Eric Faddis and I go through the final weekend before Ashley Flynn was killed, as Caleb Flynn's former girlfriend described it under oath. Alleigha Botner testified she cut Flynn off after he blew her last deadline on January 11, 2026. On February 14, she told him she had a date in March. Two days later, Ashley was dead. Botner said that Sunday night Flynn told her he'd protect her "at all costs" and called February 16 "a day I'll never forget." She told the jury she asked for that protection because she didn't want to lose her job. Flynn, who is charged with aggravated murder, has pleaded not guilty and told police an intruder shot his wife. Faddis explains whether a jury can call that weekend a motive, and what the defense does with a witness who says all she heard was divorce.

Eric Faddis has prosecuted and defended cases built on a defendant's own words, and I asked him about the Caleb Flynn murder trial. Alleigha Botner testified for the state that Flynn first talked about wanting his wife Ashley to die after the couple's August 2025 anniversary cruise. She said the talk kept coming, at least once a month, and that it got worse each time. First, by her account, he wanted Ashley gone. Then he said he'd kill her if he could stay out of jail. Then came one late night she described to the jury in detail. Ashley Flynn was shot twice in the head while she slept on February 16, 2026, and Flynn told police an intruder did it. He has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder. Faddis explains what jurors can actually do with a man's words, and how the defense turns Botner's own words against her.

Eric Faddis and I dig into what Alleigha Botner knew, and what she did, in the Caleb Flynn case. Flynn's former girlfriend told jurors that on the eve of Ashley Flynn's shooting, she was sending him material about his phone. Her fear, she said, was that a messy divorce would expose their texts and cost her her job. The next morning, she testified, she messaged Flynn asking if he was involved in Ashley's death, got no reply, and erased her own message. She also conceded she wasn't honest with FBI agents in her first interview. Asked how she feels about Flynn, she told the jury she hates him and thinks he killed his wife. Flynn denies the aggravated murder charge. Faddis explains how a jury sorts a woman who was lied to from a witness protecting herself.

Eric Faddis and I take on two questions: did Caleb Flynn mean it, and did Bryan Kohberger understand what he signed? In the Flynn trial, Alleigha Botner testified that he told her he'd been up late thinking about ways to kill his wife, Ashley. She read the jury the text where she asked, "What can I do?" She said his final messages on February 15, 2026 ended with "tomorrow's a big day." Ashley was shot twice in the head hours later, and Flynn, who has pleaded not guilty, blamed an intruder. Botner admitted lying to the FBI and deleting messages. In Idaho, an unsealed memo shows Kohberger's defense wanted time and an expert to help communicate with him weeks before his July 2025 guilty plea. His new lawyer, Greg Rauch, is using it to try to remove the judge and withdraw the plea. Faddis gives his read on both.

Two cases. One psychotherapist. Three arguments the audience is already having.

Caleb Flynn is on trial in Miami County, Ohio, for allegedly shooting his wife Ashley while she slept. Prosecutors say he sent more than 100,000 messages to his mistress, some describing plans to kill Ashley. The defense says it was ugly talk to keep a girlfriend happy.

Bryan Kohberger confessed to killing four University of Idaho students, was sentenced to four consecutive life terms, and is now claiming the confession was forced. His family just released a public statement backing his innocence.

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony to break down what's behind the mask in both cases. Part one covers the mistress's psychology. Part two examines the worship pastor persona and the ego behind it. Part three asks whether Kohberger's family is in denial, acting on their own, or being directed from a prison cell.

Flynn has pleaded not guilty. Kohberger's hearing is set for June 2027.

Caleb Flynn's intruder story started with a frantic 911 call and an open garage door. Flynn told dispatch that somebody had broken into his Tipp City home and shot his wife Ashley. He also said their daughters were in the house, and he repeatedly directed attention toward the garage as officers were still on the way.

That is where the state's physical case pushes back. Prosecutors allege Flynn killed Ashley, then arranged the scene to look like a burglary. Ohio BCI Senior Special Agent David Hammond testified that the garage side-door damage did not resemble the forced entries he had encountered in burglary cases. Flynn has pleaded not guilty, and the defense has criticized investigators for what it describes as a fast move toward Caleb as the suspect.

