SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — More than 26 years after Cal Poly student Kristin Smart disappeared, Paul Flores is scheduled to be sentenced for her murder.
A Monterey County jury convicted the San Pedro man of first-degree murder on Oct. 18 while a separate jury acquitted his father, Arroyo Grande resident Ruben Flores, of helping his son conceal the crime.
Before the sentencing, a Monterey County Superior Court judge will rule on whether Paul Flores should get a new trial.
