Robert Telles was a former Nevada politician accused of plotting and killing Jeff German. The trial began in 2024, two years after the murder.

Death of Vegas Reporter
Jeff German was a Las Vegas reporter who mainly covered stories about crimes and corruption. In 2022, he was found dead outside of his home. He had several stab wounds. Robert Telles was taken into custody for holding until the police could make sense of what happened. German investigated Telles and wrote articles about him. He made negative allegations about Telles regarding his work environment and inappropriate relations.
Earlier that year, Telles was denied reelection for the Democratic party in Nevada. He blamed that on the articles written about him by Jeff German. It was clear he was not the biggest fan of German, so he was the main suspect in his murder. German was stabbed seven times, not including the several other defense wounds he had from fighting. Telles’ DNA was found on the victim, under German’s fingernails. After discovering the DNA, Robert Telles was officially charged and denied bail.
Robert Telles’ Testimony
There was surveillance footage from German’s neighborhood showing a man hiding in the bushes outside of his home. He was wearing a large sunhat, and a neon orange jacket, and drove a maroon SUV. He hid in the bushes until German arrived home where he was then stabbed seven times. The prosecution focused heavily on the footage. A search warrant of Robert Telles’ home uncovered the items he wore the day of the murder and that the SUV belonged to him.
Robert Telles testified on his behalf. He described a conspiracy theory of events that led to his arrest. He claimed that his colleagues, the police, and the prosecutors were trying to frame him for the murder. According to him, he was at home most of the day besides taking a walk and going to the gym. His alibi was shot down when it didn’t align with his recovered phone records. The prosecution blatantly denied his theory and his alibi simply because it did not make any sense.
Final Thoughts
The trial lasted for about eleven days. There were twelve jurors, and deliberation spread across three days due to them deadlocking. It took them a while to reach a verdict because they had to go through all the evidence several times. There were some not sure and others leaned both ways. In the end, they reached a unanimous decision and found the evidence to be clean-cut. Robert Telles was found guilty of murdering Jeff German. He was sentenced the same day by the jurors to life in prison with the possibility of parole after serving twenty years.
