She told Farwell the baby was his. Prosecutors say his messages through that winter show he accepted it, and that she had contacted attorneys about paternity,

Caleb Flynn was convicted on all nine counts for Ashley’s murder. His 24-year-old mistress, Alleigha Botner, walked out of the courtroom without a single charge.
