Saturday evening at the downtown city park in Paso Robles, more than 200 people turned out for a candle light vigil to honor Kristin Smart, who disappeared back in 1996.
Speakers at the event included the pod-caster Chris Lambert, who addressed the murder in his podcast called, “Your Own Backyard.”
Lambert spoke briefly. He thanked many people including the San Luis Obispo county sheriff’s department who investigated the case and arrested Paul Flores and his father, Ruben Flores.
Arraignment is expected to continue today in San Luis Obispo superior court.
Judicial analysts are concerned about the rights of the accused father and son to a fair trial in light of the pre-trial publicity.
