The American Way of Killing

A verdict has been reached in the Caleb Flynn case, drawing fresh attention to the 2023 killing of his wife, former American Idol contestant Caleb Kennedy's family member. The victim's father said he doubted his son-in-law's account from the start, noting that the family dogs did not react in a way consistent with the story Flynn gave. Coverage of the testimony is fueling widespread discussion of the outcome.

Author Malcolm Gladwell is promoting his new book, 'The American Way of Killing', in a new interview. The book examines America's relationship with lethal violence, a recurring theme in his work. Coverage of the interview has put the title back into public conversation as Gladwell explains its arguments.
