Former “American Idol” contestant Caleb Flynn was sentenced to life in prison without parole Monday for the murder of his wife, Ashley Flynn, in Tipp City, Ohio. He was found guilty on all nine charges after jurors deliberated for roughly 2½ hours.

During the sentencing hearing, Flynn’s daughters delivered emotional messages through letters read in court. One daughter asked, “How could you do such a thing? I looked up to you. I loved you with all my heart.” She also questioned, “What did she ever do to make you hate her so much?” She wrote that she still prays for her father to confess and repent.

His other daughter, Alyssa, told him, “The least you could do is tell everyone you did it and receive your outcome.” She also wrote, “I don’t plan on coming to see you.”

Flynn sobbed as the letters were read. Before sentencing, he apologized to his daughters and Ashley’s family, saying they remained his “greatest joy.” However, he continued to deny killing Ashley.

Flynn told the court, “I did not kill my wife,” and said he would continue fighting to prove his innocence.

The case involved an alleged affair, more than 100,000 messages and prosecutors’ claims that Ashley’s death was staged to look like an intruder attack.

00:00Dear Caleb, this is your daughter, Alyssa.
00:04I love you deeply with all my heart, and it's sad that you can't love anyone but yourself.
00:11I wish that you could come to understand that actions have consequences, and you have a lot to pay.
00:18So please, you have already caused so much pain to your family and the world.
00:26The least you could do is tell everyone you did it and receive your outcome.
00:32Also, please repent to God, the one who created you.
00:37Your time isn't over.
00:40Did you really even think about how much pain you would bring your own two daughters?
00:48By the way, Ashley Flynn was the best thing that ever happened to you.
00:54You had the best life ever, and you decided to throw it away for a girl who was half your
01:02age.
01:04How could you stand in that church and sing about how much you loved God when you knew all the
01:09secrets you had inside?
01:12And watch your girls cheering you on and your wife, who believed in you so much and loved you more
01:18than life itself.
01:22You truly don't understand how much you hurt my life, and I wish you could feel the pain I have
01:30been through.
01:32Something so tragic, and to know that it was my father was just shocking.
01:40You made me feel like an idiot, thinking that I could trust you.
01:46But God has been working through me, and I have changed.
01:52Also, our family has never been stronger, and through all of what you put me through, God is going to
02:00work something out for good.
02:03And by the way, I don't plan on coming to see you, Alyssa Flynn.
