Explaining what happens before Caleb Flynn's sentencing
Among the local news stations closest to it in size, LOCAL 12 is running furthest above its normal daily pace. WPBF 25 News in West Palm Beach is also well above its usual level, and NBC10 Philadelphia sits below its own.
One new upload from the Cincinnati station stands out. "Explaining what happens before Caleb Flynn's sentencing" passed 22,000 views in its first eight hours. That puts it on course for roughly thirty times what a LOCAL 12 video usually draws on its first day. The station's other new reports from the same days include a Kentucky state trooper's death, Ohio's gas tax holiday and a looming school bus strike. They are still in the hundreds or fewer.
The video follows a jury's verdict on Tuesday afternoon, which found Flynn guilty on all counts. Judge Jeannine Pratt set sentencing for Monday, October 5. The report walks through what is expected before then, including the preparation of victim impact statements ahead of the judge's decision. Defense attorney Patrick Mulligan told reporters after the verdict that the outcome was disappointing and that the defense intends to appeal.
In the comments, many viewers write about what sentence they expect the judge to hand down. Others react to the defense's plan to take the case to the court of appeals.
