dead.
On Sept. 29, an Ohio court found the 40-year-old guilty on all nine charges against him. They included aggravated murder and tampering with evidence, according to Fox News. Footage from the moment the verdict was revealed shows the former American Idol hopeful losing his composure and openly weeping as the court issued its ruling.
