Robert Pape & Cristin Smith sentenced to life in prison without parole for Pinyon Pines killings
Robert Pape & Cristin Smith have been sentenced to life in Prison without the possibility of parole.
On June 6, Robert Pape and Cristin Smith were found guilty of murdering Jon Hayward and Vicki Friedli. Pape was found guilty in the murder of Becky Friedli.
Today, Judge Bernard Schwartz ruled that Pape & Smith would not be granted a new trial.
The jury spent 10 days deliberating on the decision to convict. All told, there 29 total trial days.
Today, the pair are set to be sentenced for their convictions, over ten years after the killings were committed.
Cristin Smith and Robert Pape were both initially charged with three counts of first-degree murder with special circumstance allegations of taking multiple lives.
There was a possibility that Cristin Smith’s sentence would have allowed him to be eligible for parole after the age of 60, however, he received the same sentence as Pape, who carried a more severe conviction.
After the sentencing, the Judge issued two monetary requests for the pair; $76,000 requested for the expenses relating to the deaths of Jon Hayward and Vicki Friedli and $5,000 for expenses relating to the death of Becky Friedli.
Jake Ingrassia was in the courtroom at the Riverside County Hall of Justice throughout the day today. Read the chronological notes from the sentencing to the start of proceedings below.

In 2016, a decade after the murders, Pape and Smith were arrested again after new evidence surfaced. Cell phone tower analysis suggested Pape and Smith were traveling together towards Pinyon Pines just before the murder.
Jeremy Witt, a key witness in the case, also told authorities that Smith admitted to him that he set the fire. Witt spoke exclusively with KESQ & CBS Local 2 about his time working with Smith at a Palm Springs water park in 2007.
He testified back in 2016 during a preliminary hearing but during the latest trial, he plead the 5th in order to not to incriminate himself in a separate open case against him. The defendants argued he wasn’t a credible source calling two people to testify against his character. He said he was convicted of a felony and has a restraining order against him and was known to be aggressive. Witt denies the felony conviction, showing paperwork from the U.S Marine Corps calling him back for active duty after the alleged conviction.
The jury spent 10 days deliberating on the decision to convict. All told, there 29 total trial days.
On the final day of deliberations, the jury requested 11 additional printed copies of Cristin Smith’s initial interview with detectives in 2006. Several hours later, the verdict came down.
“Justice in this case, in particular for the family and friends of Jon Hayward, Vicki Friedli, and
Vicki’s daughter Becky, has been a long time coming,” District Attorney Mike Hestrin said. “It is
clear that jurors were meticulous in their examination of the evidence in this complicated
multiple defendant case and we are pleased with their verdicts. We hope the verdicts help in
the healing process to those who knew the victims and to the Coachella Valley community as a
whole.”
