A Nevada judge is due Tuesday to hear a former Las Vegas-area elected official’s bid to dismiss his lawyer and represent himself on a murder charge in the killing of a veteran investigative journalist who wrote articles critical of him and his office.
Robert “Rob” Telles, a former Democratic county official, recently told The Associated Press in a jail interview that he intends to drop the attorney he hired in January and find another lawyer to get his case to trial quicker than the recently postponed November date.
