Kristin Smart's killer sentenced

[@reapersgirl6407]

It amazes me that a podcaster was able to do what the cops couldn’t. Bravo Chris Lambert. You deserve a medal.

[@erint8581]

It was completely mishandled from the beginning! Like not search Paul’s room until after every student was moved out and the dorm professional cleaned. Thankfully it didn’t stop 4 cadaver dogs from only hitting on two places in all of the dorms. Those places were the bed on the left side of the room, and a trash basket in same room. Paul’s room and Paul’s bed!

The fact that it took a podcaster to open up the case and capture him is mind blowing so if the podcaster never existed her case would’ve stayed closed WTF!!!!

[@minimeggs2562]

Please get your facts straight before assuming something. Her case was NEVER closed, it had been open all this time. Trust me, driving past a huge missing persons sign constantly has an effect on a community, there have been tips over the years but nothing substantial. It’s just that Cal Poly refused to open an investigation and it took too long to get SLO PD to open the case. Mistakes were made from day 1 which gave Paul time to cover his tracks. There’s a reason he moved away, he was harassed constantly and couldn’t take it. YES, I know this story all too well… I grew up right there.

[@campbell3711]

Didn’t capture anyone🤣🤣 His podcast made the story go international bringing more eyes and interest but he certainly did not “ crack the case” or solve it. He pointed the finger at the last person to be seen alive with Kristen which people in the same community ran the man responsible out so people knew who it was.

[@madnessintomagic]

After listening to People vs Flores I’m absolutely DISGUSTED with his attorney. Passive aggressive. Gaslighting. Disingenuous. Invalidating. Disrespectful of experts qualifications but also dismissive of the rules of the courtroom. He would just repeatedly ask questions over and over **even though they were forbidden in pre-trial** AND objected to/sustained each time he tried. And then he’d play innocent/frustrated/confused as to why he wasn’t being allowed to say what he wanted. Awful, awful man. The amount of times he play acted at being confused, as a manipulation tactic made me sick. Hope the jury saw through it. I’d have wanted to convict just based on his transparent efforts to twist the narrative with transparent lies. He came across as someone who knew his client was guilty and knew he couldn’t just use a straight defense, so he was going to manipulate and hope the jury was stupid. Not at all surprised that’s what a Flores would choose in a lawyer. His dad shouldn’t have been acquited. And his mom should have been next to him in the dock.

[@erint8581]
