After successfully prosecuting Paul Flores for the murder of Kristin Smart, Peuvrelle has been appointed as a Supervising Attorney for the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office.

I will always be grateful for his service and friendship,” said Dow. “While I am sad to lose Chris as a prosecutor in our community, he is joining a great office under the leadership of District Attorney Jeannine Pacioni and I am confident that he will pursue justice just as vigorously for the people of Monterey County. This rare opportunity to become a supervising attorney puts Chris’ experience and talent to great use and it will serve Chris and his family well.”
