In a previous statement to Fox News Digital, Caleb Flynn’s attorney, L. Patrick Mulligan said prosecutors rushed to charge his client with murder.
“Caleb Flynn entered a plea of not guilty this morning and looks forward to defending this case. We are both disappointed and concerned about the short timeline in this case and the apparent rush to a verdict in this case,” Mulligan said. “When the government exhausts leads or cannot develop leads and looks to the surviving spouse in those cases, the potential for wrongful conviction increases.”
