Jurors deliberated a little over two hours before convicting Flynn on aggravated murder, three counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault and three counts of tampering with evidence, along with attached gun specifications. The station's Karin Johnson covered the trial from start to finish and carried the verdict live.
The conviction closes out a case that drew attention well beyond the courtroom because of Flynn's public profile. For Ashley Flynn's family, the swift verdict delivers an answer after a trial that put the details of her death in front of a jury. Prosecutors argued in the tampering charges that Flynn tried to cover up what happened after the shooting, on top of the murder and assault charges themselves.
A man once known for singing on national television and preaching from a pulpit now faces sentencing as a convicted murderer.
