A California judge ruled Monday that a man convicted of killing 19-year-old college student Kristin Smart in 1996 must pay more than $AUD529,000 to her family for costs they incurred after her death.
Monterey County Superior Court Judge Jennifer O'Keefe ordered Paul Flores to make the payments after a hearing last Wednesday, during which the family told the court how much they paid for travel, a private investigator, billboards seeking information, lost wages and a celebration of life gathering.
“It's demeaning to Kristin's memory to measure our loss in finances,” her mother Denise Smart told The Tribune of San Luis Obispo after Wednesday's hearing. “Our loss is Kristin.”
