A cruel and unusual event took place this Thursday during Caleb Flynn’s murder trial.
The 40-year-old former “American Idol” contestant — who’s been accused of shooting his wife Ashley Flynn in their Ohio home — apparently wrote two love songs for the young woman he was having an affair with before his wife’s death, and then produced them with AI.
Prosecutors, feeling no mercy, had the court listen to both of these cringey ballads — complete with cliche soft piano riffs, soaring anthemic choruses, and awful teenage diary lyrics — in what is perhaps the most mortifying punishment that can be inflicted on another human being.
Footage shows onlookers — including the victim’s loved ones — struggle to keep their composure, while a stone-faced Flynn, whose withered countenance grew more skull-like with each passing verse, occasionally betrayed his inner embarrassment by stroking his wrinkled forehead.
