Las Vegas, NV – Robert Telles, the former Clark County Public Administrator accused of murdering Las Vegas Review-Journal journalist Jeff German, appeared in court on Tuesday for a pre-trial hearing.
Key Points:
- Telles, who previously represented himself, is now represented by attorney Robert Draskovich.
- Draskovich presented a motion requesting evidence related to a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department bribery investigation.
- Prosecutors revealed a previously undiscovered voicemail containing a death threat found on German’s phone during a search.
- Draskovich, stating the voicemail’s possible connection to another article German wrote, argued for using it as evidence and delaying the trial.
- While Telles still prefers the March 8th trial date, prosecutors requested additional time to investigate the voicemail and potentially call witnesses.
- The Las Vegas Review-Journal confirmed progress in reviewing German’s phone but requires further examination before determining what information is relevant for the trial.
- A follow-up hearing is scheduled for March 6th.
