A jury has found Robert Telles, a former Clark County Public Administrator, guilty of first-degree murder for the killing of Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German. The trial, which concluded with the verdict on August 28, 2024, involved allegations that Telles fatally stabbed German in September 2022. The prosecution argued that Telles was motivated by a series of articles written by German that were critical of Telles' conduct in office, which Telles claimed had ruined his career and reputation. The jury deliberated for nearly 12 hours over three days before reaching the guilty verdict.