The live discussion brings Robin Dreeke and Jennifer Coffindaffer into the same evidence lane: the words on the call and the condition of the door. The point is not whether a caller sounds emotional enough. The useful questions are concrete. What did he claim? What could police verify? What did the scene show when investigators finally had time to process it?

Tony also tracks the legal stakes surrounding those questions. A Miami County grand jury indicted Flynn on 11 counts, including aggravated murder, three murder counts, two felonious-assault counts, three tampering-with-evidence counts, and two intimidation counts. Ashley Flynn was 37, a coach, substitute teacher, and mother of two. The jury must decide whether the garage evidence fits an intruder entering the home or a scene prosecutors say was staged after Ashley was killed.

Bryan Kohberger admitted guilt in court, but his family now supports a challenge to that plea while alleged unredacted Idaho crime-scene photos are reaching online creators. One dispute concerns a confession he wants undone. The other concerns images the families and the state fought to keep from unrestricted public circulation.

The photo controversy escalated on September 15, 2026. The Latah County Prosecutor's Office, Moscow Police and Idaho State Police said unredacted photographs had allegedly been provided to journalists and social-media creators by an unknown source. A YouTube host with more than 9,000 subscribers had already told followers, "We have them," and said she was waiting for more.

The alleged leak came after Idaho tightened access. Judge Megan Marshall required bodies and immediately surrounding blood to be blacked out in City of Moscow releases. Idaho State Police then posted nearly 2,800 images in January 2026 before removing them the same day.

The Goncalves family said the images were live by the end of a 12-minute warning call. Idaho later exempted death-investigation photographs from public disclosure.

On September 17, Kohberger's family said it supports his effort to withdraw the 2025 plea and wants the complete truth tested through a trial. Kohberger alleges that his lawyers pushed a false confession through bad advice, false promises and threats. But during the July 2, 2025 plea hearing, he told Judge Steven Hippler that no one threatened him, no one told him to be untruthful, and he was pleading guilty voluntarily because he was guilty. He also said he was satisfied with counsel.

Kohberger has also cited hair recovered from Ethan Chapin's right hand. Defense expert Ruth Ballard had already examined one hair from that location and found it morphologically consistent with Chapin's own reference hair. The court must now decide what his new evidence can prove against the plea record, while authorities still do not publicly identify the alleged source of the unredacted images.

A restraining order, a dismissed domestic assault case, eviction proceedings, and allegations of cellphone use now sit inside the post-mistrial fight in Lindsay Clancy's case. Her lawyers want Judge William Sullivan to examine whether holdout juror Michael Desronvil answered the court's confidential questionnaire truthfully and whether anything happened during deliberations that should have triggered a judicial inquiry before the mistrial was declared.

The defense filing matters because the Massachusetts juror form specifically asks about arrests, criminal charges, lawsuits, court orders, and other contact with the legal system. Desronvil's restraining order was active when he was selected. His attorney rejects the defense effort and argues that investigating a dissenting juror after the fact threatens jury independence. Desronvil has also said he did not harbor the reasonable doubt other jurors attributed to him.

At the same time, Patrick Clancy's first major interview after the trial is forcing a different conversation. Patrick told 60 Minutes that mental illness can be 'tragically deceptive.' He described Lindsay's worsening insomnia, depression, intrusive thoughts, emergency care, and her admission to McLean Psychiatric Hospital at the end of December 2022. He said that when he later asked whether she remembered killing Cora, Dawson, and Callan, Lindsay told him it felt like a dream.

Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to separate behavior from proof. Patrick's observations cannot diagnose what Lindsay understood on January 24, and a juror's difficult personal history does not by itself establish dishonesty or misconduct. The live question is narrower and more consequential: did the court receive accurate information before this juror was seated, and did Judge Sullivan have enough reason to investigate before declaring the jury hopelessly deadlocked? That fight returns to Plymouth Superior Court on September 29.
