The former Nevada politician who was accused of fatally stabbing a Las Vegas investigative reporter after a series of critical stories was found guilty of murder Wednesday in a trial that highlighted concerns around press safety. Robert Telles, a 47-year-old former Clark County public administrator, was convicted in the September 2022 death of Jeff German, a longtime Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter. The jury found the murder was “willful, deliberate and premeditated” and it was carried out by “lying in wait.” Telles shook his head as the verdict was read aloud. Telles faces three possible sentences with the minimum being 50 years in prison and the maximum being life in prison without parole. The penalty phase of the trial began Wednesday afternoon with German’s brother, Jay, on the stand and other family members expected to testify about Jeff German and how his death impacted their lives. “It was devastating to the family, it really was. We loved him,” said Jay German, who earlier characterized Jeff as the big brother the three siblings “all leaned on.” The defense will also be offered an opportunity for people to testify.
