Former 'American Idol' contestant breaks down in court at sentencing
Former "American Idol" contestant Caleb Flynn broke down in court as he was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of his wife, Ashley Flynn.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the sentencing of Caleb Flynn, identifying him as a former Ohio music pastor who appeared on American Idol and was convicted of murdering his wife. The Independent frames the story as him awaiting sentencing, while the Associated Press says he is being sentenced live and adds that Flynn had claimed a burglar shot her. Only the AP extract mentions that defense claim.
