A former Las Vegas-area Democratic politician has been sentenced to a minimum of 28 years in prison for the murder of investigative journalist Jeff German. The judge added eight years to the initial 20 years to life sentence set by the jury. Robert Telles, the convicted politician, was found guilty of killing German outside his home during Labor Day weekend in 2022.
German, a respected journalist who covered crime, courts, and corruption in Las Vegas for 44 years, was 69 years old at the time of his death. Telles, who was 47 years old, served as the elected administrator of a Clark County office handling unclaimed estate and probate property cases.
