Last Wednesday, former Democratic politician Robert Telles was convicted in the murder of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German. Telles, 47, was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 20 years for stabbing German to death on Sept. 2, 2022. Prosecutors alleged that Telles committed the crime due to anger over German's critical reporting on him and his workplace conduct.
During the trial, Telles claimed he was framed in a broad conspiracy involving law enforcement and political rivals. The jury foreman, Gregory Whitney, revealed that jurors deliberated for three days, reviewing testimony from 30 witnesses and 400 pieces of evidence, including photos, videos, and police reports.
