San Luis Obispo County Superior Court Judge Craig van Rooyen ruled Monday that Paul Flores is to remain in jail without bail because of fact evidence supporting the murder charge and issues with public safety.
Paul Flores is accused of murdering Cal Poly freshman Kristin Smart during an attempted rape in 1996. If convicted, Flores faces 20 years to life in prison.
Deputy District Attorney Christopher Puerelle asked the judge to hold Paul Flores in jail without bail.
