LAS VEGAS — The former politician accused of killing Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German is now claiming that he was framed.
Robert Telles, the ousted Clark County public administrator who is being held without bail in German’s death, twice refused interview requests from the newspaper this week.
But in recent jailhouse interviews with other local media outlets, Telles denied his involvement in the slaying and claimed that what prosecutors have called “overwhelming” evidence against him had been planted at his home.
