Caleb Flynn, a pastor who once competed on the television singing competition American Idol, was found guilty of murdering his wife by a jury on Tuesday, according to CBS News reporter Lana Zak.

The verdict was delivered in a courtroom in the state where the crime occurred, with the jury reaching a unanimous decision after reviewing evidence presented during the trial.

Flynn, who had previously gained national attention as a contestant on the popular singing show, had been on the run for several months before his arrest.

He faced charges of first‑degree murder, and the jury’s conviction means he will now face sentencing, which could include a lengthy prison term.

Details of the case, including the motive and the circumstances surrounding the death, were not disclosed in the brief report.
