LAS VEGAS — Employees with the Clark County public administrator’s office filed into a courtroom on Wednesday to watch as their former boss pleaded not guilty to a murder charge in the killing of Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German.
Prosecutors then announced that they will not seek the death penalty in the case of former Public Administrator Robert Telles, who is accused of fatally stabbing German last month, after German had reported on Telles and his role as an elected official.
German was found dead with stab wounds outside his Las Vegas home on Sept. 3, the day after Telles allegedly walked onto German’s property and attacked him.
