Robert Telles' Trial Begins for Journalist's Murder
News summary

The trial of Robert Telles, a former Clark County Public Administrator accused of killing investigative journalist Jeff German, has begun with jury selection and opening statements. German, who was known for covering corruption and government scandals, was found stabbed to death outside his home in September 2022. Telles, who was arrested days later, has pleaded not guilty, claiming he was framed and alleging police misconduct. Prosecutors argue that German's investigative articles about Telles' misconduct in office provided the motive for the murder, citing strong physical evidence including Telles' DNA found under German's fingernails. This case has drawn significant attention as German was the only journalist killed in the U.S. in 2022. The trial is expected to last around ten days with both sides presenting compelling arguments and evidence.
