WATCH: Caleb Flynn sobs as judge reads verdict in murder case
"WATCH: Caleb Flynn sobs as judge reads verdict in murder case" went up on East Idaho News on Tuesday. As its title says, the video shows Flynn in court as the verdict is read. The title does not say what that verdict was.
In its first eight hours it drew more than a quarter of a million views. At that pace, its first day would come to nearly forty times what a new upload on this channel usually gathers. The rest of the channel was quieter than normal, drawing well under its typical daily total. That makes this single video stand out even more.
Most of the other large local news channels were also running slower than usual. WUSA9 was the exception, holding close to its normal pace. On East Idaho News, a verdict read aloud in a courtroom drew the channel's biggest crowd.
