Mistress's testimony in Ashley Flynn murder trial draws online backlash

Alleigha Botner, the mistress of Caleb Flynn, testified in his murder trial on September 23 and faced massive online backlash after parts of her testimony went viral, with many calling her an "awful person" and demanding her arrest. Botner admitted to joining Flynn in using derogatory names for his wife, Ashley, and her testimony sparked widespread condemnation on social media, with critics blaming her for contributing to Ashley's murder, though prosecutors have shown no indication of charging her. Botner met Flynn at church in 2022 and began an affair in spring 2024, using messaging apps to hide it from Ashley, and testified that Flynn promised to divorce his wife on the day she was fatally shot, though Botner now says she hates him and believes he murdered her.
