I thought I’d gone crazy – I’ve been looking for ANY evidence, just one ioda to convict Paul Flores and haven’t found one shred. Thank you for this lawyer who is saying the same.
According to half the jury of the father they thought he was guilty but there was no evidence to prove it so they had to say not guilty
I stumbled on this case while listening to Unsolved Murders podcast on Spotify. I was so intrigued by the case that I followed up with In Your Own Backyard. I am ecstatic to hear Kristin's family has finally been given the closure that they deserve. I wish the murderer's parents had been convicted of aiding and abetting. They participated 100% in protecting this monster. Most parents would do anything to protect their child even when s/he is guilty of a crime BUT it is extremely selfish to ignore the pain of the victim.
Although emotionally I know he did it. Legally there is not enough evidence
He should of been in jail years ago!! All the evidence brought against him was valid and should have been included! He is getting what he deserves! Finally!
Can the Prosecution not respond too the non guilty verdict try again too convict the father ….. I do believe his father helped him get rid of the Kristine’s body. Nice that Paul was convicted no drought he guilty too bad the father was found not guilty .the system failed .
Please add chapters to these videos! it makes it easier for us who want to skip to a topic. 🙏🏻
BRAVE HEY HAHAHAHA. WATCH THERE FLESH ROTS JUST LIKE THE HEATHEN WE JUDGE.
i can not believe that tis evil person is allowed to represent himself and put these victims through the pain of having to be question by a killer, i could not control my self from jumping over and try to harm him, i praise them for keeping their cool, God bless them
76 counts for Brooks The judge said 77 but it was corrected by her to 76 on record.
Jury got it right.
I don't think a ball gagg is a hobby
today many women lie and it is so sad
He doesn't have any remorse and deserve death sentence
I believe he killed her
boring
Ok soooooooooooo – although his hair and glasses were on point and perfect. I couldn’t focus; because, that plant over the vent is just bothering me SO MUCH! Ugh- 😒😩
Just FYI- no woman, or man for that matter, needs ANY F*CKING EXCUSE or reason as to why they didn’t speak up about being RAPED “soon enough”. That makes me sick, to hear you outline that defense and speak about it as though it had any f*cking merit at all.
When you rape a person, you destroy a piece of their soul. People spend years coming to terms with it, sometimes denying the reality that it happened, sometimes even believing it was their own fault. These are defense mechanisms to preserve what’s left of a human after this bastard steamrolled through their lives.
So for you to make the argument that, “well gee, why didn’t they go to authority sooner?”, when the destruction of their entire existence perpetrated by the defendant himself is precisely what CAUSED their inability to come out sooner, makes me quite literally want to vomit on the two of your fancy and expensive suits.
How dare you.
I’m so happy for the Smart family. Finally getting the justice that Kristen deserves!!
There is no way they can leave Scientology out of the Masterson trial since the cult was the reason the women were coerced by Scientology not to press charges!!
Brooks made the most disgusting closing argument that I think many will ever hear!
Paul a pimp
Great topics and great though provoking comments on these cases.
Rest In Peace dear Kristin
Sometimes defendants don’t do themselves any favors by getting on the stand ie. the contemptible jerk convicted of killing his wife. He called her a coke whore in the stand.
In regards to Paul Flores, if you're not convinced; In 2003, Paul Flores’ attorney Melvin De la Motte met with the Smart family attorney James Murphy to discuss a deal. Murphy spoke with law enforcement about a proposal that offered to disclose where Kristen’s BODY was in exchange for a minor charge such as an infraction…. so. There's that
The judge is a saint.
The Brooks trail, that guy is just having fun, put him in prison together with a few skunks plz and throw away the key.
The Judge has alot of patience in the Brooks trail. Thank you for discussing these topics today.
I don’t think the Newsom evidence is going to be that detrimental to the case. It’s not uncommon for victims of SA to defend their abuser.
Wow!! Competition on which notable attorney has the best head of hair……coin toss!! Richard Schoenstein adds a great Ying to your Yang, Josh! Great analysis on this Smart case that I've followed for decades and acknowledge all the botched-up police investigation and dropped balls plus the excess time etc. but in the end, the jury got this one right. I'd say the father and possibly both parents are guilty of accessory in reality but suspect the jury just couldn't agree on the scant actual evidence. Any way you slice it, this was an awful, senseless sad case all around and although people will argue that it needed some kind of resolution, I believe the justice system worked and they got their right man in the end.

Ugh is it bad if I love getting new true crime or tsb notifications ❤️❤️❤️ im beyond happy this sweet girl and her family for justice. Even if it was so long after…
The Waukesha judge has the patience of a saint. I don't think I could control myself being a juror without screaming at him to shut the hell up. I think it's insane along with ignorant for him to represent himself. We all know he's guilty we all watched it, however he deserves a fair trial. There needs to be a law put in place if somebody wants to represent themselves that they need an actual attorney as a second chair. That way the judge doesn't have to answer legal questions the state doesn't have to be nice he has an attorney to ask the questions that he doesn't know the answers to. This whole trials insane and I truly hope they bury him under the jail.
What I wouldn't give to be in control of that waist/ankle shock 'belt' BUTTON that Babbling Brooks is attached to!
23:59 I think the majority of the entire world would agree, that THAT is one ugly, scary, pathetic SOB/POS. It seems that going from a filthy rich sex addict/freak, to a convicted felon/rapist etc isn't digesting well for him in the slammer! Good-You REAP what you SOW, Harvey Rapestein!
He's a racist paedophile. This is what happens when you allow people to demonise white people and claim reverse racism doesn't exist.
