Former ‘American Idol’ contestant charged with murder, staging crime scene in wife’s slaying in Ohio

Authorities in Ohio have arrested and charged a former contestant on “American Idol” with shooting and killing his wife and staging the crime scene to mislead investigators. Caleb Flynn pleaded not guilty Friday to charges of murder, assault, and tampering with evidence. According to Miami County jail and court records, he was arrested on Thursday, three days after his wife’s death in Tipp City. His attorney, Patrick Mulligan, said in a statement on Saturday he and Flynn were concerned about a “seeming rush to judgment in this case.”
