Mistress of 'American Idol' Alum Caleb Flynn Testifies in Murder Trial

tmz.com —

Caleb Flynn's mistress, Alleigha Botner, broke down in tears Thursday while testifying in his murder trial, reading a text where she told the "American Idol" alum she wanted to kill his wife. She sobbed, saying she didn't mean it. Botner read the message "I want to kill her, Caleb," and Flynn's chilling reply, "That makes two of us." Flynn is on trial for allegedly murdering his wife, Ashley, who was shot twice in the head in their Ohio home in February while their two young children slept nearby. Prosecutors allege Flynn staged the scene to look like a break-in, citing disturbing texts sent the night before, including "I choose you. I'm free." Flynn's defense argues there is no direct evidence linking him to the murder.
