The jury in the high-profile trial of Robert Telles, accused of the 2022 murder of investigative journalist Jeff German, has reached a verdict, a court spokesperson confirmed. The verdict will be read aloud in court at 12 p.m. today.
Jurors began their deliberations on Monday and have been meticulously reviewing the evidence and witness testimonies presented during the nearly two-week trial. The extended deliberation period underscores the complexity and gravity of the case.
German’s family and colleagues from the Las Vegas Review-Journal have been present throughout the trial, anxiously awaiting the jury’s decision. The public administrator’s office employees are also keenly observing the proceedings.
Telles, a former Clark County public administrator, is accused of fatally stabbing German outside his home in September 2022. The case has garnered significant attention due to German’s investigative reporting on Telles’ alleged misconduct in office, which is believed to have been a motive for the killing.
The jury’s verdict will bring closure to this closely-watched trial and determine the fate of Robert Telles.
