Jury deliberations resumed Thursday in the trial of the man charged with killing a Central Coast college student more than quarter of a century ago.
Paul Flores is accused of the May, 1995 slaying of Kristin Smart.
The two were classmates at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Flores walked Smart back to campus after a party. Prosecutors claim that he killed her in his dorm room during a sexual assault. Her body was never found.
His father is accused of being an accessory to the crime, helping to dispose of her remains. They both entered not guilty pleas.
The father and son were tried together, but have separate juries. The case went to the juries late last week, but a planned court shutdown meant that deliberations were suspended for the first three days of this week.
