"It Didn't Look Right to Me": Caleb Flynn Trial — The Door Evidence (Part 1)
Faizi's Docket

"It didn't look right to me." That's Ohio BCI Special Agent David Hammond, the state's crime scene investigator, describing the garage door at the Caleb Flynn murder scene.
Caleb Flynn is on trial in Miami County, Ohio, for the murder of his wife, Ashley Flynn. Prosecutors allege he staged the scene to look like a home invasion; Flynn has pleaded not guilty. In this video — Part 1 of our breakdown of the physical-evidence testimony — you hear Special Agent Hammond's full direct examination on the one piece of evidence the state's entire "staged burglary" theory rests on: the door.
Hammond walks the jury through the front door (no signs of forced entry), the garage door and the refrigerator pinned against it, how the damage compared to "the hundreds of burglaries" he's worked, the strike plate found outside, and the bend in it that — in his words — "something has been used against this to bend it pretty well."
This is the state's own witness, in his own words. The defense's cross-examination is not in this footage and will be covered separately once it's available.
