During the trial, prosecutors exposed a year-long affair between Flynn and a 24-year-old worship leader named Alleigha Botner. Testimony and text messages revealed that Flynn had fantasized and plotted about killing his wife to get out of the marriage, sending messages detailing how he had spent hours thinking of ways to murder her without getting caught.
