00:00I love you too, Melissa, my mother, with absolutely everything inside me.
00:07Please know your daddy is so proud of you and loves you beyond what words can describe.
00:16Mommy was the perfect person, the absolute perfect person.
00:21What did she ever do to make you hate her so much?
00:25She loved you and she cared for you.
00:28She took care of you.
00:30She loved you with all her heart.
00:33She was my best friend.
00:36And then you chose to kill the only mother I ever had.
00:39I miss her so much.
00:41You and Aaliyah sinned big time, but you still have a chance to tell God that you are sorry.
00:48I pray every night for you and Aaliyah to confess to Jesus that you sinned.
00:53As I stand here before God, who is my ultimate judge, I am not lying.
01:02When I say I did not owe my wife, I will continue to fight for my innocence as long as
01:12the Lord allows me to.
01:14Your actions, Mr. Flynn, were abhorrent.
01:18The layers of deceit, manipulation, and cruelty that you have shown are quite honestly impossible to fathom.
01:28And frankly, sir, you used your faith to manipulate the lives of others.
01:33No sentence can bring Ashley back to her children, but there must be accountability, and there must be justice.
01:41For on count one, aggravated murder, an unclassified felony, the court imposes a prison sentence of life without the possibility
01:49of parole,
01:50which by operational law is a mandatory prison sentence to be served at the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections.
01:57Thank you very much.
