LAS VEGAS — The murder trial for a former elected Clark County official charged in the slaying of a Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter was postponed for seven months on Wednesday.
A defense attorney for former Public Administrator Robert Telles said he would not be prepared to go to trial in April, and District Judge Michelle Leavitt set a new date for Nov. 6 during a hearing on Wednesday morning.
The 46-year-old is facing a murder charge in connection with the killing of investigative reporter Jeff German.
