"Convicted Killer of Kristin Smart Stabbed in Second Prison Attack"

Paul Flores, convicted of killing college student Kristin Smart, was stabbed at a California prison for the second time since his 2023 sentencing. The attack, believed to be an attempted homicide, occurred in the recreation yard and ended with Flores being taken to a medical facility in fair condition. This marks the second stabbing of Flores in the prison, with the inmate responsible placed in restricted housing. Flores was convicted in 2022 for the 1996 murder of Smart, who was declared legally dead in 2002, and her body has never been found.
