## Resource

The trial for Caleb Flynn, the “American Idol” alum accused of murdering his wife Ashley in February 2013, has officially begun—with jury selection underway. Prosecutors allege he shot her twice in the head and staged the scene to look like a robbery, while Flynn insists he’s innocent. The chilling 911 call, where he frantically described the bloodshed and begged for help, is central to the case. With opening statements still ahead, this high-stakes courtroom drama is just getting started. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
