Robert Telles, the Democrat Clark County official accused of fatally stabbing a Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter in September 2022 was found guilty of first-degree murder on Wednesday.
Jeff German, 69, was found stabbed to death in front of his home in September 2022 on a Saturday morning.

In June 2022, Democrat Robert Telles lost his re-election bid after Jeff German uncovered a hostile work environment in Telles’ office.
German had filed a public records request for emails and text messages between Telles and his colleagues.
Shortly before Jeff German’s murder, it was revealed that Clark County was going to release private texts and photos of Telles with his mistress.

Robert Telles’ DNA was discovered beneath Jeff German’s fingernails.
The Democratic official consistently asserted that all evidence against him was either distorted or planted.
Telles lowered his head in court as the jury foreperson announced the guilty verdict.

ABC News reported:
A former Nevada politician was found guilty Wednesday of killing journalist Jeff German in September 2022.
As the jury’s foreperson read out the verdict, Telles looked down and shook his head.
In a press conference after the verdict was announced, Clark County District Attorney Steven Wolfson thanked the jury for their work on the case.
“Today’s verdict should send a message, and that message is a clear message that any attempts to silence the media, or to silence or intimidate a journalist, will not be tolerated,” Wolfson said.
Prosecutors said former Clark County public administrator Robert Telles, 47, stabbed the Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter to death after German exposed corruption in his office, destroying both his political career and his marriage. German’s story detailed an allegedly hostile work environment in Telles’ office — including bullying, retaliation and an “inappropriate relationship” between Telles and a staffer — all of which Telles denied.

Justice!
He deserves to be HANGED
Shaking his head when the verdict was read; still playing the victim and he’s a cold blooded murderer says it all! They should now send this psychopath off to the final judgment as there is nothing there to salvage, evil is evil!
while there will be errors in innocent murders being executed I am a firm believer specifically in black and white cases where guilt is not refutable that executions should take place 30-60 days when a guilty verdict is given . We have come from hanging thiefs to allowing murders to live in prison . Execute without delay .
this is what demon-rats think of honesty and truth being told to the Amerikan sheeople. Why is this not a front page story? Because the left, loves to, LIE. The dishonest urine-al-ist & communist need to die. I HAVE A DREAM
Timothy you’re correct! And there are plenty of flaky idiotic no nothing voters out there! That is partly what the cabal count on and have used to keep the Agenda Going for years; and with dumb-down and mass media brainwashing they’ve gotten the masses to be good stupid sheeple! The Illuminati is behind this whole fiasco! Pray! We need divine intervention like what stopped President Trump’s gray matter from being blown all over the MAGA crowd for effect and to scare them! The people pulling stings are the most diabolical on earth!
Pray and mean it to God Almighty in Jesus’ name! We are on the precipice!
Gut shoot then skin him
