The Caleb Flynn trial was over too quickly.  I only got one video out on it. Nevertheless, I wanted to deliver this crisp recap of the evidence and the reasons Caleb is going to spend most of the rest of his life (if not all of the rest of his life) in an Ohio prison.  In this video I break down:

Why he should have kept his mouth shut
What the problems were with the physical evidence
Why he may have decided on Homicide as opposed to Divorce
Why the Prosecutors wanted the last text message seen as a Murder Announcement
Why the DNA and Fingerprint evidence was nearly useless
What issues the Defense may have in an appeal

The defense did not mount a case in chief, relying on an assertion the state did not meet its burden.  The jury sure seemed convinced.
