What happened
Jurors in Las Vegas found former Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles guilty of murder yesterday, nearly two years after the September 2022 stabbing death of investigative journalist Jeff German. The longtime Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter had published several articles about Telles, including affairs and discord in his office, and Telles blamed German's reporting for his defeat in a June 2022 Democratic primary.
