A Man Is Convicted For the Murder of Kristin Smart
The last man seen with Kristin Smart was convicted Tuesday of killing the college freshman, who vanished from a California campus more than 25 years ago, but his father was acquitted of helping him conceal the crime.
Jurors unanimously found Paul Flores guilty of first-degree murder. He could face 25 years to life in prison when he is sentenced.
In an email, his attorney, Robert Sanger, declined to comment on the verdict because “the matter is still pending.”
